I guess I can take some pics of it in pieces. LOL
It won't get run until I get a tuned pipe for it.
I also need to strip all the lame stickers off and paint the outside of the body flat black. Even with a heat gun, the stickers don't want to come off easily.

Not for the 5ive.
I bought one for the HPI 5SC, but have since canceled it since I want to go in a different direction on it.

Rob you probably know this, but you can take a paper towel and soak in in WD40 and lay over the stickers for a while, they should peel right off then.

Now you tell me. LOL
Never tried doing that with WD40, but it makes sense since I use WD40 to remove any left over sticky residue.

Sorry, I'm slacking these days.
Old bike graphics trick. If you do any stickers when it's done, a 50/50 mix of water and rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle will let you slide them around to where you want them, then squegee out the excess and let dry overnight.

Yep windex will work, I always worried about any ammonia and the glue though. Soapy water like doing window tint works also, but takes longer to dry

Here is a pic of the Zenoah with some goodies installed. Carb does not use a choke.
Turtle Clutch Housing and Carrier are installed along with a Team Chase Diaphragm Filter and Outerwears.
Fuel lines replaced with Tygon and Crap Trap added.
Radio tray with Savox servox and Orion LiFe receiver pack
Misc spare parts that came in today
I had more pics, but they got corrupted so I will have to take them over.

So if the old engine will fit a 5b....what would you want for it if you sold it?

Not a matter of if. It is for sale and I just haven't bothered to list it yet. The Losi engine is a direct fit into a Baja since they both use the same engine.
I would be looking for $150 shipped in the USA for the complete engine with carb and 8000 RPM clutch. No air filter or muffler included as shown in these pics.

That's a hell of a deal, and that dogpile engine is looking sick Rob!

Turtle braces came in today.
This will give you an idea how big these are.
Another idea of scale. Servo saver arm on the left is from the 5ive. Servo saver arm on the right is from the HPI Baja. As I said, the 5ive makes a Baja look like a T-Maxx.

After failing me on the 24th, USPS came through today.
I got it mounted to the engine and onto the chassis in under 15 minutes.

Got all the decals removed and sprayed the body with Krylon Ultra Flat Black with Krylon Fusion Hammered Silver.
