Click to Subscribe! ► - It is blowing outside as a HUGE STORM is coming in.. but this does not deter us from opening up this box, and showing you whats inside! Everett and I are at it again, but this time it is the 5th Scale Boss that has a new toy - The new Losi 5ive B is an extension of the 5ive series from Horizon Hobby and the LOSI brand. We are hoping to get this done in time for the BiG Dirty, (RCSparks Studio - Big 1/5 scale Race) being filmed this weekend! Time to buckle down and get building.
A lot of folks ask me about the products I use in my films.. so I have taken the liberty of leaving some information from the manufacturers website below, to better help assist in getting the reader the information quickly.
From the website:
"Like the championship-winning 8IGHT™ platform on which it is based, the big 5IVE-B™ buggy has been engineered for one thing – winning races. No mere RTR conversion, it is a purpose-designed racing kit that you equip with the engine and electronics of your choice.
FEATURES:
PURPOSE-BUILT RACING CHASSIS
Unlike most so-called 1/5-scale racing buggies, this one comes with a chassis specifically engineered for competition. Inspired by the legendary TLR® 8IGHT™ platform, it is machined from hard-anodized, 5mm 6061-T6 aluminum and features a shorter wheel base for better handling. It also has milled pockets that save weight and allow enough flex for maximum traction under hard acceleration.
HEAVY DUTY BRAKES
Stamped-steel rotors, combined with the heavy duty plates and pads, provide a sense of confidence and control that let racers drive harder into the turns and come to a stop more quickly. Front-to-rear braking bias can also be fine-tuned for evolving track conditions.
DUAL-STEERING-SERVO RADIO TRAY
The radio tray can accommodate the most powerful 1/5-scale servos available. The Spektrum(tm) line of 1/5-scale servos (sold separately) are great choices. Their patent-pending Back EMF technology prevents servo fade and maintains maximum holding power for the duration of a receiver pack.
RACING BODY AND WING
The cab-forward body and wing are inspired by those used on 1/8-scale racing buggies. The distinctive shape of the body moves aerodynamic pressure further forward on the car, which improves steering at speed. The wing has a removable wicker bill for adjusting rear downforce.
ALUMINUM CLUTCH CARRIER AND CENTER DIFF CASE
Harnessing the power of a high-output gas engine during an hour long main requires a race-bred drive system engineered to exacting standards. The 5IVE-B buggy has one. Both the clutch carrier and center-differential case are made of CNC machined aluminum that adds strength and durability as well as dissipates heat.
Hard-Anodized Aluminum Shocks and Shock Towers
HARD-ANODIZED ALUMINUM SHOCKS AND SHOCK TOWERS
The hard anodized, 24mm shocks include bleeder caps that make them easier to build without sacrificing performance. The shocks also benefit from X-rings, shock boots and TiCN shock shafts for smooth, consistent performance. The shock towers offer multiple shock mounting options that give racers an abundance of tuning options for different track conditions.
