replace your rear drive shaft with the losi one.. the stock rovan rear drive shaft seems to always bend and death wobble the bearing in the diff case to death.. during racing season MULTIPLE people went through bearings and rear diff cases because of the rear drive shaft bending. i ASSUME its softer metal than the stock losi one.. and because its softer metal and being the long length that it is it will bend under torque when landing. also buy a shock kit for the shocks.. they are decent shocks but the fluid is TOO light and the damper pistons inside are WAY too loose..

Yup 1000Euro for Rovan lt450 and around 350 for ready to install że oah g320. Łosi 5ive 1600euro. But you get many alu parts with Rovan and you can spread that price in time. Drive with stock crap engine for 6-12months then get zenoah. That's what I did. And its also not like losi doesn't need upgrades. It's comes with plastic braces on chassis,.crappy servos and useless box exhaust. So add like 400Euro for just those. Anyway it's pointless to argue about which one is better.. obviously losi is better. But 99% can't afford it and even Rovan Lt is still very expensive for toy. That needs to be constantly reminded to spoiled millionaire brats talking about łosi superiority, so they don't forget most people aren't freaking millionaires 😂
@Angry-Lynx10 ай бұрын
Good video mate, I agree with conclusion, it's definitely not łosi quality, but it's still better deal. It's good option imo for someone like me who always dreamed about 5ive but like almost everyone just can't spend such crazy cash on toy. So to me some issues almost doesn't matter. What matters is that I could afford not perfect 5ive, work on it, fix improve etc. But I would never buy łosi. Ever. So in a way rovan does more good to hobby than łosi imo. And market verified what's better deal. Both hpi and łosi overpriced fifth scales are out of market while 30dnt, rovan etc are thriving. And that's good! The market have this beautiful feat of self regulation, and customers decided with their money what's better for most people ;]

Some differences in my Lt bought around 2020-21. Mine was 450, so the best equipped version but with worst engine. Fully conscious decision on my part. Drive with that engine till it falls apart and get zenoah. Some notes: mine quality control was better, everything was tight and thread locked really well. Diffs felt perfectly,all sealed, though my center also leaked oil. Throttle servo horn was stripped. Few plastic threads were stripped from the factory. My shocks were perfect from factory and felt buttery smooth and still are. Chassis setup was also very good in terms of geometry etc. So u could say there were both positive and negative surprises. I can defo forgive all small imperfections/quality control issues on chassis but engine is total crap unfortunately. Servos and radios are good. fast enough though I wish receiver would be high voltage cuz I'd want to sport 3s in it, servos would almost surely take it and be crazy fast. The only mist haves for rovan Lt are push pull steering, alu throttle horn and of course zenoah engine with ori carb. All the rest is mix of ok/fine/good. Drivetrain is also good quality metal after over year of abuse diffs are strong and shafts have just minimal wear. I think I stripped spider gears in central diff but they took quite some driving so I can forgive that. I just locked it with screws and nuts and drive with locked center diff, for bashing it's better, especially now in snow lol 😅

Heres my advice from someone who have rovan baja and rovan lt. Dont get losi. Dont get Lt. Get baja. Its cheap, fun, simple, light, reliable, easy to work on. 5ive is exact opposite. Im serious 4x4 is fun and all but with gassers you won't be doing any serious offroad/crawling anyway. And thats all advantages of 5iven platform (4x4). Everything else is worse. Baja have also lot of optional parts/upgrades if youre into wasting money :)

I disagree with you. I’ve had 3 hpi bajas. All a pain and constantly breaking… my 5ive t hasn’t broke once, and I’ve had it for a couple years now. The rovan broke a couple times. I race these things, I put a lot of abuse on them. The 5ive t is a superior platform. It’s 10x easier to clean. The bajas have so many small nooks and spots where crap gets stuck. The 5ive t is a lot more spread out and so much easier to access everything.
@Angry-Lynx10 ай бұрын
Look, if money is not object for ya then losi is obvious choice. But for every normal working person rovan is just so much better deal. Yes there are lot of issues in stock form and engines are mostly useless so they are for people who are not afraid to get hands dirty. american millionaires who change parts because they got dirty obviously won't be interested in that, will get losi and all, mostly useless "upgrades" like alu fuel cap and suspension arms 😂 Financially imo you can't win with 5ive and his clones. I heard 30dnt is superb clone. And you can get roller chassis so thats probably the best deal with zenoah 320. Imo get 30dnt or just any baja clone. They are soooo much simpler,.more reliable and tbh often more fun. Just because 5ives are more expensive doesn't mean better. They are super heavy, complex, maintenance heavy and extremely expensive. Baja is just careless driving smashing shit. Parts are cheap and easy to replace. Maybe besides diff😂

Use it for first break in. It doesn’t hurt, in fact it helps to run rich on oil for first break in. Yep… it might foul out the spark plug. Clean it, replace it after that and then mix from a single gallon can after that… then throw the thing out. Or, use it to carry extra fuel that’s already been mixed.
