Did I catch the Shaft on This $800 Losi 5ive T 2.0....

[@RC-Closer1313]

$800?!?!? Wow bro, what a steal!!

[@portcitygrady]

You got a great deal, my brother. You can always put another motor in it and keep it going. As a matter of fact.Taylor RC has some of the best. Send it bro! He probably just want it out because it can get expensive but honestly this truck dont break often.

[@SketchRC-]

I might look into one down the road. Indod the esp g340 build and pretty satisfied with it. Just got a 30DN body. It's definitely a tank. Crazy how it's one of the most durable rcs I have yet the heaviest and biggest 😆

[@portcitygrady]

@@SketchRC- when you get your g340 motor make sure you pick up the lower billet aluminum reed case setup. dave discount motors / DDM sells it. Trust me bro you will thank me later 😁🕹🛻

[@eleazarguzmanrn6945]

Bro u got the deal of the century!

[@portcitygrady]

That part you saw in the bag is a plate extension it allows you to put a 360 degree pull start on. You have to put an extension shaft on the fly wheel and put the clutch on. Rovan RC has them for Their website. easy starters pull start.

[@SketchRC-]

Thanks!

[@portcitygrady]

You are welcome bro. In my experience with these motors.... my biggest issue has been the pull start. Find you some good high quality pull starts because the string is going to snap and the coil and it will frustrate you. It never happens when you are driving the truck. It always happens when your about to start it up. Have fun. You got the deal of a lifetime.

[@SketchRC-]

@portcitygrady lol I already replaced it because this exact issue. After the rebuild think the higher compression caused it. I ordered a spare just in case.

[@cjchannel12RC]

You got a legit steal brother! I wish i could find an awesome deal like that but right now i'm in the middle of several projects but have always wanted a 5ive-T 2.0 since i first saw one at my local hobby shop a few years ago. But the cost is something i have a hard time to commit saving up for i also would electric convert mine later on down the road although i will run it stock gas for awhile and see if gas is for me or if i should make it a Max 4\560kv 12s brushless beast.

[@spenn2007]

Man, you are going off LOL buying up all the best stuff! Again, you're purchasing RC's you can keep for decades. I looked into getting one of these two weeks and Horizon stated there won't be any ready until October of this year. My LBH is going to order a DBLXE, i transitioned careers and got a large salary increase, i gotta stay ahead of my wife so she can't bitch.

[@SketchRC-]

Lol I couldn't pass this one up!! Been years I've wanted one and like you had a career change and thankfully can afford things like this now.

[@rmarkley79]

Congrats on the find, she sounded great. Can't wait to see it in action!

[@SketchRC-]

Just ran it full throttle...unbelievable!

[@rmarkley79]

@@SketchRC- that's killer! When I drove my buddies, it was in the middle of nowhere in Nevada. You bring that out to the sand spot you hit with the mojave, I bet it would tear it up! Have fun!

[@JoesGarage831]

Go no more than 1/2 throttle for 2 tanks, give it hr break between those 2 tanks and your golden. Heat cycles have probably been done if it's had a full tank through it already 👌, great buy too, welcome fellow 5ter

[@lnskustoms6795]

The black midplate is for the easy start pull cord. Would also be putting a remote kill switch on it. Runaways are a real thing and not fun.

[@SketchRC-]

Thanks, I installed one and glad I did. Throttle servo failed WOT. Click of the button and she was coasting to a stop!

[@lnskustoms6795]

@SketchRC- what brand of kill switch did you go with if I might ask. I have found that the triton kill switches from primal rc are great to use. I have half a dozen of the dynamite brand ones and have had too many fail on me. I have done a couple of videos on them. "LNS-KUSTOMS " on youtube is my channel.

[@boduke9428]

I would take that deal in a heartbeat. Even if the motor was toast. First thing I'd do is order the conversion kit and spend all that money i saved on a Max 4 650kv combo. Those trucks are crazy on 12s. I'll run across mine one day.

[@SketchRC-]

Exactly! Why I didn't even care that he didn't start it. But it turned out nothing was even wrong with it!! Honest man!

[@SebastianLong]

Dont electric convert it. The gas engine will run 3 hours with a 2s 5000mah lipo. Mine has a pipe and a velocity stack. I run mine on a 7200 mah Killer RC lipo. 3 sessions of 45 minutes (timer on my transmitter) and after 45 minutes it has 1/4 tank left. After the 3 sessions my lipo typically reads 3.9 volts per cell. On an electric conversion, you'll get max 15 minutes.

[@SketchRC-]

She's staying Gas! So awesome having a 2 stroke RC.

[@PhantomMark]

What do you think of the DBXL 2.0 ?? been dabbling with the idea of one ?? as I mentioned before you pretty much have the same as me in terms of other RC's (SBR2 is awesome eh ?) :D Also wondering - with some mods could the 5t body fit on the DBXL ? I know wheelbase/track is a bit different but I have the means to make "mods" here?

[@Johnny6ex]

Its with all 2 strokes choke until fires once choke off or 2 pulls with choke on then off

[@SketchRC-]

Oh yeah, I owned lots of 2 strokes.

[@blakamin]

People buy new cars, then think "i better buy spare parts just in case"... and never use any of them... Do NOT ask how I know this ....

[@250rtrxjunkie]

Nice buy🤘💯

[@SketchRC-]

Thanks!

[@RcRelated]

Congrats I’m still waiting to find a deal like that Enjoy bro 😎

[@jairoquezada91]

I got mine for $700 used with spare new aluminum wheels and car looked hardly even used and engine cranks in the first 2pulls 😊

[@SketchRC-]

That's awesome! The deals are out there!

[@brucecampbellx]

Very cool! Nice score. 👍

[@nickkoepplinger9204]

That's soooo awesome you got a smoken deal bro you are a lucky man I want they just cost so much and I have a kraton 8s exb and a xmaxx so do I really need one 😉 I do...lol

[@SketchRC-]

You do! Lol, exactly how I was. I would never pay retail for it, but I had to jump when I saw it listed. So glad I did.

[@mraudio8042]

Wow what a great deal !

[@Rebecca_The_Dragon]

You could EASILY sell that for like 1500 right now. Its brand spanking new.

[@SketchRC-]

I could never!! Lol

[@surfside75]

What a score.👍

[@kontrakgaming4107]

Mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn you lllluuccckkkkyyyyy son of a GUNNNNNNNN🫨 wicked rig man!!!

[@SketchRC-]

Thanks!

[@barrycartwright8400]

I wish i could afford to buy one of these but in the end i bought a Rovan 5T for £500 😆

[@SketchRC-]

Nothing wrong with that!

[@johannesb.1658]

Nice car bro 😂

[@ZooRatedProductions]

I just picked up a clean 5t 2.0 for $650

[@SketchRC-]

Nice!! Now that's a robbery! Lol

[@brianwills4398]

I used to start mine the same way, hand on top of the head. Until one day my plug boot had a tiny Crack in it, That thing shocked the shiz out me 😅

[@barbedwirerat661]

Wow that deal worked out very well for you. Nice to add something you have wanted to your collection, perhaps sooner than thought possible, at such a great price and in such good condition. Enjoy! You definitely saw the opportunity and jumped on it.

[@JamieFox-x4m]

25:1 is way to much oil for these engines you can run 50:1with using amsoil with no issues and way better for these engines ive checked after running and still plenty of oil.

[@SketchRC-]

After finishing the break in, I went to 32:1.

[@boduke9428]

I've always ran 50:1 in my Banshee's after breaking them in on a couple tanks of 32:1. Love the smell of Castor 927 and leaded gas. I'd think the smaller engines would be the same. I always ran the same gas in my trimmers and saws before I went electric. It worked great in them also.

[@jagergerg9771]

Great deal, why not just write him and ask what those pieces are?

[@appleslider999]

🤩🤩🤩👍👍🥳🥳🥳🇹🇭✅

[@SebastianLong]

You didnt buy that for $800. You STOLE that for $800. The engine alone is $340.

[@alantaylor353]

Not starting it, not buying it.! 😉

[@SketchRC-]

At 800 I didn't care

[@INSIDIOUS-ONE]

True but, That things worth $800 even if the motor is roached! You're a fool if you wouldn't buy that! Look at it,it's brand new! Wonder how many good deals you missed out on? Lol.

[@alantaylor353]

@@INSIDIOUS-ONE yeah, that makes a lot of sense.!! 👍 👍 👍

[@G35Jeesh]

These seem extremely slow lol

[@SketchRC-]

Typically, break-in is slow if you doing it right.
