HorizonHobby.com How-To - Service Your Losi 5IVE-T Shocks

[@stoves92]

This is good to know. I've read that you have to take the shocks apart right out of the box because the screw holding the piston on the shaft come loose from the factory. You have to put loctite on the screw.

Thank you for this video, I'm getting a 5t tomorrow so I will be looking at your vids :-D.

[@crust.mp3]

good video very imformatives i just got the orange spring and considering to use 35 shocks oil . i'm a bashher and my original shocks are done with . thanks for the video very useful

[@horizonhobby]

@RCbuilder247 Yes, 30WT all-around. However you can always experiment with different dampening front and rear to change the handling characteristics. I typically run 2.5-5wt heavier front than rear.

[@Hewey19]

Those shocks seem so huge especialy since I spent about an hour last night rebuilding shocks for my Mini-T.

[@bugzz2901]

Nice info.. in the video you identify a tip about cutting a notch, but it skips, rather than showing where you would actually cut, can you explain?

[@impalaSC]

Very informative video. Thank you guys!

[@RCbuilder247]

Nice Job Gary! Shock rebuilding isnt easy for me. But you have helped me alot on rebuilding them. Those shocks are Huge, Do you use the same wt. for the front? Thanks for the vid.

[@17madracki17]

would tightening the cap while the shock is fully extended not give you full length preload ? I was unsure when I rebuilt my 5s shocks and have been trying different ways what's the info on the preload end of this thanks

[@mlhowle]

Nice job!!!! Enjoyed

[@oimate3]

Can you do a video on the 2.0 shocks?

[@modex20]

are they any different?

[@oimate3]

@@modex20 Yes. The 1.0 has bladders. The 2.0 doesn't. Has bleeder caps. Im quite new and havent had any experience with bleeder caps. Im sure I can figure it out but I wanna make sure I do it right

[@1growroom]

I cant find those bladders. Any idea what I could do ? Or do I have to upgrade to the 2.0 shock caps.? Any idea would be great thanks

[@FantsyPants]

what if my shock doesn't rebound all the way when compressed after re-filling? mine only come back out a little.

[@jairoaugustodeoliveira1161]

how many oil each shock can hold

[@horizonhobby]

The 5IVE-T shock bore is 24mm.

[@mitchputerbaugh1940]

Did losi change the the rebuild kit for the shocks? I noticed losi has 2 different shock kits.

[@Snowleopard_1256]

For the dbxle what shock shaft goes in front, the shorter one or the longer one?

[@alvinlyborgonia1728]

what is the length of the shocks in full extension and diameter of the springs and width of the rod ends ( a-arms end) in mm? thank you

[@MultiSniper70]

what tools do i need to upgrade the bore for the 26cc engine to a 29cc bore

[@hectorpinheiro]

What de density of the silicon fluid!?

[@aguilarsergio4323]

Nice

[@Finnamakeausername]

Would one 2.oz silicone oil be enough for all four shocks also?

[@horizonhobby]

No, you'll need more but that's why there's a 4oz bottle too. TLR74023 is the P/N

[@Tifosi02]

Horizon Hobby how many 4oz bottles for all 4 shocks?

[@Motorsblow471]

What is the millimeters in the shock big bore

[@wildman8601]

I don't understand why but I found shaved metal on the inside of my shocks what is that about

[@inspyre.design]

Yup me too!

[@gunachowdary6574]

can you do a video on how to clean it using water

[@horizonhobby]

No, because you do NOT want to use water to clean this! You'll want to use proper degreasers and cleaners, such as Dynamite Nitro Force or Magnum Force to clean the truck.

[@gunachowdary6574]

can i put degreaser on the engine

[@gunachowdary6574]

nothing happens to the electronics when i put degreaser on them

[@horizonhobby]

guna chowdary Yes you can use Magnum Force or Nitro Force on the engine. Regarding the electronics what are you needing to clean, just dirt and mud off of them? Use a firm bristled brush to clean those off.

[@Finnamakeausername]

What is the stock shock oil wt?

[@horizonhobby]

30wt

[@Motorsblow471]

Ok thanks

[@Dynamo55b]

Music is louder than the speech, makes listening to instruction difficult. Great video otherwise!

[@ma19921992]

Second

why don't you go ahead and go ahead and go ahead and go ahead and go ahead and remove that phrase from your vocabulary. It its really not necessary, the sentences work without it.
