Great stuff Brother Dennis 🤗. That 30° North is an absolute monster!!! Awesome mods and customizing my friend. The channel bracing will definitely help fortify the chassis along with the upper rods 💪. This vid is perfect for guys looking into a true 1/5th. Appreciate the shout out Brother. Can't wait to see this Beast getting down 😱🚀🚀

[@3SonsRC]

Appreciate that my friend! Yeah she is a beast... Think I will be running er a LOT! I definitely enjoyed creating something different yet useful hopefully and I appreciate the recommendations there Rich👍👍 See ya round my friend

[@3SonsRC]

What's up bud.... Enjoying the channel I see. Lots of bashing and different type of stuff I enjoy doing, see ya round

[@AldoLoyal]

Yep that was a long one brother but I watched every second of it right down to where you were playing with your nuts.😱🤣 Awesome video nobody should have a doubt when it comes to the electric conversion anymore. Finally somebody put out a video on it now we just need to see you bash that joker, thanks for sharing man Thanks for the shout out as well

[@3SonsRC]

Thanks my friend, And I really appreciate that you watched all of it considering the length AND it's not really an RC you have etc. Hopefully this will help some Dudes and that's really the point. See ya round brother

[@bigtrev71]

WOW, I just came across your video, and subscribed. I just ordered the 30 Degree buggie roller, and want to convert it to electric as well. Thanks for this.

[@3SonsRC]

Np brother glad you enjoyed. Keep in mind the 30 degree N buggy is not a direct Losi 5ive B Clone, I think the center diff setup is different maybe more? .... Rovan makes a direct copy one. Much will be the same though and maybe some of my video will help. Also Thunder RC did an electric conversion on the 30N buggy and talked about it in his videos.... Not detailed like I do but have a look. Hope your enjoying the channel, thanks for the Sub See ya round brother

[@bigtrev71]

@@3SonsRC thanks brother. I seen ThunderRCs vid to. Will definitely look more into it for sure. Appreciate it.

[@stephanez8036]

i can't wait to see that thing being bashed ! thanks for the shout out, i'm glad to see you stepping in the 1/5th

[@3SonsRC]

Only did a shakedown run and kept breaking the pinion loose when I tapped the break because the mesh was too loose.... The slap. Of the big gears loosed it.... But I made some dremel adjustments and not I can do 21 and 20t pinions....the one I have is 21.....lobed the torque..... Might get er out tomorrow If I have time.

[@stephanez8036]

@@3SonsRC red loctite on the pinion ! if the torque doesn't make it slip, the heat will ! on the motor' screws, i put blue loctite

[@3SonsRC]

@@stephanez8036 yes sir, had red on there.... The mesh was too loose because the motor mount was not allowing it to get close enough.... It's fixed now.... It was WAYYYY too loose so when going from forward and taping the break in the air or for slowing down it would just slap. This time I even drilled the shaft a bit where the Grub would sit💪 plus it proper close.... Like absolute no slop close! Even tighter than I run my 6s rigs but with these big gears they still spin perfect even when tight

[@stephanez8036]

@@3SonsRC oh ok, good work. i like those bigger gears too. going back on small 1/8th stuff feels weird ! they got such small screws !

[@rckiduk9439]

Cool build your going to have fun with that this summer 👍

[@3SonsRC]

Appreciate that little bro, Yeah this will be one I use a lot I think!

[@thunderrc]

Definitely an awesome build bro!💪⚡️⚡️⚡️🏆 I’d say the best looking North on the tube for sure! Awesome job with this Monster!!! Can’t wait to see you send it!🔥🔥🔥⚡️🏆🏆🏆

[@3SonsRC]

Oh bro there are some amazing builds out there.... Mine is not close, I just tried to do some different things in a clean way. Some Dudes put 2k in upgrades that may or may not be worth it, as you can see got some Vitavon for later😜 I really think the Vitavon Bulkheads will help. I should be able to get er out this week, mesh looks good now and this weekend was crazy. Appreciate ya my dear friend See ya round

[@Sheldinator]

adding those vitavons will be the death of that truck. remember, its not just the weight, its the energy from impacts that metal does not allow to flow through that kills things. plastic is a good conductor for impacts.

[@3SonsRC]

Agreed brother, in most places it's better to keep it plastic, But with bigger sends I might have Knuckle and Bulkhead issues with bad wrecks.... We will see but with the arms and Turnbuckle ends still being plastic that helps, with bad shock towers hits busting Bulkheads stripping out, I hate replacing Bulkheads and heard some issues with heat in stock Bulkheads? I will weigh them and see as I go but I don't disagree with your logic. Hope you enjoyed the video brother, see ya round

[@davidconaway2830]

I have the V1 as well and did many of the same mods, including the wheel spacers and wheels/tires. I purchased the Stupid RC conversion kit and had the same issues with the dual battery mount on the left side. There simply wasn't enough room for the inside battery without pressing up against the steering bellcrank and the pinion guard. I mounted Outcast 8s battery trays similar to the way you mounted your trays and was able to keep all of my mounting screws in the chassis. I couldn't believe how hard the 7075 is...even with brand new drill bits. I use the Max5 and 56113/800Kv combo and couldn't be happier with the power and speed. I look forward to more videos on your beast as well as future upgrades. Thanks for sharing!

[@3SonsRC]

Man really appreciate the time and efforts in the comment my friend. Just gut a DBXLE as well, second hand, will be my winter project. That's cool we have similar setups, in my test tuns has gobs of power especially on the pinion I'm running 🔥🔥🏃🏃. Just added some much needed big boy fans for keep motor and esc cool.....your right this 7075 chassis is so tough... And even tougher with the mods I added. Definitely more to come with this beast! Glad your enjoying the channel, see ya round brother

[@arakainer]

Yes, we want bash video

[@3SonsRC]

For sure buddy, been raining almost non stop for almost a week here😔 Hope to have one out by Mid Next Month🎯.... Even after I shoot it I spend a lot of time Editing to my standards. Appreciate your time and comment, hope your enjoying the channel, see ya round

[@allscalerc]

I think I now see a 30 Degree North Electric Conversion now in my future! Very well done thank you. I just subscribed to your channel. ❤❤👍👍👍👍

[@3SonsRC]

Glad I could help in that decision, there truly the best value in RC with that Roller off fearless RC.... Keep in mind the one they sell now is the 2.0....i used the 1.0 here. Appreciate your time and Sub my man, see ya round

[@TurbotoTaLL]

Very nice clean budget friendly build! The center chassis brace cf tubes, can you point me to parts to these, so i can build it myself?

[@3SonsRC]

Appreciate the kind words buddy, Got them from Jenny's RC site, I'm pretty sure there the Outcast 8s Ones not the Kraton ones.... There the red center braces.

[@rcmachinery1]

C channel bros, best RC use. Great build!

[@3SonsRC]

Appreciate the kind support there brother, yeah man them C Channel pieces can be used for so many things. The three I bolted to the chassis have held perfect.... I know this chassis is really hard to bend anyway.... So with the c channel braces and Arrma 8s upper Braces and aftermarket Aluminum replaced top plate and chassis braces she should be G2G. I have taken some of these mods over to my current Losi Dbxle 2.0 build... It's my winter project Appreciate your time brother

[@MRBRUSHLESS]

Awesome video my man!! It’s definitely good to see a lot guys getting in to the 5th scales scene!! For us guys that have into 5th scales brushless for years we appreciate the support .. very nice budget build on the 5ive T good way to keep the price down on those budget parts from Vitavon too !! Great job thumbs up 👍

[@3SonsRC]

Thanks brother.... Yeah been a Arrma "5th" scale and 1/8th scale just send it guy for a while.... Learning to appreciate these Really True 5th scale monsters....but she won't be staying in the grass, seems to handle really well but she will eventually go🚀🚀😜 Just put this together to hopefully help the community🎯👍 Budget Vitavon Parts🤣😂 See ya round brother

If you gotta slum on parts Vitovon is will work until you can afford a premium brand. Personally I run Rolex and Ferrari parts exclusively on my budget builds.

Awesome video bro. We love all of your Videos and upgrades. When we saw your Video we buy also an 30°North V2. From Vitavon we buy the Motormpunt, Servomount and Batterymoznt. We have a 12s from ZTW and install that with Leopard 530kV Motor. We want drive that with 12s. Love you from Germany :-)

[@3SonsRC]

Brother this comment made my day😍😍 So happy that you are enjoying the channel over in Germany and that you have gone with some of my modest recommendations👍 30 Degree N/Losi 5ive T is a beast, and those Vitavon Upgrades are INSANE quality... Can't go wrong. Appreciate the kind support and so glad I have subscribers in Germany.... Tell your friends 🎯🇩🇪 just made me so happy brother! #Losi5ive #TeamVitavon 💪💪

[@tacky187]

Just got my V2 kit and converted it to brushless and I love it! I definitely want better tires but the link in your description doesn't work anymore; it just goes to the homepage. Can you link to the tires?

[@3SonsRC]

Cool brother, You can still use the link, just navigate to the rires and you should be good, code in Description 3sonsrc ... Let me known

[@thatsmyrc]

So I now have 2 of these v2 trucks both set up the same. DGI spacers method belted wheels. The stock servos say rated at 70kg yet not feeling like I’m getting total response of truck in grass etc. guessing it’s the width of belted tires? How’s yours snap around w/ your 65kg servo? I was thinking about going with a Agrc as there’s really no between I. Price of what’s on there and $275. I’ve had agrc servos before on my raminator that’s why I was leaning towards them

[@3SonsRC]

Bro if you get that servo it is an absolute Beast I'm not so sure that there's any better servos out there than the one you're talking about pro-modeler does make some awesome big servos but I'm not even sure if they make them big enough to fit in a true 1/5 scale. A couple other things that you can check to see if you're getting the correct steering response is number one the servo saver make sure that it is tight enough and not to lose the others would be your gifts if the diff fluid is too thick it could affect steering response and even shock fluids can affect it a little bit if you've upped the shock fluid I kept mine stock good luck brother sorry for the run-on sentence I'm driving in my car and just talking to my phone

[@thatsmyrc]

did you cut your battery tray in two for the separate locations? I can only find vitavon battery trays that are separate? I got my V3 30 degree north and did order up the Losi for summer. Ive got the g2 800kv hobby wing combo for the 30 degree

[@3SonsRC]

Na bro it's the stupid RC one you can get them seperate. You might have to message them through Ebay that's what I did.... Remember this is a v1 truck. Appreciate your rime brother, hope your enjoying the channel, see ya round

[@CarRamRod84]

Great video. Just got a 30 degree north 2.0 roller. I’m putting my original dBXLE motor and ESC in it. What Spur gear did you end up using?

[@3SonsRC]

22t I think, bigger than I wanted but with this mount I couldn't get closer on the 1.0 I will use some hyperflow fans should be good Appreciate the kind support brother.... See ya round

[@cjchannel12RC]

Great and informative video, I'm looking into buying a 30 north V2 truck or a real Losi 5T 2.0 and eventually convert it to electric with either a Max 5 G2\800 or 650KV combo or a Max 4\560KV combo using a stupidRC conversion kit. I want to know which conversion kit would work with the 30DNT V2 roller or RTR. If anyone can help i would greatly appreciate it.

[@3SonsRC]

What's up brother, appreciate the kind support. Vitavon has a kit that works with the v2.... I'd get that one, not cheap but it's the best for v2😎👍 See ya round brother

[@thatsmyrc]

Awesome build with the perfect info Im needing as I too am going to start building a V2 intro brushless. So when I go with the stupid rc kit do I look for the kit for the Losi v1 or v2 (Kit) What tires you rocking. Thank you so much as this is my first dive into 30 degree and this info is extremely helpful..

[@thatsmyrc]

never mind on tire info you gave that as well towards end of video. I was so excited about the video and info I jumped the gun and asked before finishing vid. Im all kinds of excited lol. Thanks again

[@3SonsRC]

Mine is a v1 truck, so you want to message whoever the seller is on Ebay to make sure it's compatible or it says v1.... I messaged Stupid RC directly ... Thats if you have a v1 truck. Those are Method RC Tires link in the description with discount. There awesome! Good luck brother glad you enjoyed and got something from the vid See ya round brother

[@thatsmyrc]

Hey buddy I’m back again to take in some more of your experiences with/ this rig. What battery brand and size mih? You run 8s correct, is there any reason for 12s or have you ran this on it. I have the max5 g2 800kv build going on w/ aluminum inner diff cups on 1mil center 500k drive diff oil. Vitavon motor mount center diff carrier kit and battery trays. Ran the loss out of stock gasser box stock and it lasted to gas tanks and pissed off a bunch of Karen’s around town doing so lol. So I went with this one an electric 2nd one is shelved as new until I decide what to do with it. 👍🏼. I post vids again as soon as I get around to thinking it’s helpful as your vids are very helpful 👍🏼 thanks again

[@3SonsRC]

Glad you enjoyed brother. My favorite batteries fir this are the 9500mah CNHL but there a bit heavy, the new 8600mah(??) 120c are way lighter and plenty of run time.

[@thejeepinrealtor5742]

Got a link for the conversion kit you used? Searching for the stupid rc one like yours and not finding it. Thanks!!

[@3SonsRC]

Search it on ebay, "Losi 5ive conversation kit"

[@Victic005]

They need to get rid of that angle shaft that goes from the center death to the front diff. You can relocate the center diff and use the short shaft for the rear and the longer shaft on the front.

[@3SonsRC]

Agreed, they did change this with the Losi 5ive 2.0 and 30 degree N has one like this too.... It's not ideal.... But I got a great deal on a 1.0 roller from fearless RC Appreciate your time and comment brother, hope your enjoying the channel, see ya round

[@Victic005]

@3 Sons RC that didn't changed much. It's still too much of an angle. The kraken vekta has a lot less.

[@3SonsRC]

@@Victic005 I honestly haven't really heard of it being an issue even with the 1.0 cars, but I'm newer to true 1/5th scale, I would think it is an issue, but just haven't heard that. 🤔🤔 But must be some issue as why would they have tried to change it

[@Victic005]

@3 Sons RC so the cups don't wear out quickly? I find that hard to believe. the angled shaft has always been Losi thing. They will wear the cups and shaft pin prematurely and power loss too. I wouldn't want to get into something that's poorly designed from the start, then act surprise when parts wear out.

[@3SonsRC]

@@Victic005 not from what I have heard.... I have only run mine once and most dudes say eventually you can get upgraded ones if they do wear out but that the cheapest option is.to.just replace with stock. Plenty of other RC have angles... Some race buggies as well, my Corally XTR has it and been fine.... I don't think it effects things as much as you would think
