Yea it boogies a lot better when it gets up on the pipe now. Love it the the 2 stroke hits that power band and blasts off. Reminds me of my RM 125 back .....way back 80s. haha awesome truck!
Just discovered ur channel recently having owmned 1/5 scale,more into nitro(few electric also)the way 5t handles those jumps like butter and u clearly got a bargain when purchased,happy days😊
The drivetrain for the 5ive T is far stronger than necessary for the stock engine. 46GT is a perfect engine swap for it. Not too powerful but quite powerful for its size.
Nice job on the upgrades. I have to agree with you probably one of my favorite RC's of all time not to be an Internet tuner, but it sounds like your just a touch on the lean side but hard to say without hearing in person.
So, I am about to pull the trigger on one of these. Did you enjoy it in its stock form? My neighbors are used to all of my nitros, I just want to know if it performed good and it’s stock form and wondering if it’s a lot louder than my nitrous.
It was great in stock form. Pipe wakes it up alot and I was perfectly fine with it then. And a silenced pipe isn't much louder than stock. Really that's the only mod it needs, leave the air filter stock as it protects better and doesn't make any noticeable improvements. And as for comparison to nitro. It's deeper pitched. Not as whiney but still louder. But if they're used to nitros and are cool. This shouldn't bother at all. You won't regret it, and for a couple bucks you can upgrade the cutch spring to higher rpm engagement which makes it more peppy. But hands down stock was fine. I just can't stop messing with things lol.
I agree with ya. You can't beat the torque and power of electric. And bashing anywhere without drawing attention haha. But there is something about running these 2strokes in person.
Losi impresses me with every model I get by them. They kinda keep quiet compared to other brands and let their RCs speak for themselves. I'm sure it's just getting an update and will re-release soon....hopefully.
Maybe to you, but I'll trust my experience with 2 strokes and Doug Johns the owner of ESP performance on that. He actually recommends 20:1 no less than 25:1.
The on board footage is real cool on that RC. It is just way cooler when you get to hear the two-stroke rippin’ along!!
I thought so too! Singing away!
Maybe the best RC video I've ever seen. Show us some more of this beast I could literally watch 2 hours of it running like that!
Lol I will soon. Got my new body just waiting on some decals and then I'm gonna make another vid with it. Thanks!
Those upgrades made a huge difference!!! For sure!! It gets up to speed and sounds like it gets up to speed so much faster!!
Definitely! Mid range sings now 😆 Had I'd known that I would have done my acceleration test a bit different, but oh well. All just fun.

@@SketchRC- 👍
The 2 stroke bug is highly contagious!!!! 😂 been sick for a yr now myself 😂
Lol

Two strokin is awesome 👏🏻
Yes it is!

You're fine, it's possible. I didn't want to get too carried away with tuning and find myself in trouble lol.
Always remember 🧐Gas Has Soul😈❤️🔥🛐
Agree!
Normally with changing the pipe on anything 2 stroke entails some minor rejetting of the carb
👍👍😎😎👍👍

@ I appreciate the response, bud! That’s exactly what I wanted to know! Thanks bud
No problem man!
22 pinion it's even better
I like the electric, they are quite and fast.

@@SketchRC- Thanks for the reply. Keep up the good work!
👍
Thanks!
I never had any luck with outerwear.
I'm currently building this ESP kit and wow, not sure if it was new filter or stock as well but it let in wayyyy to much dirt in the head.
@@SketchRC- i always ran k&n filters on my off road stuff.. but on that it needs a good 2 stage filter if they even make any
@@SketchRC- and as dusty as it is you have to clean that filter every outing for sure
I ❤ Losi, but they discontinued my favorite the Baja Rey 1/10.
Thinking of never buying losi again after that😢
Losi impresses me with every model I get by them. They kinda keep quiet compared to other brands and let their RCs speak for themselves. I'm sure it's just getting an update and will re-release soon....hopefully.
Try going up a scale, to the super baja rey, I got a super rock rey, they're sweet! Or 5t and don't look back!
@SketchRC- that re-release shares only some parts, like the chassis and upper deck, axle maybe.. The new Baja Rey 2.0 is Not the same.
They really need a 2 speed
The electric version does 50 mph in tall grass on 8S....
I bet! That's what my dbxl, kraton, and other 5th scale rcs are for. I enjoy this being 2 stroke. Not trying to make it like all the others.
I remebr you saying on the vid of you getting the car and you said 24:1 for the gas which is insanely heavy on oil and completely unnecessary
Maybe to you, but I'll trust my experience with 2 strokes and Doug Johns the owner of ESP performance on that. He actually recommends 20:1 no less than 25:1.
You think that's fun try a 2 stroke rc boat
That sounds wild lol
