TLR 5ive-B 1/5th scale 4WD race buggy kit

Team Losi Racing have introduced their all-new 5ive-B 1/5th scale 4WD race buggy kit. Purpose-designed for competition use the buggy is inspired by TLR’s 8ight 1/8th scale buggy platform and it is based on a hard-anodised 5mm 6061-T6 short wheelbase aluminium chassis. Milled pockets make for optimised flex and the lowest possible weight. The suspension package uses hard anodised 24mm shock absorbers and heavy duty aluminium shock towers. The shocks also benefit from X-rings, shock boots and TiCN shock shafts for smooth, consistent performance. The shock towers offer multiple shock mounting options that give racers an abundance of tuning options for different track conditions. Adjustable toe and anti-squat plates allow to tune the suspension geometry as known from the smaller 1/8th buggies.

The steering of the 5ive-B offers a dual servo radio tray that can accommodate all of today’s large scale servos and the centre drivetrain uses a CNC machined aluminium clutch carrier and centre-differential case that add strength and durability as well as dissipate heat in the hour long main events. Part of the drivetrain are also heavy-duty brakes. Stamped-steel rotors, combined with the heavy duty plates and pads, provide a sense of confidence and control that let racers drive harder into the turns and come to a stop more quickly. Front-to-rear braking bias can also be fine-tuned for evolving track conditions. The kit is rounded out by a spark plug protector, a specially designed airfilter for 25cc to 32cc engines and it comes with a cab forward racing bodyshell and rear wing, the latter featuring a removable wicker bill. Also included is a set of racing ryes on one-piece rims but the kit comes without radio equipment, engine or exhaust.
