Look what just arrived in Store! (MIllie for Scale) Losi 1/5 5IVE-TE 3.0 Electric 4WD Desert Truck RTR
The Losi 5IVE-TE 3.0 is ready to dominate right out of the box. Add your choice of 8S or 12S battery packs, pick a compatible charger, and prepare to experience the largest, fastest, and most powerful 5IVE-T to date.
The 5IVE-TE 3.0 is built around one astonishing centerpiece, the new 12S Spektrum power system. This is the most powerful factory-installed system Spektrum has ever created for a surface vehicle. The massive 560Kv 70120 brushless motor combines with a purpose-built 250-amp Smart ESC to deliver blistering 50+ mph speeds on 12S LiPo power. Dual 40mm fans cool the motor and an aluminum heatsink manage the incredible 50.4 volts of raw power. For a more comfortable experience, simply run 8S batteries for thrilling 35+ mph performance.

The 5IVE-TE 3.0 rides on visually striking, officially licensed KMC KM549 wheels that showcase modern, scale-correct proportions. Innovative Pro-Line Racing Pro-Loc bead lock system technology makes tire changes effortless and saves you money in the long term, as you only need to replace tires, not entire wheel-and-tire combinations. Wrapped around these wheels are massive 8.5-inch Pro-Line Mirage TT tires featuring an aggressive, realistic tread design with desert truck-style sidewall ribs for exceptional support and control across varied terrain.

To handle the punishment that 12S power and aggressive driving deliver, Losi engineered an entirely new body design. Unlike traditional polycarbonate bodies, the 5IVE-TE 3.0 features injection-molded polypropylene panels, which are the same ultra-durable material used on Losi's Promoto-MX and Sprint Car platforms. These six body panels flex to absorb impacts, maintain uniform thickness to eliminate weak spots, and make replacement far more manageable and affordable.

A longer wheelbase maintains the massive wheels, tires, and body in perfect visual proportion, while also dramatically improving straight-line stability at speed. The drivetrain enhances strength, efficiency, and driveshaft durability. Optimized gearing, featuring a new 43/12 ring and pinion with a 67-tooth spur, transforms how this beast accelerates and performs with its increased size and tire diameter.

The suspension receives equally impressive upgrades. New 32mm big-bore shocks handle significantly more oil volume for improved damping performance under the weight and forces of the larger platform. Tapered pistons increase pack while creating a more controlled, quicker rebound for superior traction. Redesigned front and rear suspension arms feature material added around shock mounting locations for uniform thickness and enhanced durability. Additionally, corrected shock geometry optimizes shock angles from the tower to the arm.

An all-new easy-access center differential mount simplifies maintenance. Spektrum's new metal-top large-scale servo delivers an astounding 1,000 oz/in of torque, keeping this massive truck pointed precisely where you want it. The metal top case keeps gears perfectly aligned while acting as a heatsink to draw heat away from the servo motor, enhancing both performance and longevity.
