Losi Just announced the LOSI 5IVE-T! Bigger. Faster. Stronger. The 1/5-scale Losi® 5IVE-T™ 4WD Off-Road Racing Truck is the closest thing to a full-size vehicle in realism, performance and experience. It features a 4WD drivetrain based on the racing-winning, award winning 8IGHT platfrom, Spektrum™ telemetry receiver, installed sensors, and 1/4-scale servos. And since it’s a Bind-N-Drive™ vehicle, you complete it with the DSM® transmitter of your choice. There’s really nothing like driving an RC truck as big as this. Come take it for a spin in all its 4WD glory.
Losi announced today the release of their new 1/5 Scale 4WD Gas Powered BND Truck called the Losi 5IVE-T. Check out the Losi 5IVE-T forum here on RCLS for the latest information and exclusive videos and pictures of the Losi 5IVE-T.

Dpdsurf and I headed north early yesterday for some 1/5 scale racing at Liberty RC’s new 1/5 scale tracks in Petaluma, CA. The guys at Liberty RC Club did a great job getting the track ready for the first race of the 2011 season.

Check out pics and video from the second race in the RAMS 2011 race season of the HPI Baja 5b autocross class.
Turtle Racing has designed & manufactured this Pull Start to greatly reduce the problems starting your Zen/CY motors. We started with a very heavy duty rope, then we added a double sealed bearing to the Spool. The bearing helped tremendously, no more plastic on plastic friction. We then modified the aluminum spawl, polished it and Teflon Plated it. We designed the housing for proper venting while not allowing debris to enter.
I had a great time up at Thunder Valley last weekend attending their “King of California” race. I left late Friday night and stayed at a local hotel so I could get to the track early on Saturday to setup my live broadcasting gear so those who couldn’t make it could watch from home.
Check out the photos of our bash session at a private track in Brisbane, thanks to chino63 for taking most of these pics.
