Found this on marketplace and made the deal! Lets found out if this Losi 5ive T 2.0 is legit or if I got screwed...Thanks for watching! Appreciate you all!
Man, you are going off LOL buying up all the best stuff! Again, you're purchasing RC's you can keep for decades. I looked into getting one of these two weeks and Horizon stated there won't be any ready until October of this year. My LBH is going to order a DBLXE, i transitioned careers and got a large salary increase, i gotta stay ahead of my wife so she can't bitch.
@@SketchRC- that's killer! When I drove my buddies, it was in the middle of nowhere in Nevada. You bring that out to the sand spot you hit with the mojave, I bet it would tear it up! Have fun!
Go no more than 1/2 throttle for 2 tanks, give it hr break between those 2 tanks and your golden. Heat cycles have probably been done if it's had a full tank through it already 👌, great buy too, welcome fellow 5ter
@SketchRC- what brand of kill switch did you go with if I might ask. I have found that the triton kill switches from primal rc are great to use. I have half a dozen of the dynamite brand ones and have had too many fail on me. I have done a couple of videos on them. "LNS-KUSTOMS " on youtube is my channel.
I would take that deal in a heartbeat. Even if the motor was toast. First thing I'd do is order the conversion kit and spend all that money i saved on a Max 4 650kv combo. Those trucks are crazy on 12s. I'll run across mine one day.
Dont electric convert it. The gas engine will run 3 hours with a 2s 5000mah lipo. Mine has a pipe and a velocity stack. I run mine on a 7200 mah Killer RC lipo. 3 sessions of 45 minutes (timer on my transmitter) and after 45 minutes it has 1/4 tank left. After the 3 sessions my lipo typically reads 3.9 volts per cell. On an electric conversion, you'll get max 15 minutes.
That's soooo awesome you got a smoken deal bro you are a lucky man I want they just cost so much and I have a kraton 8s exb and a xmaxx so do I really need one 😉 I do...lol
Wow that deal worked out very well for you. Nice to add something you have wanted to your collection, perhaps sooner than thought possible, at such a great price and in such good condition. Enjoy! You definitely saw the opportunity and jumped on it.
25:1 is way to much oil for these engines you can run 50:1with using amsoil with no issues and way better for these engines ive checked after running and still plenty of oil.
I've always ran 50:1 in my Banshee's after breaking them in on a couple tanks of 32:1. Love the smell of Castor 927 and leaded gas. I'd think the smaller engines would be the same. I always ran the same gas in my trimmers and saws before I went electric. It worked great in them also.
$800?!?!? Wow bro, what a steal!!

Lol I couldn't pass this one up!! Been years I've wanted one and like you had a career change and thankfully can afford things like this now.
Congrats on the find, she sounded great. Can't wait to see it in action!
Just ran it full throttle...unbelievable!

Its with all 2 strokes choke until fires once choke off or 2 pulls with choke on then off
Oh yeah, I owned lots of 2 strokes.
The black midplate is for the easy start pull cord. Would also be putting a remote kill switch on it. Runaways are a real thing and not fun.
Thanks, I installed one and glad I did. Throttle servo failed WOT. Click of the button and she was coasting to a stop!

Exactly! Why I didn't even care that he didn't start it. But it turned out nothing was even wrong with it!! Honest man!

She's staying Gas! So awesome having a 2 stroke RC.

You do! Lol, exactly how I was. I would never pay retail for it, but I had to jump when I saw it listed. So glad I did.
I just picked up a clean 5t 2.0 for $650
Nice!! Now that's a robbery! Lol
I got mine for $700 used with spare new aluminum wheels and car looked hardly even used and engine cranks in the first 2pulls 😊
That's awesome! The deals are out there!
Wow that deal worked out very well for you. Nice to add something you have wanted to your collection, perhaps sooner than thought possible, at such a great price and in such good condition. Enjoy! You definitely saw the opportunity and jumped on it.
You could EASILY sell that for like 1500 right now. Its brand spanking new.
I could never!! Lol
What a score.👍
I used to start mine the same way, hand on top of the head. Until one day my plug boot had a tiny Crack in it, That thing shocked the shiz out me 😅
Great deal, why not just write him and ask what those pieces are?
🤩🤩🤩👍👍🥳🥳🥳🇹🇭✅
Not starting it, not buying it.! 😉
At 800 I didn't care
People buy new cars, then think "i better buy spare parts just in case"... and never use any of them... Do NOT ask how I know this ....
25:1 is way to much oil for these engines you can run 50:1with using amsoil with no issues and way better for these engines ive checked after running and still plenty of oil.
After finishing the break in, I went to 32:1.

You didnt buy that for $800.
You STOLE that for $800.
The engine alone is $340.
These seem extremely slow lol
Typically, break-in is slow if you doing it right.
