Click to Subscribe! ► http://bit.ly/JOovvU - A NEW KiT can be an amazing project to undertake, and the Losi 5ive B Race Kit is certainly an exciting revelation in the radio control hobby world. come along with two friends as they finish up this fun buggy! Today, we take the center differential, the rear assembly, the suspension and drive line.

*As a SiDE NOTE* - for all the folks debating our use of the term "Micrometer" while using digital calipers - here is the definition straight from good old Wikipedia:

"A micrometer sometimes known as a micrometer screw gauge, is a device incorporating a calibrated screw widely used for precise measurement of components in mechanical engineering and machining as well as most mechanical trades, such as dial, vernier, and digital calipers. *Micrometers are usually, but not always, in the form of calipers (opposing ends joined by a frame), which is why micrometer caliper is another common name.* (Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micrometer)

A lot of folks ask me about the products I use in my films.. so I have taken the liberty of leaving some information from the manufacturers website below, to better help assist in getting the reader the information quickly.

From the website:

"Like the championship-winning 8IGHT™ platform on which it is based, the big 5IVE-B™ buggy has been engineered for one thing – winning races. No mere RTR conversion, it is a purpose-designed racing kit that you equip with the engine and electronics of your choice.

FEATURES:

PURPOSE-BUILT RACING CHASSIS

Unlike most so-called 1/5-scale racing buggies, this one comes with a chassis specifically engineered for competition. Inspired by the legendary TLR® 8IGHT™ platform, it is machined from hard-anodized, 5mm 6061-T6 aluminum and features a shorter wheel base for better handling. It also has milled pockets that save weight and allow enough flex for maximum traction under hard acceleration.

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.

DUAL-STEERING-SERVO RADIO TRAY

The radio tray can accommodate the most powerful 1/5-scale servos available. The Spektrum(tm) line of 1/5-scale servos (sold separately) are great choices. Their patent-pending Back EMF technology prevents servo fade and maintains maximum holding power for the duration of a receiver pack.


RACING BODY AND WING

The cab-forward body and wing are inspired by those used on 1/8-scale racing buggies. The distinctive shape of the body moves aerodynamic pressure further forward on the car, which improves steering at speed. The wing has a removable wicker bill for adjusting rear downforce.

The hard anodized, 24mm shocks include bleeder caps that make them easier to build without sacrificing performance. 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.
