Losi five-t 2.0 big bore!!

[Crazybajabuild]

hey guys I’m playing with the idea of building a big bore Losi 5-t 2.0, I know it’s probably been done but my question is, will the drivetrain handle it? Also, will the big bore pipes fit under the stock cage?

depends what engine you go with, stock drive train might handle a 40cc but much more than that you'll need a fully upgraded driveline although i couldnt tell you what because i have no actual experience

You are going to need tires and rims. Stockers won’t take it. Other than that drivetrain will handle it.

It depends on the engine. I only have experience with Taylor big bores so can provide a bit of info on them. Regardless of which big bore, you will need alloy diff cups and diff housings/bulkheads to stop the flex which causes the gears to crunch and strip, along with the ModifiedRC centre diff mount and Blackbone spur/pinion

40, 46, 55 - driveshafts will be fine
50, 65 - driveshafts will cope for a while
71, 88 - forget about it

You can get IRC shafts/outdrives for the front and rear, but that leaves the centre. Most opt for the Taylor chassis so they can run it as the v1 centre driveline which can then be upgraded with the Phatdad shafts, and give you a much more reliable drivetrain for the bigger engines

I'm assuming this comes from years of experience with big bore engines?

No because like I said I have no actual experience, I’m just telling him what I know and also giving the disclaimer that I have no actual experience

In this case, it's just best to stay quiet.
