yup its going to be.

That thing looks great! NIce and clean. Oh boy does it ever look like the 1.0 8T

In looking at the chassis layout more closely, one of the first upgrades I would make is a set of AL chassis braces. Wondering if the plastic ones will allow the chassis to flex to much. Also nice to see that Losi used LST size shocks as well. The suspension looks like it will be plush.

I would like one of these with a truggy or buggy body please!!

A truggy body would be nice for sure. Wonder how it would look with a wing on it...

+1
buggy for me

The battery tray compartment on Ben's 5ive is 80x180 - we already determined that we need to make it wider. It fits a pair of 4s packs standing up, but will fit them laying down on the update(not much cg difference, but wider tray opens more options).

Any chance a mount for Neu 22 series motors could be made?

awesome beast :D

flex on the losi chassis is a good thing for their 1/8's

flex=traction, it also absorbs impact :yipi:

ive been testing it at the local track and all i can say is WOW!. its geared about the same top speed as my gas truck and motor is running cold.
wish i could get someone to hold a camera !
every part of the track is easier with the brushless truck. and all the suspension changes i made to the gas truck to help it rotate are a non issue with the electric one. one blip of the throttle and it turns:-)

chassis flex? IDK yet. i broke a couple of rims landing hard but everything else is fine.

i think aluminum braces will change where the chassis flexes more than reduce the total flex.
LST size shocks ? me thinks they are MUCH larger than that lol

How are you going with the Deans connectors? Are they getting hot?

they didnt get hot BUT i was testing a NOS set of batterys that were sitting on mikes shelf for years. they never worked out. now i have 4s 8000 packs and they came with bullets on them so i switched over to all 6 MM bullets.
with the NOS packs i never drew more than 160 ish amps. also the spark from hooking them up was chewing the sith out of the deans fast.

driving around on the street ,some drifting a lot of full throttle.
hobby king 4s 8000 packs with 6MM bullets took 3000 mah to charge back up.
current limit was set at 175

Ditto...
What motor is that on there?...
