Losi® 5IVE-T 3.0 1/5 Scale 4WD Gas Powered RTR Desert Truck LOS05025

Losi 1/5 5IVE-TG 3.0 Gas 4WD Desert Truck Introduction

When Losi introduced the 5IVE-T in 2011, it revolutionized large-scale RC by giving enthusiasts what they didn't even know they wanted: a 4x4 large-scale truck built with the same legendary engineering DNA as the dominant 1/8-scale 8IGHT platform. Easy to work on, powerful, and proven, the 5IVE-T immediately set the benchmark for large-scale performance. Now, over a decade later, Losi raises that benchmark to unprecedented heights with the all-new 5IVE-TG 3.0.

The 5IVE-TG 3.0 is built around one awe-inspiring centerpiece: the new Fujiwara FJ350RC engine. Based on the legendary Zenoah G320, this 35.2cc powerplant features a larger bore that increases displacement and delivers impressive gains in torque and power across the board. The engine truly shines in the low and midrange, where the most noticeable improvements provide exhilarating acceleration and relentless pulling power. This is gas performance at its finest, honoring the heritage that made the 5IVE-T a legend in the large-scale community.

The 5IVE-TG 3.0 rides on visually striking, officially licensed KMC KM549 wheels that showcase modern, scale proportions. The innovative Pro-Line Racing Pro-Loc bead lock system technology makes tire changes effortless and saves you money in the long term, as you only need to replace tires, not entire wheel-and-tire combinations. Wrapped around these wheels are massive 8.5-inch Pro-Line Mirage TT tires featuring an aggressive, realistic tread design with desert truck-style sidewall ribs for exceptional support and control across varied terrain.

To handle the punishment the gas power and aggressive driving deliver, Losi engineered an entirely new body design. Unlike traditional polycarbonate bodies, the 5IVE-TG 3.0 features injection-molded polypropylene panels, which are the same ultra-durable material used on Losi's Promoto-MX and Sprint Car platforms. These six body panels flex to absorb impacts, maintain uniform thickness to eliminate weak spots, and make replacement far more manageable and affordable.

A longer wheelbase maintains the massive wheels, tires, and body in perfect visual proportion, while also dramatically improving straight-line stability at speed. The drivetrain enhances strength, efficiency, and driveshaft durability. Optimized gearing, featuring a new 43/12 ring and pinion with a 67-tooth spur, transforms how this beast accelerates and performs with its increased size and tire diameter.

The suspension receives equally impressive upgrades. New 32mm big-bore shocks handle significantly more oil volume for improved damping performance under the weight and forces of the larger platform. Tapered shock pistons increase pack while creating a more controlled, quicker rebound for superior traction. Redesigned front and rear suspension arms feature material added around shock mounting locations for uniform thickness and enhanced durability. Additionally, corrected shock geometry optimizes shock angles from the tower to the arm.

An all-new easy-access center differential mount simplifies maintenance. The new design allows access to the center differential by unbolting and removing the center top plate while keeping the brakes and linkage intact. Spektrum's new metal-top large-scale servo delivers an astounding 1,000 oz/in of torque, keeping this massive truck pointed precisely where you want it. The metal top case keeps gears perfectly aligned while acting as a heatsink to draw heat away from the servo motor, enhancing both performance and longevity.

The included Spektrum DX3 Smart transmitter meets the needs of both newcomers and experienced large-scale enthusiasts. The SR615 DSMR receiver provides reliable control and telemetry capabilities when paired with Spektrum Smart batteries. When using Smart batteries for the receiver pack, the transmitter's battery level indicator shows real-time capacity, so you'll always know when it's time to swap in a fresh pack.

The Losi 5IVE-TG 3.0 is ready to dominate right out of the box. Add fuel and 2-stroke oil, install your receiver battery pack, and prepare to experience the largest and most capable gas-powered 5IVE-T to date. The king has returned.
