FAQ

How fast is the Losi 5IVE-TE 3.0? Losi rates the 5IVE-TE 3.0 for speeds exceeding 50 mph (approximately 80km/h) on 12S LiPo power and 35 mph (approximately 56km/h) on 8S. Actual speeds depend on the batteries, terrain and vehicle conditions.

What batteries does the Losi 5IVE-TE 3.0 require? For 12S operation, the Losi 5IVE-TE 3.0 requires two compatible 6S LiPo batteries with IC5 connectors. For 8S operation, it requires two compatible 4S LiPo batteries with IC5 connectors. A suitable LiPo charger is also required. These are sold separately.

Is the Losi 5IVE-TE 3.0 ready to drive out of the box? The 5IVE-TE 3.0 is supplied assembled with the motor, ESC, steering servo, receiver and transmitter included. Customers must supply suitable vehicle batteries and a compatible charger before driving.

Can beginners drive the Losi 5IVE-TE 3.0? The included Spektrum DX3 Smart transmitter allows throttle output to be limited to 50% or 75%. However, the Losi 5IVE-TE 3.0 is a heavy, high-powered 1/5 scale truck. OZRC recommends experienced adult supervision, a large clear driving area and reduced throttle settings while learning its handling characteristics.
