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 tyre changes effortless and saves you money in the long term, as you only need to replace tyres, not entire wheel-and-tyre combinations. Wrapped around these wheels are massive 8.5-inch Pro-Line Mirage TT tyres 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, tyres, 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 tyre 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 72.01 kg/cm 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.
The Losi 5IVE-TG 3.0 is based on the DNA of the renowned 1/5-scale gas-powered 5IVE-T, which has become a benchmark in the large-scale RC community. Its design and engineering DNA are rooted in the company's successful 1/8-scale and short course platforms. The 5IVE-T 3.0 builds on this legendary heritage with significant upgrades while staying true to what made the original an icon.
The new Fujiwara FJ350RC Engine is the heart and soul of the 5IVE-T 3.0. Based on the legendary Zenoah G320, it features a larger bore that increases displacement to 35.2cc. Torque and power numbers are increased across the board, but the engine really shines in the low and midrange, showing the most significant gains. This powerplant delivers the thrilling gas performance that 5IVE-T enthusiast’s demand.
Designed to handle extreme stress with superior performance in mind, the new SPMSS1000MT metal top servo keeps the 5IVE-TG 3.0 pointed in the right direction. The 1000 oz/in high torque metal top servo is more than just your standard large-scale servo. The metal top case not only helps keep all the gears aligned but also acts as a heat sink, drawing heat away from the servo motor to enhance performance and durability.
The Losi 5IVE-TG 3.0's massive size and power mean that the body shell takes a serious beating during aggressive driving and rollovers. The new injection-molded body panels flex and absorb impacts, making them highly durable. The injection-molded bodies also maintain a uniform thickness, increasing their strength by eliminating thin spots that can occur in a vacuum forming process.
The 32mm Big Bore Shocks have a larger diameter than the original 5IVE-T shocks, allowing for more oil volume and improved damping. The new, larger Big Bore shocks increase the fluid volume by an incredible 78% over the original 5IVE-T shocks. The tapered piston design helps to increase the pack while creating a more controlled, faster rebound for improved overall traction.
A new easy-access center diff mount simplifies the removal and maintenance of the center diff. The new design allows access to the center diff by unbolting and removing the top plate assembly while keeping the brakes and linkage intact.
KMC is a globally recognized brand known for its stylish and rugged off-road wheels. Their innovative designs aim to be both visually appealing and highly functional. The 5IVE-TG 3.0 features officially licensed KMC KM549 Wheels with Pro-Line Pro-Loc technology.
Highly detailed scale Pro-Line Mirage TT tyre in a new, larger 8.5" size. The design utilizes proprietary Pro-Line Pro-Loc bead technology for secure tyre mounting.
New front and rear suspension arms feature added material around the lower shock mounting locations, providing uniform arm thickness for improved durability. Adjustments to the shock geometry correct the shock angles from the tower to the arm with the new, larger 32mm Big-Bore shocks.
Optimizing gearing on the 5IVE-TG 3.0 was a crucial part of the development process. The right gear ratio can significantly transform how the truck accelerates and performs, particularly when increasing the overall size of the truck and its tyres. The 5IVE-TG 3.0 now comes with a new 43/12 ring and pinion gear, and 67T spur to get this beast of a truck moving.
The included Spektrum DX3 2.4GHz transmitter provides reliable control with advanced features. Using a Smart battery for the receiver pack, you can monitor the available capacity on the transmitter's Smart battery level indicator, ensuring you always know when it's time to recharge.
The Spektrum SR615 DSMR receiver delivers reliable control and works seamlessly with the included DX3 transmitter. When paired with Smart batteries, it provides real-time telemetry data directly to the transmitter display.
