Go get one and start wrenching then bud! There's plenty of cheap rollers on eBay if you look for them. Just saw one the other day 250 bucks for an all alluminum 1/5 scale (had to pass on it cus I like my shit to be able to flex)
This is the g-forza from grafil.. fits good on the buggy but I realized the cap pack was in the way so Ill have to relocate it. No holes in this either but Ive seen the mcd body also and it looks nice too.
@@geejayrc9401 yeah.. that is what the problem was here haha! Im sure you spotted that.. this was my body so I may cut out the guys body a little if I cant fit the cap pack somewhere else and have it be tidy.
@@HighVoltageRC3080 Haha it's just my perfectionism. I've built a few brushless 5iveB's, so i want them to look like they're meant to be brushless, not a conversion. So the body has to look the part
Haven't run a 30100.. that is honestly more power than you'll ever need in an RC. My vekta clocked 71mph with a 3080 running 12s. Its 55lbs with lipos rtr... could go up to 14 or 15s on it but I dont want to crash it at 80mph lol... The 70120 is a decent motor. I might buy another one for my new 5ive-t 2.0 build that is on the shelf waiting for me to have time haha!
The power and features. Its a very powerful system and very well made. Very high quality components. You can do a 12s setup with a flier esc and TP motor for much less and will still do quite well but it wont be as powerful as the Lehner/MGM combo. I run the Flier esc in some of my basher rigs. They lack some features but still do good on power. My friend runs a Lehner motor with his Flier esc and it makes good power for the money. The motors are around $750 alone so you end up around 1k for a very powerful setup. Mgm 40063/Lehner 3080 combo will cost you around 1900 shipped.
Just ordered this esc motor combo for my losi dbxle 2.0. Replacing xlx2 that just went up in flames. What were your battery specs on this vid? What kind of mechanical brakes would you recommend for my setup? Thx
Losi makes a mechanical brake set for the dbxl-e. It fits the 2.0 but you have to dremel the brake discs to fit the larger diff outdrives on the 2.0 dbxl-e. Batteries on this one were turnigy HD 7s 5000mah 60c
Hi mate. I'm converting my 5iveT with the same MGM/Lehner system, and plan to run on 14S also. I see in the comments below you were using the Turnigy HD 7S 5000mah, how do they perform? I'm actually thinking I might drop the motor kv down to 750kv, and run 18/56 gearing on 14S. I too have the BRP 190's, and all RCMAX gearboxes/diffs as it was originally built for a big bore engine. My diff fluids are 300/1mil/500. What are your thoughts on that? any suggeststions would be really appreciated
This is David from Facebook btw... The batteries do ok just not very high mah so runtime isnt too long. 840-875kv is fine for 14s. Just gear down if needed. 750kv is ok also, I ran a 750kv 3080 in my 5ive-b and it was good but the higher kv does feel a little more snappy. I run 200k front, 1mil center, 60k or 100k rear generally. What you have should be fine though.
@@HighVoltageRC3080 Hahaha hi mate, didn't know this was you, and as you've probably guessed i'm Gee Jay on Facebook. I subbed anyway. I gues what i'm running will be fine, just concerened as i have no idea about these Lehner motors, mainly amps and heat, but i've never seen anyone running a Lehner motor with an external fan so that's a good thing. I bought 4 of the Turnigy packs, short runs don't worry me, i'll just buy more lol
Davesmotors.com sells the kit. You have to build it all from scratch. They're out of stock right now but will have more soon. I do custom builds for people if you need help with the build.
@@HighVoltageRC3080 Thanks for the reply! What servo tray & motor mount setup are you using? I just got my first Five-B (Christmas present to Myself..lol) Did you go with the MGM 40063-X2 pro or regular version? from what I've read the pro version just allows real time data monitoring & a 5-year warranty opposedd to the standard 3-year? is that the main differences? Would you recommend MGM? Cheers & Happy Holidays!!!
@@rcalchemy766 main difference is the warranty period. For normal use you won't really benefit from the extra features in my experience. You can use coupon code Garage5 for a little discount at mgm! This build was an rcmadness conversion kit. I've used tekno trays also. WFO is going to be making a nice mount soon that has a rear support ring for the motor.
@@HighVoltageRC3080 Thank you again for the quick reply. I'll probably go with standard 40063-X2. I've been speaking with CS the last few days. they seem to be quite helpful at MGM! I found a nice Triton X2LS-E5T Brushless conversion kit from RovanRC that was designed for the Five-T, which includes some really nice parts for the money, billet Rx box, all CNC motor mount & diff standoff, battery trays, etc. I actually have a couple Tekno trays on hand as well. My main concern was hopefully using the Motor mount from this kit & Diff Standoff for my Five-B build, I'll experiment with trays as needed. Check out the Triton kit on Rovan, pretty sweet! I'm definitely keeping an eye on the WFO mount when released! Looks Awesome! CHEERS
@@rcalchemy766 I've seen the triton kit and I'm not a fan of that one. My friend got one and there is not much room to adjust mesh, you also lose mechanical brakes I believe. The battery tray on that won't fit a 5ive-b either I think he said.
Something like this is in the $4500 range probably if I added it all up. The esc and motor are about $1700 and the biggest "chunk" of the cost. I logged 28hp which is insane.. you can still have fun for less money though.. Ive done some budget 12s builds using a $550 motor/esc combo and they are still pretty insane.
@@HighVoltageRC3080 yeah around what i expected. Very nice.. i might end up doing the kraken vetka 5. Gas. Build. I have 8 rc's.. thought was done..but 5th scales look fun too.
@@mikeinvegas1 5th scales are addicting... you've now been warned lol... I have 8 of them now.. and only two smaller rigs that I dont even run too often lol...
I recently bought a 2nd vekta because I got a good deal on it... I'm going gas on it... eventually will probably get a big bore ALX or RCMax engine for it.
Maybe, not for long if i was... the field isn't really long enough to hold it long if at all. I can always feel it accelerating still when i have to get on the brakes quick. That was a while ago and I've gone over 86mph on the setup now in a larger area.
@@HighVoltageRC3080 ok cool yea I just ordered same setup & 14s didn’t wanna run 14s if I wasn’t gonna be able to go full throttle….I watched another guy vid on 12s & it looks like when he gets on it his 5ivet spins out
@@treyvon8389 depends on the use.. badlands are more universal for different surfaces and have held up over 100mph for me so far. I run them on practically everything anymore... but in a grass field specifically the BRP'S do hook up very well.
If ur gonna make a video of a platinum rc vehicle do the professional thing and don't have the kid in it. Not trying to be a dick buuut I may be the only one who's honest about it because I'm sure others agree and of it means I'm the dick then so be it.

Sheesh bro, watching this again seems like your son wanted to race or see some carnage, lol.
Really nice video 14s that is nuts.
LOL YOUR KID MAN😂 @4:25 almost costed you a pretty penny. I swear he was trying. Be careful lol

How did you set up your mechanical brakes. Are you running a seperate battery for the servos?
Using a BEC to power the servos/ receiver. For the brakes i just used the mixing in my futaba radio.
I am coming for ya man. I was hoping you hit 80. Very nice build man. I really need a 5b roller
How many teeth you running on your pinion? I’m running 20but I thinks it’s getting hot… sweet truck by the way
This one was 18t pinion with a 54t spur
