Frank,
One question regarding putting the sr driveline on the new elite. When running the axles I know you can use either aluminum or steel bones but what about the rear axle. Should you run the regular sr axle or the new rear axle. Concerned about running the new hubs and having the correct parts to fit.
Thanks,

So is this the major difference between the 5.0 and the 5.0elite minus the carbon fiber, titanium, and other goodies? Looks like the caster block is a bit different to accommodate front sway bar. Was talking to a fellow racer today and he was telling me the steering geometry on the elite is different than the 5.0 (havent read anything to make me believe that). Appears to me the major difference is all in the rear with these parts.
1. VHA rear hub setup. TLR334069
2. Adjustable Inner rear pivots TLR334062
3. G3 3.5mm Shock Shaft setup. TLR333004
All 3 can be converted using the part numbers as above.
Then, it comes with all the goodies, carbon parts, aluminum parts, etc.

Ho-B-RC Park in Northgate mall in Durham, NC.
We just recently converted it from onroad carpet to carpet offroad. There's been some great racing there the last few weeks. I just need to get some more trigger time to be competitive.
Best part - it's air conditioned!!!

You need to use the new rear axles, the SR axles will not fit. The rest is good to go.

Anyone else having issues with their Gen III shocks leaking? Mine weep a bit, but my son's are actually leaking big time. We built them the exact same way. We each have about three practice sessions on our 5.0 SR's.
He called Losi and the person he spoke with was let's say less then cheerful? He is going to send us a rebuild kit.
I read there is a rebuild or upgrade kit, and that the Elite kit comes with the 3.5 shafts sort like a retro fit. Wonder if anyone else has experienced the same or found a solution.

I picked up a 22 5.0 AC a few weeks ago. I haven’t run it yet, still building it, but so far I’m impressed with the initial quality. A few questions though, because I’ve been out the hobby for over a decade and never raced before. Because I plan on racing the stock class, my local shop recommended a direct drive (# TLR332043). But I don’t see one listed as an option in the back of the manual, unless I missed it. If it will work, what spur and pinion would you recommend as a starting point? I believe the direct drive came with a 69 and 75 spur. I’m going to use a Tekin 17.5 G3 Spec-R and Tekin recommends 4-5 teeth less on the pinion than normal on this motor.

xenon55,
I run the direct drive on carpet with several motors. For the r1 motor I run 69/29 while with a motiv or team powers I run 72/27 if that gives you a good starting point. Ive heard that the tekin gears lower but it should be based on the size of the track as well. Hope this helps.

The people running the carpet offroad program are doing a good job.

Will the 3 and 4 gear standup transmissions fit on the elite car?

Set up sheet for black carpet
Which set up sheet should we use for new, smooth black carpet? The track is medium/large usually with two small radius 180’s and the rest sweepers of various sizes.
