Awesome build mate, big thumbs up well done

You might want some MadMax giant grip wheels or maybe the uber rc tyres with all that power.

Fitted a ADI Steering rack today, I was going to fit the Losi 2.0 version, but it wouldn’t work with my battery tray

I’ve not run this for a few months because of the terrible weather we have over winter in the UK, but since my last update I’ve changed the gearing to 18/56 to run 10s, I’ve heard too many horror stories of the ZTW 70120 having rotor failure on 12s.... I’ve went with the Vertigo RC Spur gear set up and I’ve also painted up a new body, the wheels are the same but with different beadlock rings....

Y’all got me wanting to build a 5ive B now!! At this point I don’t even care that it’s not really being made anymore as a kit, because the aftermarket is still booming.

Alright, help me out. Who still has 5ive B kits for sale?? I neeeeeds me one, lol.

AJ...I emailed DDM to see what they have. The website says “Out of Stock” so who knows if they still have some or maybe they’re all gone.

They'll get more in. I bought my most recent one from them about six months ago. They were out of stock for a couple of weeks and got more.
If they were completely discontinued i'm sure DDM would mention it on Facebook among other places

Yep that's correct. They struck a deal with Losi to keep it alive, and they're the only place that sells them

Gavsta and AJ...Yuuuuup!!! Talked to Steve at DDM and be confirmed what you bros are saying. He said they should be getting more in April, so that’ll give me time to pick electronics and such.
