The 5IVE-TE 3.0 is built around one astonishing centrepiece, the new 12S Spektrum power system. This is the most powerful factory-installed system Spektrum has ever created for a surface vehicle. The massive 560Kv 70120 brushless motor combines with a purpose-built 250-amp Smart ESC to deliver blistering 50+ mph speeds on 12S LiPo power. Dual 40mm fans cool the motor and an aluminium heatsink manage the incredible 50.4 volts of raw power. For a more comfortable experience, simply run 8S batteries for thrilling 35+ mph performance.
The 5IVE-TE 3.0 rides on visually striking, officially licensed KMC KM549 wheels that showcase modern, scale-correct proportions. 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 entyre 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 that 12S power and aggressive driving deliver, Losi engineered an entyrely new body design. Unlike traditional polycarbonate bodies, the 5IVE-TE 3.0 features injection-moulded 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.
An all-new easy-access centre differential mount simplifies maintenance. Spektrum's new metal-top large-scale servo delivers an astounding 1,000 oz/in 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. Its throttle limiting function allows novice drivers to restrict the top speed to 50% or 75% until they're ready to experience the 5IVE-TE 3.0's full potential. When using Smart batteries, 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 SR6200A DSMR receiver includes AVC (Active Vehicle Control) technology to increase stability on challenging terrain, while Smart Technology compatibility provides real-time telemetry data.
The Losi 5IVE-TE 3.0 is ready to dominate right out of the box. Add your choice of 8S or 12S battery packs, pick a compatible charger, and prepare to experience the largest, fastest, and most powerful 5IVE-T to date.

The Losi 5IVE-TE 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-TE 3.0 builds on this DNA with the first-ever purpose-built electric 5IVE-T platform.

The 5IVE-TE 3.0 has an all-new, straightened centre drivetrain to optimize strength and efficiency. The straightened drivetrain is a proven design that eliminates compound angles within the drivetrain, significantly improving driveshaft durability.

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.

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.

A new easy-access centre diff mount simplifies the removal and maintenance of the centre differential. The new design allows access to the centre differential by unbloting 6 screws and removing the top plate assembly.

Optimizing gearing on the 5IVE-TE 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-TE 3.0 now comes with a new 43/12 ring and pinion gear, and 67t spur to get this beast of a truck moving.

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-TE 3.0 features officially licensed KMC KM549 Wheels with Pro-Line Pro-Loc technology.

The Losi 5IVE-TE 3.0's massive size and power mean that the body shell takes a serious beating during aggressive driving and rollovers. The new injection-moulded body panels flex and absorb impacts, making them highly durable. The injection-moulded bodies also maintain a uniform thickness, increasing their strength by eliminating thin spots that can occur in a vacuum forming process.

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.

The Spektrum Firma 560kv 70120 motor is a high-power, large-scale sensorless brushless motor. The 70mm diameter and 120mm length is the largest motor Losi has ever put into a surface vehicle. This 12S-capable motor is intended for serious, high-performance applications like the 5IVE-TE 3.0.

This new 12S 250A ESC is the highest-powered offering to date from the Spektrum Firma lineup of ESCs. This ESC is designed for large-scale, high-power applications featuring Spektrum's SMART Technology.

Designed to handle extreme stress with superior performance in mind, the new SPMSS1000MT metal top servo is keeping the 5IVE-TE pointed in the right direction. The 1000 oz/in hi 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 throttle limiting function on the included Spektrum DX3 2.4GHz transmitter allows novice users to limit the truck's top speed to 50% or 75% of its full potential until they're ready to unleash its full potential. Using a Smart battery, you can monitor the available capacity on the transmitter's Smart battery level indicator.

50.4 volts of power means cooling is essential! The motor is encapsulated by an aluminium heat sink that mounts two high-volume fans to ensure the motor temperature stays in the optimum range.
