Losi 5IVE-TE 3.0 Electric 4WD Desert Truck RTR

Stock is as the vehicle ships. Calculated is worked from the stock figures on this page rather than stored beside them, so the two cannot drift apart. The top speed is kinematic: an ideal no-load RPM with no slip and no loss under load, so a real car is slower. The maker advertises 50 mph, which is their own claim on their own conditions.

Gearing parts

Tooth counts are the ones in the specifications above. Pitch is given as metric module (Mod 1, Mod 0.8) or diametral pitch (32P, 48P). They are different standards and are not interchangeable, even where the numbers look close. Bore is the pinion’s hole, listed separately from the motor shaft (8 mm on the stock motor). Linked part numbers go to the maker's or official distributor's page for that part.

How these numbers were settled

The manual gives stock gearing as 67/17, and its parts list names the 17T Mod 1.5 pinion on an 8mm D shaft (LOS-3729) and the 67T MOD1.5 center diff spur (LOS-3681).

• Losi's spec table prints the same 17T and 67T with an internal ratio of 3.58 and a final drive of 14.12; the 43/12T ring and pinion (LOS-3655) gives 3.58, and 67/17 x 3.58 is 14.11.
• The 8.5 in tire size is Losi's own figure for the Pro-Line Mirage TT tires.
• Losi's 50+ mph claim is for 12S (35+ mph on 8S), and on a full 12S charge the stock gearing gives about 51 mph in theory.
• The manual lists stock diff fluids of 30,000 front, 500,000 center and 10,000 rear, and 40wt shock oil.
• The spec table and the manual print different width and height (538 vs 537 mm, 391 vs 390 mm), so those are left blank.
