I've been watching your channel for many years, and as you said, the 5th scale gas community is absolutely amazing nation wide. It's so much more fun and easy going than smaller scales from my experience. I've been racing everything from 1/10 and 1/8 offroad and onroad for about 25 years, and 5th scale is where it's at for pure fun. Competition is still there, no doubt, but everyone is so willing to help and share their setup. Sometimes, that's not always the case with the smaller stuff. I personally run Spektrum 5th scale servos and Bartolone pipes and engines. The Bartolone end bleed buggy pipe you showed is what I run on both my buggy and truck, and I have a stack of 1st place plaques to prove that they are excellent. I'm really looking forward to a lot more 5th scale content from your channel! Good luck and have fun!

I've had 5Ts for years. Cost wise, it isn't really that bad, a out of a box Losi 5T gas is about the same price as a moderate build 1/10th scale 4x4 clay track buggy, once you get to the electronics, wheels tires, etc. Around $1,200 or so. The tires are a little bit more expensive, but you don't have to change them as often. When you go brushless, just remember the drivetrain wasn't designed for that level of torque an electric system will bring on, make sure to adjust the ESC to be softer at starts. Most of my 5th scale is now electric, but I still keep one gas because it's just cool.

Edgar and I race our 1/8 scales out there. Getting into 1/5 soon. You are right. Live the community of racers out there. So much more laid back and way less clicky.

Good stuff can't wait to see that beast running. Stay blessed brother 🤙🏾🤙🏾

I was racer since '92 and got myself a Venture SBK scale truck last year. I can tell you, it's a blast. Driving the truck over more and more difficult terrain feeds the competitor as well. 👍

That track is amazing looking! Excited to hear you guys are working on some products for this lineup. 👍

Awesome, just the kind of content we need during this current outbreak and stay at home

Enjoyed the video. I own a HPI BAJA 5B. I miss running it since they closed a Track south of me. I enjoy off-road and onroad R/C all scales.

Wow! I've honestly never seen a fifth scale vehicle. Pretty damn cool!

Congratulations on ur fifth scale journey ! Great video 👍

So Happy that your back

We probably come from the same mold. I’ve been an RC racer for decades and I’ve ran almost every type of RC vehicle. When I lived in Germany I ran 1/5 scale gas on-road. That was the most fun I’ve had in racing. Fast forward some years, now I’m retired but I always wanted to learn about machining so I got a job at a local machine shop and now I can make some cool parts for my cars. I’m just getting back into racing and I started with a Losi TEN SCTE 3.0, however, the 1/5 short course truck is really where I want to go. Anyway, thanks for sharing. I’m keen to see what mods you come up with.

Ive never even knew that track was there. I gotta check it out now!

Nothing beats the BRAAATTT of a 2 stroke motor

ShortCourseWorld finally putting out some short course content?!

Awesome, you should check out MOD series for 5th scale when all this Quarantine is over. Hopefully we will run into you at Good Ole Boys.

I’m from Bakersfield, too. Small world.

Nice monster 👍. Subscribed.

Great video. Welcome to the 1/5 scale addiction

Let’s go! Waiting for more Content J!!

Let's see it on 14s.

Hi, may i have a little tip for you? Get an Olimat pipe. I've had both Olimat and bartolone and tbh olimat outperforms bart. They are just not rl popular in states. Also losi servos are not half bad they are rebranded savox. Another tip take a little string and use it to tie these little nuts for the bottom screws into your cage they tend to fall off and get lost BTW always use the bottom screws without them cage will break like it if was made out of glass and with them its pretty hard to break. And ofc get a kill switch. Another tip is run motocross oil instead of lawnmower or hobbystore oil much beter performance.

Congratulations!!! Welcome to the large scale portion of our hobby! The Hitec servos you bought are actually great! No reason to spend 500+ on servos in my opinion. As I understand it the Bartolone pipe is definitely one of the best available. Victory also makes really nice pipes, I have three myself. Enjoy your new rig..I look forward to seeing videos! Hope you and your family are staying healthy!

Huge, I like it

Miss your videos man! Hope all is well, Merry Christmas!

My dad use to own one of the first gens of these trucks, but he sold it. I'm also building a 2wd yokomo bmax 2 that is mainly for just having fun and I do not know what electronics to put in it.

Youll get hooked. Next youll be putting a pipe and bigger engine in it.

oh wow this is BIG news congrats and welcome to the 1/5 scale world not that I think you will need it but if you do feel free to reach out if you need any help

I'm going to turn my Honda Quad into Radio control! Its gonna be sick !!

I wonder if you were to do 5th scale club racing, would they allow an electric converted 5t to run with gas? doubt there would be many other electric 5th scales.

Still alive😂, nice vid

You own RAW speed? I just started hearing about your tires at my track here in Sac.. thats cool..

really interested in the electric version. I don't think the neighbors would put up with the gas motors racing in the back yard.

Whats a step up on servo from the one you chose?

I just want to know how many cans of paint it takes!

Any Way RAW speed can make some tires for the Super Baja Rey, there arent any option out there for it..

Is the TLR Electric Conversion Kit (which is now long discontinued, but still found on ebay) compatible with the 2.0? I'm assuming, due to the chassis differences between the 2.0 and original, that there are at least a few mods or drilling you have to do.

NICE 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

Do they allow 1/5 scale electric on track.

I need a 5th scale

If i ever have to marshall a 5th scale race, you better provide me with a full plate armor 😂😂😂

Think the stock body is all white underneath all the decals

the wheels are kinda small. Is it okay to get larger ones? I feel like those wheels are super weak

gear it down, too!!

You have a CNC channel as well ?

Hey Jason, Been following you for years. I been working for Jay Pierson for 8 years now, I think you own some of our products? I'm interested in seeing if this track is still open and if you are still going to be making parts for the Losi 5T. I have a 5T but haven't ran it much and i just picked up the DBXL 2.0 Thanks, Hopefully I'll run into you one of these days.

I got my first mainstream 1/5. It is a hpi baja 5t. I am in the process of converting it to electric. It was too beat up to kept gas.

1/5 scale is fun. But my favorite class is 1/10 4wd buggy racing

wheres the et410 review

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Of course you got a second body to have the all-white one!! :D :D :D :D

Please help me out. How come none of the rc companies offers a 1/5 scale kit? I really want the pleasure of assembling my own 1/5 car.

Jason looking THIC....

The gas engines don't require that much maintenance. They aren't nitro engines. You don't have to do after run maintenance or oil changes or anything like that. At most you should just empty the fuel tank if you aren't going to run it for a few weeks and clean the air filter every once in a while. That's it.

Gonna make stuff for that truck hit up RCsparks

You should just give it a whole new engine like an obr. She needs some real horsepower those stock lawnmower engines are pretty slow.

The car is a beast but we do need good bodies you have to do a body for sure you need to make a body did I say we need a good aftermarket body

Did u say Bakersfield..? I'm from Bakersfield I only know one track in town..

Don't convert it :) Replace the air filter with something aftermarket from D@M racing and get a turtle racing clutch.

I found with the gas stuff the maintenance in regards to the engine etc is bugger all espresso compared to nitro they are not even close. Most of your time is spent cleaning and checking over/maintaining the chassis which does not change weather its gas or electric anyway. The gas motors just go for ages and are so much cheaper to fix unless you are going for the crazy big horsepower engines.

Ok now where talking 🤙

Watch those blue servos, they burn out very quickly

Put the brushless stuff in it the motors are junk an it never stays tuned my buddie has a gas one I gave my switched over an I drag him like he us tied to a stump

Danm like 2k worth of stuff. Must be a tax right off huh? Lol

I guess you are going to go mad with flames checkered flags some tribal decals air brushed in white🤣😂

I own a Losi 5T for 6 years and...I do not brake nothing on it,and I bash ......

2 5th scales 1 gas 1 electric

You could have bought the Rovan copy for 1/2 the price & added many mods for the same cost as the Losi

Awesome car Tragic engine , sounds like a lawnmower or a bad moped. That goes for all of these gas engines. That's why I never bought one

Cool car... but electric... you lost me on that

Anything above 1/10 is ridiculous! At that point just go buggying urself.😐
