Highlights

1/5th Scale Heritage
The 5IVE-TE 3.0 is engineered from the ground up on the legendary 5IVE-T platform that set the benchmark for large-scale racing. This chassis draws on successful 1/8-scale and short course engineering to provide a massive level of durability. It is the first purpose-built electric version in the series, offering a heavy-duty racing pedigree for a powerful and reliable scale experience.

Powerful High-Torque Servo
The high-torque metal-top servo is engineered to handle extreme stress with a massive 1000 oz/in output. The metal top case serves a dual purpose by keeping the internal gears perfectly aligned while acting as a heat sink to draw warmth away from the motor. This design ensures consistent performance and increased durability during high-stakes large-scale sessions.

Spektrum 12S Electronics
The Spektrum Firma 12S 250A ESC is the highest-powered offering in the lineup designed for large-scale applications. It features Smart technology to provide real-time telemetry and efficient power management directly to your transmitter. This ESC delivers the reliability and raw energy needed to handle massive 12S power loads without breaking a sweat.

560kV Brushless Motor
The 560kv brushless motor is the largest ever fitted to a surface vehicle by the brand. Its 70mm diameter and 120mm length provide the extreme torque required for serious 12S high-performance applications. The sensorless design ensures smooth power delivery and mechanical toughness during aggressive driving and high-speed runs.

Dual Cooling Fans
Managing 50.4 volts of power requires elite cooling to keep the motor in the optimum temperature range. The system features a custom aluminium heat sink that encapsulates the motor and mounts two high-volume 50mm fans. This setup ensures maximum efficiency and longevity even during the most demanding large-scale sessions.

6 Channel Spektrum Receiver
The SR6200A receiver utilises frequency-agile DSMR technology to deliver superb range and signal security. It includes AVC technology to increase stability when navigating tough terrain or high-speed straightaways. This unit provides real-time telemetry data when paired with compatible Smart components to keep you informed of your vehicle's status at all times

Super Tough Body
The injection-moulded body panels are designed to flex and absorb impacts during aggressive driving or rollovers. The manufacturing process ensures a uniform thickness throughout the shell to eliminate thin spots and increase overall strength. It is a rugged solution that maintains its scale appearance even after taking a serious beating on the track.

Straightened Drivetrain
The centre drivetrain has been straightened to optimise strength and mechanical efficiency across the chassis. This design eliminates compound angles to significantly improve the durability of the driveshafts under high torque loads. It is a proven layout that ensures the 12S power reaches the ground with minimal friction and maximum impact.

32mm Big Bore Shocks
The 32mm big bore shocks feature a massive 78% increase in fluid volume compared to previous versions. The larger diameter provides improved damping and a more controlled rebound for maximum traction on rough surfaces. Tapered pistons help manage the suspension travel to keep the machine planted during high-speed jumps and technical manoeuvres.

Easy Access Diff Mount
The easy-access centre diff mount simplifies routine maintenance by allowing the differential to be removed quickly. By unbolting just six screws, the top plate assembly can be lifted to provide full access to the internal gears. This user-friendly design reduces pit time and ensures you spend more time on the track and less time on the bench.

Fully Licensed Wheels
This truck features licensed KMC KM549 wheels paired with massive 8.5-inch Pro-Line Mirage TT tyres. The design utilises Pro-Loc bead technology to ensure the tyres stay securely mounted during high-speed 12S runs. This combination delivers a real scale look along with the functional grip needed for large-scale off-road racing.

New Suspension Arms
The new front and rear suspension arms feature added material around the lower shock mounting locations to ensure uniform thickness and maximum strength. This design significantly improves durability during high-impact landings and aggressive large-scale racing sessions. It is a rugged upgrade that provides the mechanical toughness required to handle the extreme stress of a 12S power system.

Optimised High-Torque Gearing
Take control of a beast with a drivetrain that has been geared specifically for heavy-duty torque and performance. The 43/12 ring and pinion setup works in harmony with the 67t spur to deliver the rapid acceleration needed for a large-scale chassis. This refined gear set ensures the machine remains agile and responsive while managing the weight and power of a 12S system.

Spektrum DX3™ DSMR® Radio System
The included Spektrum™ DX3™ radio system provides superior range, response, and interference resistance with exclusive DSMR® technology. It's also fully compatible with Smart telemetry, allowing you to monitor your vehicle's performance in real-time. Plus, the included thumb steering attachment adds versatility to your driving experience.

Question: could 1 teenager carry it
Share what you knowHamishStaffAnswer:It weighs around 23.3kg before batteries, so it is a very large and heavy RC truck. A teenager may be able to carry it for a short distance, depending on their size and strength, but we would recommend two people for lifting or moving it safely.
