MIP 32mm Big Bore Bypass1 Shock Kit for Losi 5IVE-T

Tony Phalen February 15, 2015 New RC Cars and Parts 151 Views

MIP is going big into 1/5 scale with the announcement of their new 32mm Big Bore Bypass1 Shock Kit for the Losi 5IVE-T. Designed to increase the overall suspension feel of the 5IVE-T, these shocks have a bore size that is increased 4mm in size, holding more oil and allowing the shocks to do more of the work to keep this 40lb truck in check around the track.

These shocks are said to be more responsive, predictable and help stabilize the truck in the roughest conditions. They were used by team members to gain the TQ at the 2014 West Coast Nationals as well as a crushing victory in the 1/5 scale buggy class.

Includes 4 hard anodized Big Bore shocks, MIP’s Bypass1 Piston system and 2 pairs of front/rear springs.

#14370 MIP 1/5th Scale, 32mm Big Bore Bypass1™ Shock Kit, Losi 5IVE-T – $356.25
