Zenoah G320RC FIRST Losi 5IVE installed video davesmotors com 

Thanks for stopping by to leave a comment. Stoked to hear you are having a good time with the hobby :)

+RideRedRacer Thanks for dropping by and leaving some feedback for us! Shipping quick keeps everyone happy. Enjoy your hobby and send pics of your ride or share them with us on instagram, twitter, etc.

ofr2011 Agreed! This thing is totally awesome for the price tag. One of the best values on the market!

Any time! Stay tuned for more vids.

I am excited to see how it performs when we get our hands on the +2mm stroke crankshaft next month. Front tires won't be necessary any more, as they will spend all day up in the air.

+warlock30.5 Thanks for the kind words! It is really appreciated to hear that we are helping others get out and enjoy the hobby as much as we do.

EVERYDAY RC 320*

The stock Baja 5B air filter will work. I think the stock HPI filter is a really great filter, but it is difficult to remove. Get the Shreadstack to make it easier to remove the air filter for maintenance: www.davesmotors.com/af504.html

bryan70546 What Losi are you running it with?

Jason Perrin Yes it is a definite improvement in power over the G290RC. If you have a tuned pipe then the results will be enhanced even more.

This will be completely compatible with your V2 Dominator. It will fit right into the HPI Baja. The exhaust port is identical to the original RC style engine.

The real challenge has been the servos themselves. We do have just a couple complete kits left in stock. If you want one give us a call or email us, 801.619.0235 or sales@davesmotors.com

I should be able to do that in a couple of weeks. I am sure it will be a lot of fun trying to handle the power!

Calvin Yang Hey Calvin - the factory settings on the engine are simply to get the engine started. Even during the break-in process you may need to adjust the needles slightly to ensure the engine is not getting too hot. You can plan on tuning the carb after break in. You can download the G320RC engine manual in its entirety from the DDM site here: www.davesmotors.com/site/zenoah-g320rc-owners-manual-ddm.pdf

DDMSteveB thanks Steve , u r the best .

You will want to use the sm103 air box for that filter :)

hey there! You can see our springs for the 5IVE-T here: www.davesmotors.com/ddm-hd-shock-springs-for-losi-5ive-front-and-rear-3-tension-options-.html we have a listing of the stock spring rates/optional Losi spring rates and compared to ours. I would go one step higher than stock springs if you have added upgrades to your car like alum bits, tuned pipe, etc.

too loud 😂

Stephen Foster this video was just standard gearing (19/58). It could easily push another tooth on the pinion.

+BIGGBULLxxx Direct bolt on with swapping of two parts from your stock engine. More details can be seen here: www.davesmotors.com/Zenoah-G320RC-Engine-Complete.html I would say it is around 40-45MPH, stock gearing.

+DDMSteveB ok thanks

BIGGBULLxxx that is the cap from a previous generation kraken fueler. The little hose and red thing is the breather valve.

Large scale cars are a lot more like the full sized counterparts. If you are familiar with 2 stroke engines like dirt bikes/snow mobiles/yard equipment, etc then it would be a rather easy transition. Compared to the cost of entry level to mid level smaller scale cars 1/5 is much more costly. If you consider 1/8 nitro racing then the costs are actually pretty similar in most regards. There will be maintenance and you will need a bit of space to work on them. I have smaller 1/10 electric vehicles for mindless playing around, but when I want to have a really good time I shake down one of my 1/5 cars. Everything else is unequal to the kind of fun I can have with them.

DDMSteveB Hi, What pinion do you use? Stock pinion and spur gear? See my videos too, search BRUTOBH. thanks.

I will get a Video of it in a Baja soon :)

Cool thank you

That was the stock air filter, but it was the Dominator tuned pipe for the Losi 5IVE. I have this engine in my VEKTA.5 and use just the stock Kraken filter and CY High Flow Muffler and it performs equally well.

On our site we go into detail on what needs to be swapped, basically just order the "shorty" clutch housing 32cc engine, and then use a CY fan cover. If you have a Losi RTR then you can take the fan cover from your stock engine. If you have a 5IVE Roller then you need to buy a CY fan cover that is just $15.00. You can call or email us if you have any more questions :)

Thanks a lot man

Stephen Foster yes definitely has more power than your current combo. For the price the performance of the G320 is unmatched.

@@DDMSteveB excellent thanks bud I'll make a purchase soon :)

+Mark Dmitri You are going to have a lot of squeeze with the mod engine. Fitting into the Losi is easy. You will want to use a CY fan cover (the part that covers the flywheel). OBR might offer that when you buy the engine. You will want a modified "shorty" clutch housing too (again, might be installed from OBR as an option depending on what you chose). You will probably need to use the clutch plate and clutch plate bolt from your stock engine too. That is the little piece that bolts to the crankshaft that holds the clutch shoes. Install is easy!

OBR is sending me the CLutch housing so should be easy to install, I hope = ) thanks a lot for the information!

+DDMSteveB so if iwant to install a zenoah g320 int my losi i need to change the fan cover and clutch hounsing and clutch plate thats it right

You will want to buy the "shorty housing" version of the G320, swap the fan cover for the CY (can be removed from your stock engine) and use the CY clutch plate and clutch plate bolt (all three numbers on our site is eg411, gt244, gt249)

Everything I own that is not 1/5 is brushless. I love electric stuff for the power and ease of use, but until battery tech and motor/esc tech catches up I will stick with my gas stuff. You are going to love this engine. It is the best thing out there for the money.

DDMSteveB Which pinion do you use? thanks

The stock pinion (19 tooth)

DDMSteveB thanks friend!! see my videos too, search BRUTOBH in RU-vid, I runnning with 5ive plus 32cc Zenoah and 22 T pinion vs baja HPI..

This is the stock gearing (19/58) and stock BND air filter. The engine is a stock and standard G320RC. The pipe is just a standard Dominator for the Losi 5IVE.

It is the giant Hitec servo, sold here: www.davesmotors.com/HRC34900-Hitec-HS-900SGS-Giant-Servo-for-Losi-5ive-HT900K.html My truck has the older HS-900SGS, the newest version is the HS-1000SGT, 1500+oz of torque! The Best upgrade available for the Losi 5IVE

DDMSteveB OK thank you for the information and link.

Not really. The Hitec 5765 and Savox 0235/0236 servos just aren't really up to par for this truck by themselves. The stock servo doesn't do great and fades after a while of driving, but it takes a lot of abuse and won't give up the smoke like other smaller servos do. My suggestion, stick with stock and save up for the big servo - "Buy once, Cry once"

Everardo Martinez Need a little more info with what is going on. First few things to check: Use 25:1 on your pre-mix Replace the spark plug When you say it is "hard to start" do you mean it is physically difficult to pull start the engine or you are pulling and not getting any pop out of it? You need to make sure you are getting fuel into the engine. Check your fuel tank to make sure it is venting properly and that your needle settings are set to the initial starting points.

DDMSteveB do you know what are the starting points on the needles for this kind of carbs, I did check the venti hole and it's ok, yes there is fuel going into the carb, sometimes starts but I have to choke it couple of times and when I pull the throttle triger it dies awhile it's running. I will go ahead and change the spark plug but it will be nice if you can hook me up with the needle settings. By the way thanks for answering me, nice customer service. I bought it from you when the engine barely came out but I'm barely putted in car. Thanks again Steve.

Everardo Martinez The stock needle settings are 1 7/8 from closed on the HIGH and 1 3/8 on the LOW needle. This info as well as a lot of other information can be found in the owners manual which can be viewed here: www.davesmotors.com/site/zenoah-g320rc-owners-manual-ddm.pdf

DDMSteveB thanks for the info i appreciate it a lot.

Once I get the engine back I will put it in my 5T and run it around and see what I can break on film. Might be a couple of weeks :)

Yes it is! We’ve been squeezing this engine into the 5IVE-T for years 😂 difference being the 2.0 has gearing of 20/62 and the stock 1.0 gearing you see here is 19/58. The 2.0 gearing is a little taller for more top speed.

DDMSteveB thx man! I wonder, with the taller gears, if a 2-speed tranny would be a good option. One for blowing off the line and the other to be a “passing” gear on the track. I think that’s the route I’m going to go. Suggestions?

Brushless 1/5 cars zip, but battery life sucks. Battery costs suck. Charging batteries sucks. A single 700cc tank of fuel will get you about ~40 minutes of driving. When you run out of gas? Fill it up and keep going. Driving balls out on your DBXL-E with the suggested batteries you are getting...12ish minutes of run time? Then you need to wait for the batteries to cool down and spend another 1 1/2 hours charging them assuming you have a two port charger unless you have a second set of batteries which means mega bucks are being spent. I love brushless and I love electric cars. All of my 1/10 and 1/8 are brushless/lipo but for large scale I am just not there.

This was the stock 1.0 truck gearing, 19/58

Oo maybe 5, a darksoul lightened flywheel too

+Azmi J Realistically with the stock gearing here on the street is is probably around 40MPH. With 1/5 for me I have more fun out of having low-end grunt to get the truck up and moving. Mostly the trucks are driven off road as well. For straight out speed that is what I have my FG Sportsline sedan for :)

Glad you enjoyed the video. One day I hope that I can pump out some more videos!

Screw electrics, brap for me! 1/5 all the way!

It is way faster. If you are referring to the top speed of the truck that will not change too much. They don't hit any higher RPM, but the amount of shove and hustle to get it up to speed is much more dramatic

Simply adding lightness to make it faster!

+2mm stroker crank will be out in a couple of months, bump the displacement up to ~34cc

Cool . How come no 38.cc ddm is not on good terms with obr or what

We are on excellent terms with OBR. We just have decided that particular engine is not something we are interested in stocking. We have a few more of their parts on the way to us (crankcases, and a couple other bits)

Oh . I see .cool thanks for the reply

+sdw2003 Well sure. Keep in mind that the battery alone will be the cost of this engine and will only yield run times of about one half a tank of fuel. You will also need a pretty hot battery charger to bump that size of battery to full capacity in a little over an hour, or two chargers if you are running two batteries in series. We can also talk about the MGM Compro speed controller that costs north of $700 as realistically the only option for speed controllers that will handle the weight and size of this truck. Then the cost of the motor, assuming you decided to save a few bucks and get the castle motor for $240 instead of spending the $700 on the Lehner motor you are totally right! You will smoke this setup that costs $300 all day long. As long as your day is only about 20 minutes long and also as long as you had a couple hours before that day to charge the battery. Did I forget to mention the $280 on the brushless conversion? It appears that slipped my mind. I love brushless stuff, all my 1/10 is brushless. On 1/5 the price is just too high to justify except for a very small number of people.

+DDMSteveB , lol good point sir!!

+DDMSteveB Plus the SOUND! I love the SOUND! Brushless IS faster but I don't want my 5th scale desert truck sounding like an air leak when it's going by

+HeyDude93gt ...but (mine will be passing you)

+sdw2003 But for how long? 13 15 17 minutes? Cant pass when low voltage hits. And what about the heat? I know they're fast as HELL but I have to have that sound in my 5th scales I am however fixing to convert a older nitro buggy & truggy's over though

Well Steve at DDM has gone out of his way for me. So I assume he is doing this to all customers. 1/5 scales are high dollar I found out the hard way but I love the service at DDM I have noticed they sometimes cannot answer the phone but they will call you back and answer your emails as well.

Always been excellent with me

LOL we like our UPS driver though

@@DDMSteveB i worked in the company for 11 years they treat you as bad as dirt

well, the main thing is that you are satisfied

No, certainly not! Especially considering the price compared to the new engine is a pretty significant difference. The G290 has been the staple engine for a number of years and is proven to be an awesome powerplant.
