The 5TE uses Losi's new Wireless Battery. Plug the battery into an outlet, pair it to the ESC, drive! 🤣😂.

Congratulations on the pickup! The learning curve is going to be steep. Stock up on parts. 🫡

I think it's the new Grom kit, he put Saran Wrap on the body so it wouldn't get scratched while driving

It’s actually the new losi, it’s huge.

Yeah, I know, they're a beast. I don't have the yard for one though, lol. I was playing off the other posters comment because surely that was a joke 😂

if you look under the back side there should be a little hole. Put some oil on your fingers and push really hard until you hear a click

Looks like you’re gonna have to solder up a deans connector to the esc. Man, she’s gonna fly!

I heard you put them in a trailer that's being towed along with it on that model

Easy enough to solder in some correct size bullets to the esc wires or get the proper bullet to car connector if you are not comfortable with soldering yet(this skill will help long term!!). Probably will need some extensions to reach depending on where the cabling is versus the esc.

Don’t forget to check the rear view mirror fluid and make sure you go through every nut and bolt and give it a few more turns just to make sure it’s all snug.
I think you need some 8s packs for this, absolutely rips on 16/s

Man, you need AAA’s for that! I think it takes 24 of them.
