Titanium replacement rack tailored to LOSI 5IVE-TE 3.0

This steering rack is an RC-scale replacement part manufactured for the LOSI 5IVE-TE 3.0 1/5 electric 4WD desert truck platform. Fabricated from titanium via a wire-cut process, it is referenced to the original LOS-3720. The wire-cut finish may leave faint machining marks or very small burrs; light storage scratches can be present and are cosmetic only.

It serves as a direct replacement for the stock steering tie on the 5IVE-TE 3.0 chassis listed below. During assembly ensure the servo horn mates cleanly with the rack and that full suspension travel does not foul the linkage. Remove any tiny burrs with a fine file if necessary to guarantee smooth motion.

As an upgrade component the titanium rack gives a stable mounting surface for steering links and can help deliver consistent steering input under load; confirm tuning changes on the bench before running at speed to evaluate handling effects.

Before installation, compare the part to the listed LOSI chassis for correct fit and inspect for any transit blemishes; use the recommended threadlocker on applicable fasteners.

Does this require modification to fit the 5IVE-TE 3.0?

No modifications are expected for the listed chassis; still confirm servo horn position and linkage clearance before final tightening to ensure correct geometry.

What fastening practice is recommended?

Use the chassis-specified screws and apply threadlocker where instructed. Tighten fasteners evenly and check linkage freedom through full suspension movement.

Should I test on the bench first?

Yes. Validate alignment and smooth motion on the bench, then perform low-speed runs to confirm steering behaviour before full-power use.

Are visible machining marks a sign of defect?

Visible machining marks are normal from the wire-cut process and are not defects. Only return the part if you find structural damage or significant dimensional issues.
