Key Features
- Clear Polycarbonate Construction — The transparent polycarbonate material provides exceptional durability whilst allowing full visibility of your truck's internal components, electronics, and chassis work. This aesthetic advantage means your carefully tuned suspension, brushless motor setup, and quality parts are on display rather than hidden away, whilst the rigid polycarbonate ensures the body maintains its shape under high-speed running and aggressive cornering.
- Complete Body Section Package — This single part includes the primary body shell, hood, and both front fenders, eliminating the need to source multiple components separately. Having all three elements as one integrated section ensures perfect alignment, consistent panel gaps, and a professional finished appearance that you'd expect from genuine Losi equipment.
- Genuine Losi OEM Part — As an official Losi factory part, this body section is engineered to exact specifications and fits the 5IVE-T platform without modification or adjustment. Using genuine OEM parts rather than aftermarket alternatives guarantees compatibility with your truck's frame and mounting points, ensuring hassle-free installation and reliable long-term performance.
- 1/5 Scale Short Course Truck Design — Specifically engineered for the Losi 5IVE-T, this body section is proportioned and styled to suit the short course truck platform, combining aerodynamic efficiency with authentic truck-style aesthetics that define this popular vehicle category.
- Five-Star Verified Customer Rating — This component has earned a perfect 5-star rating from verified purchasers, demonstrating consistent quality, proper fitment, and customer satisfaction across a proven track record of real-world use and testing.
Technical Performance
The LOS 1/5 Clear Body represents the pinnacle of OEM body manufacturing for the short course truck platform. Constructed from premium polycarbonate—a material chosen for its exceptional impact resistance, thermal stability, and optical clarity—this body section provides the structural integrity required for high-performance 1/5 scale RC racing. The transparent finish is achieved without compromising material strength, maintaining the rigidity necessary to protect internal components during aggressive off-road running and competition use. The body, hood, and fenders are engineered as an integrated section, eliminating potential fitment issues that can arise when using multiple aftermarket pieces. This precision engineering ensures that when mounted on your 5IVE-T's chassis, the body sits flush with all mounting points, creating the clean lines and professional appearance that distinguishes genuine Losi equipment. The material's UV resistance ensures the clear finish remains transparent and does not yellow or degrade under prolonged outdoor use, crucial for maintaining both appearance and functionality over extended periods of competitive running and casual bashing. Whether you're running a brushless motor setup pushing your 5IVE-T to its limits or enjoying weekend recreational drives, this body section provides the durability and reliability expected from factory-approved components.
