Ordered flishrc cobra. Communication was great. Ordered larger batteries but they were the wrong size. Olly shipped the right batteries and gave a refund for the difference I paid. Couldn't ask for more. Thanks for the help with the order.

The seller knew I was after one and very kindly informed me when they came back into stock so now have a Flywing Bell 206. Fantastic bit of kit. Well worth the wait.

About this product
Replacement CVD drive shafts for LOSI 5IVE
This GPM aftermarket part is a direct replacement-style front and rear constant velocity drive shaft set designed for LOSI 1/5 5IVE-series desert trucks. Manufacture uses 4140 steel and the pin-to-pin length measures 152mm, matching step-in dimensions for the specified chassis while providing a heavier-duty cross section compared with some factory items.
Key hardware notes from the original data: the set replaces factory part LOS-3705, the dogbone diameter is increased to 8.5mm from the prior 7mm, and the locating pin feature has been removed to improve overall section strength. The pack supplies two CVD shafts intended as front and rear units.
Fitment and tuning role: these shafts are intended for 1/5 scale 4WD desert truck setups where higher torsional load capacity is required, such as when running larger motors, stronger ESC settings, or rough off-road surfaces. Check wheel hex and differential cup engagement during installation to confirm full travel and prevent interference with suspension movement.
Compatible Models
- LOSI 1/5 5IVE-TE 3.0 Electric 4WD Desert Truck RTR-LOS05022
- LOSI 1/5 5IVE-TG 3.0 Gas 4WD Desert Truck RTR-LOS05025
If you need a steel replacement set that keeps the original 152mm pin spacing while increasing cross-section thickness and eliminating the locating pin, this GPM set provides those characteristics; confirm compatibility with your hubs and diff cups before final assembly.
What material are these drive shafts made from?
The shafts are specified as 4140 steel, offered for increased durability under load compared with standard alloy parts.
Do these replace LOS-3705 factory parts?
Yes, the listing notes these shafts are a replacement for part LOS-3705 and retain a 152mm pin-to-pin spacing.
What is different about the dogbone diameter?
The dogbone diameter is increased to 8.5mm from the original 7mm, which raises torsional stiffness in the driveline.
What is included in the package?
The package supplies two CVD drive shafts intended for front and rear installation. Write Product Review Please sign in your account before you can write any review.
