This rear hub replacement enhances rear wheel mounting on LOSI 5IVE-TE vehicles by using 7075-T6 aluminum for improved stiffness and bearing support. The set targets owners who want a direct swap that strengthens hub hardware for 1/5 desert truck use.
Manufacturing details: hubs are CNC machined from aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminum to increase rigidity over stock cast components while maintaining acceptable mass. The inner bearing remains 20x32x7mm; the outer bearing is increased to 12x28x7mm from the original 12x24x6mm to improve bearing contact and load distribution at the spindle. The unit is listed as a direct replacement for LOS-3668.
Fitting notes: follow LOSI 5IVE-TE hub assembly procedures and inspect for any interference with existing mounting hardware and wheel hexes when upgrading to the larger outer bearing. Reuse OEM fasteners where appropriate and confirm bearing preload and axle engagement.
Impact on usage: the upgrade to 7075 hubs with a larger outer bearing reduces hub flex and bearing wear during heavy impacts and aggressive desert running, enhancing long-term durability without altering suspension geometry.
Package contents include two rear hubs and the matching inner and outer bearings needed for both sides of the rear axle as listed by the original source.
For LOSI 1/5 owners who want a reliable strength upgrade to rear hub hardware, this 7075 hub set increases outer bearing capacity while retaining inner bearing dimensions for a straightforward replacement of the factory item.
