This replacement rear hub set is an RC-scale accessory intended to upgrade rear wheel mounting stiffness and bearing support on LOSI 5IVE-TE platforms. The hubs are machined from 7075-T6 aluminum and target hobbyists seeking a direct-fit, stronger rear hub for 1/5 desert truck use.
Manufacture and fit: the hubs are CNC machined from aviation-grade 7075-T6 aluminum to increase structural rigidity versus stock cast parts while controlling mass. The design keeps the inner bearing size at 20x32x7mm and increases the outer bearing to 12x28x7mm (stock outer bearing: 12x24x6mm) to improve contact area and load distribution at the wheel spindle. The part is noted as a direct replacement for LOS-3668.
Installation notes: hubs follow LOSI 5IVE-TE geometry but verify wheel hex clearance and axle engagement when upgrading to the larger outer bearing. Reuse original mounting fasteners where appropriate and check bearing preload and axle seating during reassembly. Standard RC workshop tools are sufficient.
Tuning role: fitting 7075 hubs with an upsized outer bearing improves rear wheel support under heavy impacts and high-speed runs, reducing hub flex and bearing wear. This is a chassis-level durability upgrade rather than a suspension geometry change.
Package contents include two rear hubs plus matching inner and outer bearings needed to complete the rear axle swap for both sides.
For owners of the listed LOSI 1/5 vehicles seeking a reliable rear hub strength upgrade, this 7075 hub set increases outer bearing capacity while maintaining inner bearing dimensions for straightforward replacement of the referenced factory item.
