2013/07/07: EDITED to resize photos and include fuel usage along with price drop.

Well, I think it's time to let the baja go to someone who has time and a place to run it.

This was the 5B SS kit I bought back in February of 2011 and built myself over a 2 day period.

I just don't have people to run with and the few areas I have to run it just aren't that fun.

$600 + actual shipping will take it and all parts as shown. US buyers only. It will not come with the throttle servo, receiver or transmitter. I can throw in a traxxas TQ that I have or an HPI TF3 or futaba T2PH that I have laying around, each have their own receiver. It will come with the steering servo (metal gear version from SS kit) and a 6 Volt 4200mah Hump Pack by Venom Power that I ballooned and wrapped in electrical tape to protect it since it was exposed in the chassis conversion. I will also find the spark plug wrench, wheel nut wrench and anything else I have that came with it.

Engine probably has about 1.5-2 gallons through it. I still have half a quart of 2 cycle oil I used.

The bad:
Axle boots are torn up and should be replaced
Wing is busted, but new one is included
One rear tire has a lug torn out of it

Not a whole lot of upgrades on it:
5T can muffler
Alloy front tower brace and x part
RPM front arms
RPM front bumper/skid
RB Innovations crank case air filter $65 (really works well to keep grass/sticks getting packed in around the engine)
5T spark plug guard
Scorpion shorty chassis kit $179

Well, if it sits here too long, I may be willing to ship up to you. The poor rig has been just sitting on my shelf... someone should get some use out of it before winter comes again.
 
Boy if i had sold my Tekno the other day, i would pull the trigger on this ASAP.
 
Funny that you have this up for sale. I use my Savage Flux so little that I'm thinking about unloading it and buying a gasser. $30 a gallon for nitro and LiPo batteries that are getting old from SC racing, it's hard to get runtime. Gas on the other hand, cheaper and easier to obtain.

I'll have to see what I can get for the Flux.
 
After thinking about it for a couple days, I just can't bring myself to part with the Flux.... Which means no 5b until I can save up some money.

But here's a free bump for ya anyway.
 
Don't get worried its the shipping that wards everyone off of such a sweet purchase.
I'm still interested!
 
Stuff doesn't seem to move on here like it used to. My opinion you're a tad bit high on the price but just my opinion. Free bump hope it sells for ya. If its not a huge bargain stuff doesn't seem to sell. Try craigslist also
 
I'll let it sit here. I looked around on other forums and whatnot and my price seems pretty fair.

All it's doing is taking up space on a shelf anyway.
 
The price is definitely fair considering it started as a 1k gasser. Toss in the hop ups, I say you're priced fair if not under priced.

Personally I think people are just not buying right now.
 
The price is great IMO! Summer is a rough time to sell toys, lots of people vacationing so rc money is thin. The price of shipping doesn't help!
 
Damn it Olds!! Why must you tempt me so blatantly?!?! I miss the nitro, but hated the constant tweeking. I've always wanted a gasser!!
 
Well friend, it's here waiting for you. The first start might be kind of rough as I haven't fired it up in a year... but I did run the tank empty and I do have spare plugs.

You can see in some of the photo's, I made little wings out of spare body lexan so grass and whatnot wouldn't go up under the body back by the engine. That annoyed me.
