Baja 5B SS

[robmob]

Here is the front light mount I used.

The 5T can has good bottom and top end and is perfect for track racing. In fact, I really could not tell the difference between using the can and using the HPI tuned pipe except that the can is much quieter. This is why I am selling the brand new SS tuned pipe that came in the kit. I have no use for it.

Is that the Turtle Racing front upper chassis brace? If so, where did you order it from? I looked on most of the major sites I know :\

 

[robmob]

Yes it is.

I pretty much have everything Turtle makes except for his diff saver.

Looks like only silver is available at the moment.

Hey, if you got the cash go for it! Once you go big you'll never enjoy 1/10 and 1/8 again! (although I do still like my minis )

Yeah, I can understand that. Not to mention I went to buy some Nitro fuel here a week ago (hadn't bought any in a while) and it's up to $45 plus tax a gallon :whhooo: I think I may just sell off all my other stuff except the micro t and try to pick one up. In the long run it'll pay for itself in fuel costs.

fuel cost alone is huge

1 gallon of nitro. 45 plus bux. gal of gas and oil 5 bux. runs 50plus minutes per tank compared to 8. dont HAVE to tune everytime the wind changes directions or a baby in a 3rd world country shits on the ground instead of in a diaper.

and its just a BLAST. and basically much more durable.
and 6hp plus motors and tuned pipes that sound like 78 YZ 250s. whats not to like.

Yeah, the sound alone would make some people buy one.

In fact, I think I actually got someone into the hobby with my Baja the other day (before I broke it). They pulled over when I was driving it in the pond and asked where to get one. The next day I saw them driving a 2.5 Maxx down in the pond... lol

[robmob]

Not a speck. It doesn't even have dust on it since it has been sitting on a stand with a cover on it.

Off-road race season does not start until the first week in April and I have been running my Autocross 5B since the first race for it is less than 3 weeks away.

 

[spee-d]
