Beating on the Baja!

[charliejp]

I found this nice little spot right behind the house! Had a blast beating on the Baja on Saturday! Here's a little video for you guys. Oh, I didn't break a thing! I'm absolutely amazed at the beating this thing will take!

makes me want one real bad.
would you prefer the 5T over the 5B?
Now I'm torn between the 1/5 scale 2 stroke or the 1/10th scale scale electric
(even though neither is affordable lol)
nice vids

Why choose? Do both...... =devil

 

[Wolfgang10]

lol well since i can't do one....two is for sure a dream

Nice vids Charlie. The last jump in the second vid was awesome, cleared the whole thing!

I chose the 5B for one big reason, a body for the 5T is around $160, the 5B body is $29. I do really dig the look of the 5T though.

I still haven't painted or assembled my body! I got a lot better on the jump after the camera was gone too.lol It's awesome when I can clear it cause it's kindof like a table top so when I nail it it looks so cool! When I dont, cartwheels, back flips and front flips! The B just wants more though!

heard rumors that the 5T is the 5Bss kit with extended body mounts etc.
but better mods than the standard 5B

5SC :yes:



Looks like it can take some decent punishment without breaking - nice!

 

[charliejp]

I just got done cleaning it up and there are some signs of wear but nothing broke! It's time for a couple of upgrades!

I just watched them again, and I'm impressed at the beating it took Charlie. Makes me feel better about taking mine out tomorrow. Haven't got to run it at all since the day I picked it up.

 

[charliejp]

Have a blast with it man! I think I'm going to keep mine pretty this weekend. Maybe put some new parts on this week?

Yeah, I have chargers running all over the house; the Baja, the radio batteries, the Stampede packs, camera batteries, video camera batteries, it's ridiculous. Uh oh, the mod bug has bit

 

[charliejp]

That bug hit the day I visited DDMs site! I couldn't justify it though until I needed something. So I needed a new plug wire and well something caused that so I might as well get the 5T protector and see if that helps. And as I was pulling her out of the bath tub last night I noticed the lower front balls were getting a little loose so I'd better get that fixed with some RPM arms, right? Makes complete sense to me! Wonder how long until my new $1000 "toy" turns into a $5000 "toy" that I can't sell for $500? lol I will sell my Savage first!
