Wow! It sounds like a beast! I'm just curious about the run time on it...

Now THATS what a baja should be.

5th scale electrics are lame. IMO

Batts are way too expensive for what little runtime you get compared to a gasser. Money is better spent on a full mod engine and tuned pipe if power is what is wanted.

I do agree with Robmob, the brushless setup is certainly very cool and impressive to be pushing around such a large R/C. The short run times are just killer, it's very hard to beat the gas run times, plus you can simply drive up next to you add more fuel and keep going.

The price tag, is MSRP which is always much higher than actual retail price.

With 5th scale rc's, i think gas is the coolest part of this scale(besides size). Although 60 mph and 10 hp is impressive..I think the noise of gas gives it the extra cool factor:
