I was wondering if they still made the losi mega-baja? And if not, why did they quit manufacturing it? Also I was looking at a hooby shop online called Red Rocket Hobbies, they still new ones in stock. I was wondering if you guys have any knowledge of RED ROCKET HOBBIES and how they are to deal with. I really like the looks of the thing so any input before i buy one( providing they actually still have them) would be very helpful. kdogg

To the best of my knowledge, the Mega Baja was discontinued due to not having the proper licensing with Volkswagen over the use of the "Bug" style body.
I have never heard of Red Rocket Hobbies, so i can't help you there.

I have a Losi LST, which is/was the first of the monster truck series from Losi and the truck every other monster in their lineup is based off of. They are solid bashers and are as race-ready as you can get in a RTR.
Like Randy said, the Baja was discontinued because of licensing issues. If you can get your hands on one I would HIGHLY recommend it!

Get it if you can. Save the body and bash with another one. I have heard of Red Rocket but have never shopped from there. Sorry I can't be more help.

I have a mega baja thats in mint condition. No scratches or cracks i the Bug body. Only ran it a few times and I really like the way it runs. If they were rare back in 2009, I must be holding a freaking gem now!

Yes they are hard to come by for sure. I would not run it and sell it to a crazy person who is will to shell out some cash for it. But that is just me.

I always like the Baja Bug lids. My micro t came with the bug lid, and once I learned of the copyright claims, I took it off and still have it nice and pristine.
