re 1/5 upgrade

[red bob]

hi there seems to be around 6/7 different choices ,having made a bad choice
in the 1/10 scale i want to avoid doing the same in 1/5 ;hpi bja seems to be
the bench mark but its at a premium price ,not a problem if its long term
reliability ,but is there an alternative?.thanks for any help.

The Baja is a nice rig, but the Losi 5ive-T is superior in just about every way.

I have 3 Baja's (2 B's and SC) that don't even get touched anymore since I got a 5ive.

I don't have a Losi, but have heard the same story...
In fact, I have two bajas that that I'll be selling since they just sit and I want a Losi

The Losi is awesome, if I had somewhere to race I'd have one. 1/5 scales are cool, but you need a LOT of room to really have fun with one.
