As the title says, this will be a total shelf queen. "shhhh, she will run across the sand dunes a time or two".
I have a long way to go and I've been on this one for about 6 months I think. It is all aluminum and she will hold a 45cc engine.
Most of the parts I have so far I can't install until I get other parts that are needed first but again, this will take some time.
She is going to be sweet...

Dude! it's time to reinforce that shelf, better yet a pedestal with a bulletproof display case over it. :thumbs-up: Gonna be killer!
 
Thanks guys. I'm sure there will be some green parts here and there but I haven't seen much at all anywhere.
I've seen red parts but not sure I want to go that route.
Definitely has to be a hefty shelf.
 
Yes it will be a new motor and I'm going with 45cc on this one. My other baja I installed the shorty kit and it has the 31.5cc. She wheelies like a mofo.
If it was going to be a "often" runner I would go with a O'Neill Brothers Racing engine. They are spendy but haul arse.
These 1/5 scale gas rigs are very fun.
Someday I will buy a Kraken Vekta.5 . I was going to build one but the parts were at the time, hard to find.
