Are the baja's really worth it?
If you can afford the initial investment, then yes, definitely. After the cost of the car itself, there are basically no expenses other than fuel ($6). It's not like a nitro where you spend 40 bucks on fuel every week, and a single tank of gas runs for over 40 minutes.
Obviously, though, parts are going to scale up in price.
As far as fun factor goes, there is no equal. These things are as durable as it gets (except when you run it straight on into a drain pipe :\ ) and you can't beat the sound.
There is minimal maintenance. All you bring with you when you run is the remote and the car, and maybe a charger and gas if you're going to be running it for a while.
That sounds friging sweet. I may consider getting one with my income taxes. I did read they run gasoline with 2cyle oil mixed. something like 25:1. Drain pipe huh? Sounds painful. Bet that made a horrible thud.![]()
You have no idea. I was just about ready to go home when suddenly-- THUNK!
It is a sound no RC'er EVER wants to hear. My heart actually leapt when I heard it and saw the right front tire go flying.
Good news, though. My replacement parts come in the mail tomorrow. The damage wasn't all that bad considering what I did. Just a bent upper chassis brace and a slightly bent skidplate.
