Well, to me at least Here it is, all done with the exception of a beautiful chrome wing which is on order, and hydro brakes. I added a fair bit of weight to it, but the engine I put in it is as beastly as they come. It is going to be incredibly fast

Nice That pic makes it look very small...

sheograth

Better?

Nick2618

yeah. now it looks HUGE!!!

I cant say i like the pipe thou. I think it should be under the body. Not really possiable with that setup. But o well...

sheograth

Yeah, its a massive pipe. By far the best one out there though.

s7jstep1

i like it. looks expensive. i cant even afford a stock 5b[]

wave waker

nice show....btw, how many hp on that motor? if u don't mind..

sheograth

5.5 - 6 with that pipe and the mods, monstrous torque as well. Its as big as they come for RCs

It wasnt all too expensive, around $2300 so far.

calvino

lol, I would be a little worried about the pipe on the outside of the baja if you rolled... NOW TAKE SOME VIDS

sheograth

Its actually one of the better protected pipes out there, its below the roll cage and completely inside the wheelbase.

s7jstep1

yeah for you. thats more than i got for my ford ranger when i sold it

sheograth

UPDATE:

I just got yelled at by my girlfriend, she came home to find the Baja on the dining table

s7jstep1

That is hands down the most gorgeous 5B I have ever seen. I am sure it will be a beast with that motor! I cant wait to see a vid!

I am jealous... I am just to afraid to go 1/5 scale. I can't control myself with 1/8, 1/10, and 1/18 where prices are much cheaper. Those beadlocks are SICK. I always kind of knew the 5b was big from magazines and stuff, but the first time I saw one it blew me away.

I could sell a couple of my other trucks and pick one up. Hmmm....

nothinbetr2do

you should, i just got an ss last week. these things are awesome. and once you get past the purchase, they are super cheap to run.

If cash is a problem go to kingmotors.cn and they have exact clones where only the receiver box is different but you can still buy a stock HPI one in. I know the idea of clones are bad but HPI needs to bring down their price. It's been there since it first came out...

They are located in China but it costs $390 for the actual car and 145 for (EMS) shipping which takes 4-5 days. Although you can pay $20-30 depending on where your closest port is but that takes any where from 20-30 days...

sheograth

They "look" like exact clones, but they arent. The aluminum is of lower grade, the shocks are shoddy, and the engine is NOT a chung yang or Zenoah.

If thats ok with you fine, but dont think youre getting some great deal. You're getting what you pay for.

I am testing a Kingmotors right now and I bash the living $#!+ out of it and it has yet to break. Also as far as the mtor goes it could keep up with friends Baja 5b so it can't be that bad.

Can we get some more pictures of this king cause I want to see under the body the outside looks amazing. Also some pictures of thos hydrolic brakes. I had no idea you could put that on a R/C! (I'm starting to get in giant scales)

sheograth

I dont have the hydro brakes yet, but they're very common in high quality large scale vehicles. Theyre quite reasonable, it would come to around $500 for 2 front and the rear driveline brake.

Sheograth, that thing looks dialed to the max, what an outstanding ride you built there. Any vids of getting it dirty?

sheograth

I'll take her out this saturday, and will post vids. It wont get too dirty, since its going to be mostly on road.

sheograth

Gah, weather is terrible. Gonna have to wait another week. By then my FS touring car will be here and I can drag race them

TheTruckingGuru

Wow looking good Sheograth. Don't forget to protect your car by keeping the Baja in a black plastic garbage bag
