I know the noise is all part of it but I find the 'NING NING sound really irritating. I even prefer the sound of nitro to these things. Nice pics though.

You haven't really bashed a Baja until you've busted a chassis!


...I'm on my 3rd :D

i agree with everything you said except the ball part :no:

its not a good bash unless you bring it home undriveable, racers try not to brake anything, basher try to brake everything

I guess im neither a racer, or basher then. Guess i'm just an "owner" One of my new hostile boots failed today and im pissed. So much for these being the toughest.

Freezey baby- it' okay man, stuff breaks. 5b's are one of the most maintenance intensive r/c's there are. Right behind stinky nitro, anyhoo...

It's cool that you are one of the most conservative regular posters here. We need someone's good sense to rein us in now and then. Despite the love/hate relationship with Linc (as in he loves to hate you:slap:) your input is welcomed.

Most people get Monster Trucks (savage) because of the size and ability to overcome obstacles. You never mentioned missing this aspect while driving the 5b. You did mention your dislike for maintenance.

I think you should try a brushless truggy or buggy. They are tough as nails out of the box (low maintainance) and have the plug and play that you seem to like. A truggy is a little more bashable simply because the larger tires overcome greater obstacles, but a buggy gets by on a bit less power and because of the reduced rotational weight of the wheels and tires requires even less maintainence.

Yep.:na:

Yeah get an 1/8 buggy, convert it and beat it like Harold does when he watches scrambled cable tv....
