All of the really nice gas engines I have seen are quite expensive... For me I would invest the money in an electric setup before I bought anything high end gas. Or I could steal the 75cc engine off my husky chainsaw! 6.5 hp twin choke and tons of torque. I was cutting a 2' tree last weekend and it did not even feel like it was putting a load on it...

Anyways, I only have to buy about 250 bucks worth of stuff to convert the baja, and I was mocking up the motors earlier and it looks like I will have plenty of room for them and the escs in the gas engine location. Plus the lipos will fit where the tank sits. I can even keep the stock radio tray. I may have to move the brake servo, not sure if the linkage will clear the top motor.

I also plan to run front brakes, so I may need a pair of servos, but the m11 can handle that. the 4th channel is a slave to the throttle channel, so I can even bias the brakes thru the radio.
