Thank You everybody for compliments...I'm so happy knowing you like my project.
For Othello:
I get inspiration from your baja project also! I like your work and videos!
My baja RTR with savage bowtie and 2x3s zippy lipo 5000 mah weights 6,7 kg.
A 3s 5000 Zippy lipo is 412 gr, so my baja without batteries should be about 5.8 kg.
One Rear Baja wheels plus a badland tire is 480 gr., while a savage bowtie (rim + tire) is 212 gr.
I will weight also front complete wheels as soon as I will receive front bowtie tires for baja.
Anyway the estimated weight RTR with 4 baja wheels should be about 7.6 kg.
To make front drive shaft I used an aluminum tube with a real cvd cutted at half and inserted an half in a side and an half in the other side of the tube. I drilled the tube and the cvd, then I locked the half cvds in the alluminum tube with two savage hex pin.
I would also close the chassis in front sides with two light carbon carters.
Anyway, I want to remake the front cvd in steel because alluminum tube is too smooth.
To be able using original baja wheels I made 4 aluminum adaptor, but I want remake them in steel too.
I searched for Savage 5T hex, but I did not understand if they are good for my use. Do you know HPI code for them and if I could use them also if I mounted the savage 17mm hex kit?
Sorry for my English not so good, I hope that I wrote is understandable.
