As far as fun goes, unless you have a really big space (that gravel pit you had vids of looks good) the baja is not much fun. And 2wd gets old. But have fun!
I can only imagine where you would be now if you had some decent packs for that flux, say 2 3s g3 hyperions and a smaller pinion.... You will miss 4wd and you will miss brushless, especially when you get a sock full of 2 stroke....
But have fun. And give the baja forums a try, lots of knowledge there.

for the short time i had my baja clone, i drove it with the stock can pipe for about 1/2 a gallon and then 1/2 with a tuned pipe. trust me freezebyte, if you want more power, don't get a bigger engine. a decent tuned pipe will add may more power than a bigger engine. my baja clone went from being a complete slug to pulling wheelies just by changing the pipe. that's actually how i fried the diff
. luckily, the 5t has the alloy diff, so you shouldn't have that problem.
these things are fun, but only if you know the right spots to bash them. i think you will have a ton of fun with your 5t, especially at those sweet bash spots from your savage vids.
