thanks man,
it hasnt seen much discussion in a while. i will post some updated pics and vids in the spring most likely. i sold my 2215 and plan to buy a 2220 and get the disc brakes on and then i will post some more vids. i just recently sold all my other conversions except this one. this thing has been the most fun rc i have ever had for sure. those baja shocks are just incredible!

what body is that?




truck looks like a blast, turned out great

[suicideneil]

Thats really rather beautiful

[Ryu James]

thanks guys. the body is the proline desert rat body for the baja 5b. its not the best looking but its much better than the stock body. unfortunately the 5t bodies are just too long to work on the rampage but this desert rat body fits pretty good. it makes the truck look much larger too.

i hat to say it but my baby is going up for sale. check the general discussion area for more details. or pm me.

Sorry to see it go. Hope you aren't done with large scale BL.

thanks bro. my income has suffered big time with the changing economy. just threw it up on ebay, along with a bunch of other stuff recently. but i am far from out of large scale brushless. its all i plan to do in the future. in fact, i really just have my sights set on the MCD Evo 3 ultimate for a conversion maybe in the summer...i hope. but i will do a sweet conversion with the MCD at some point. check this out. just found this tonight by chance. its some nice work.

Hey, Ryu. I'm ordering a motor for my Baja 5T conversion. I saw your 1/5 truck on HBF (Nice!). I was wondering if the 2220 would fit in the 5T. Do you happen to remember the length of the motor?

P.S. Please get another build going soon. I love following your over the top project threads!

Depending on how you brace your chassis, and how your motor mount is set up, a 2220 should fit fine. I run a 2230 in my 5T.

Have any pics?

Cool, billy. I've always heard that the 2230 was overkill and uncontrollable. Is that even slightly true?

Check my "HPI Bajas" Thread in general discussion. There are some pics of my buggy and truck in there. Think the BL truck is on the second page.

Overkill? yes, though my Bajas are not light-weight. Both of mine are over 30 pounds RTR. No "pointless" aluminum, like arms and stuff. But lots of things to make it stronger.

Uncontrollable? That would depend on your throttle finger.

Thanks, billy. I really would like to know the size and setup of Mike's Baja conversion kit.

Are the specs finalized yet Mike? Any info at all to share? Please, I'm an RC BL junkie and I need a fix! I'm jonesin' bad!
