I was curious if anyone actually has all of the equipment needed to convert a Baja or equivalent 1/5th. IE Motor good for 8s and pushing the weight, a motor mount, pinion gear, and big ol' batteries? And if so what you were using for motors and a mount.

Just wondering if we had a controller how many people would actually be ready for a controller today.

Thanks for the feedback fellas!

I would. Have a Baja 5t running a NEU2230 using my custom motor mount. It has been run at 8s and 10s already. I have several gear ratios that I can use. Would be a case of me wiring in the speedo and charging up some batteries.

Ready now. I have a 2220 on 12S. Using an Ice HV160 with a Pistix. I have a godawful homemade mount that is an embarrassing combo of Fine Design clamps and my own hack machining.
I have heard rumors that Castle is working on their own Baja kit. No comment, right Tom.

Make me the 3rd person. I have three 1/5 scale cars that I would use.

#1- 1/5 electric on-road- I would just drop in your ESC.

#2- Custom made 1/5 scale Rally- I would need to buy a motor.

#3- MCD 1/5 Dessert Truck- I would need to buy a motor and machine a mount.

Have 4 sets of 4S Thunderpower batts.

Have UBECs that can handle up to 24 cells.

I'm don't have a RC ready yet but I have plans to build somthing 1/5 scale soon.
However, I'm more than willing and ready to buy a controller whenever one becomes availible. So count me for one !


I retired from RC, now life is all about guns and long range shooting.

1/5th scale? No, I'm not into that (yet).

But I do want an E Revo on 8S really bad.

I already run 8S in my light weight truggy. Super efficient and haven't had any problems with overheating and getting less then 30 minutes on 25C lipos. I'll probably wait a bit until everyone is happy to get one though.

I think just "Nuts" would be appropriate for such insanity. I knew there had to be people out there running some of these setups already. I've seen videos of a 10s setup with a Neu 2225, and all I can say is...wow. I didn't think you could move 20 pounds around like that, but it was doing it and then some. It's good to see there are setups out there you could take you for a spin around the block.

Now that's a video I'd like to see! And I can't comment on something I know nothing about. Sometimes it's better to not know and plausible deniability can be a powerful ally. I doubt you'll see too much hardware from us, but sometimes you never know.
