Fg Baja 4wd Brushless

[Ryu James]

i have been looking and planning for my large scale conversion which i will start this spring. i was going to convert my 1/5 on road smartech but decided against it cuz on road just doesnt do it for me. so here is my dilemma now. i really want 4wd but the HPI baja is so much more friendly in every way. it is really the only large scale kit that exists in my area and parts are and upgrades are super easy to get. the other large scale kits are virtually obsolete around here. so i am torn. do i go with a 4wd kit which is what i want but then have troubles getting upgrades and parts (or have to wait 2 weeks every time i order). or do i sacrifice the 4wd and get the HPI and have and endless amount of possible hop ups and parts always avail?

from you HPI owners out there is it possible to make the 5b or 5t 4wd? has anyone tried? does anyone have a hookup with somebody that could make some fat 8mm CVDs?

here is one that i am really looking at. only draw back is this 4wd system is belt instead of shaft.

anyone out there owned one of these?

how does the 5b do brushless style? the last 2wd brushless i had couldnt hold the road worth a shi*. wheelies and peel outs if you wanted to get on it at all. i just like 4wd so much more.

anyway, i am looking forward to this build. post lots of pics.
