As far as supporting HPI goes, you can take that to an extreme and say that hobbyists should pick just one mfg and only buy cars from that one mfg. But that would be dumb...

And it is not like HPI has started the 5th scale class, or has a ton invested in the baja design. It is not that revolutionary.

I bought a used baja, so who am I supporting?

Single Mothers..



And I dont see the point of this- they both probably come out of the same factory in china.. Either way your supporting that factory...

I stopped supporting single mothers when I found alcohol could get me in much cheaper.

As far as snowman's info goes, sounds like the KM baja is alot like an emaxx after you put the 1st al part on it, everything breaks after that.

Looking at the hpi baja I have I am really not that impressed. Sure it is big and heavy, but I am not so sure it needs to be that heavy. The chassis could be alot lighter, and designed as a 1 piece to reduce the number of fasteners and material overlaps. I guess the size of the 2 stroke motor dictated the design, but if you were going electric from the start the chassis could be made much simpler and lighter.

I am still designing the dual motor mount for my baja... Got sidetracked with the savage projects...

Easy on the single mothers now... Everyone's mother was single at one point in their lives....

And will you finish one damn project at a time... Geezz...
