Gonna have to start bugging the wife to get me a Baja 5b for Christmas now!

That's a 2028 motor -- using the same scale as our 15xx and 17xx motors.

It's a beast.

Our test Baja goes 0-50mph in about 2 seconds. Tires are a big problem, as they are treadless after about 5 minutes of runtime on pavement.

Fun fun fun!!!

This puts a smile on my face!

I LOVE the metal casing/heatsink that attaches to the chassis! I've wished the MMM was like that for a long time. It looks great Mr. Patrick! That motor of course is huge!

Sure would be different in a 4WD...

Yeah... Tires would last 6 minutes, and it would do 0-50 in 1.8 seconds.

Patrick,

The article said the Mamba XL is available now and the motor and mount are coming in a couple of weeks, I've gone looking for the ESC on your site and your resellers with no luck (aside from pending orders but no stock). Is it actually on the market?

I saw this setup at AUVSI and I've been itching to setup my Baja 5T with it ever since.
