I personally would go with a 30 series Lehner aswell just to be a little different. Neu's are nice but when you want your project to stick out you'll want something unique and uncommon. Lehner and Pletty is the way if thats what your looking for.

I have 2215 2Y, planning on 10s to start. I will post pics tonight of the project. Funny how this whole brushless baja thing has started to gather steam. On the HPI forum, at first it was total bash the BL guy to now, were alot of people are doing one, want one.
My question is this:
Whats the best way to get the esc manufactors to produce the higher voltage/amp handling esc we need? MGM says they will have a 12s 400 amp version out in May, but thats not a firm date. I would like CC to make something too.
Oh, we also should start a contest for the first guy to get his BL baja to 100 mph.

CC is supposedly working on a 12S version of the Monster Max I do believe.

Also, not sure if I would want to pilot a 100mph 25lb. brick.

I would, sounds like fun!

I would too. Why not start off of a 5T base?

now this would be a motor to put in a baja

you would have to gear it really high. im not sure how big the spurs are but your only turning 2350 rpm even a 1:1 ratio would be too low. say the spur is 40 tooth your pinion would need to be like 50 teeth.

you would have gobs of torque tho so maybe you could even run 60/40.

Well, looking at what I have I think I will try to fit 2 of the 1521 2y motors I have. Just need to finalize the deal on the 5b...

It is definitely worth a shot. The worst-case scenario being: It doesn't work and you have to shelve the project until you can buy more stuff.

I paln to do this with a little modification to the chassis as possible. Since I am getting the 5b rtr I will keep everything and if I do not like it I will just put it back together and sell it. I also plan to run it a fair amount and see how it does gas powered before I convert it.

I honestly think that 2 1521 motors with 2 100amp escs will work fine. I do wonder if the batts wil be up to the task though... 4500 30c 10s is good for around 6.5hp...
