FDM Hpi E-Baja 5b

[JERRY2KONE]

Come on we all knew that a baja 5B would be converted sooner or later. That thing is pretty sweet needless to say, but the price reflects not only the material used but obviously their time as well. Lets be real here most of us would love to have it, but not at that price, because a lot of us could just build it on our own for less. Just a guess, but the buggy runs about $1000. The batteries are approx $400. motor $400. ESC like $500 and we will give them $500 for misc build materials, which adds up to about $2800 if we were to purchase and build this project. They probably got a few breaks on their purchases as a friendly slide, and Yea you could nickle and dime some of the parts, but that is a very real figure.

So is the purchase of this thing worth it? I guess it depends on how bad you want the E-Baja 5B(rare), and how limited your talent and resouces are. I would love to have that puppy in my toy collection, but I have enough projects going on already and that is more money then I am willing to spend at the monent. It will be a nice toy for someone out there. So if you have the money and your game for playing with a $3000 toy then go for it. I know that two of my SuperMaxx trucks have about that much in them already. So why not????
