Go the 5B. I spent the weekend playing with mine. The missus didn't care when my 5B turned up cause it only cost $20 . They are great fun to drive and go for ever on a tank of fuel but are hopeless over jumps. That is where the e-revo would come into it's own.
Nice video. I didn't mean that they couldn't jump, by hopeless I just meant there is no correcting them. The 1/8th stuff is so easy to correct if is comes off the jump a bit crocked. The jumps we have are no where near that big so they tend to flick the back end up with the baja and forward flips with the baja don't do those rear shock towers any good. That jump looked like a lot of fun and the ground looks soft too which is a good thing.
There is a 4X track not to far away from me with jumps similar but I wouldn't want to rip up their track with the baja. Maybe the brushless savage when the MMM comes back. I have hit those jumps with my old savage 25 with stuffed engine and it just wouldn't clear the lip. The LRP .28 in it now would make it clear them with ease.
