I have a Jeti Spin200 for sale if you're interested. They work great with pistol grip radios and all you need is the program box for it. You'll still be faster than the gas version and you'll have a more efficient running set up. One other member in the forum converted an HPI Baja and there will be another member doing one as well.

my local hobby store has the new HPI Baja 5T and i am thinking about converting it. the chassis is perfect for holding two batteries on each side like the new ERevo. i think it would be awesome. plus the Baja 5 has tons of upgrade parts avail on the market. it could be a real sweet setup. how does the converted Baja 5B do? have you seen it run? any pics?

I thought the same thing when I was looking at it today. But those side trays are removable, and kinda flimsy. That area is going to take some beefing up.
Its one heavy monster....
