Brushless hpi baja rc-monster

Just like the Acer bearings girls! He could do the whole calendar thing with the babe of the month.

I don't wanna see this thread fade away Mike have you got any news for us. Really looking forward to the conversion

I too am wondering what is going on. I have had a baja waiting over 6 months now for this conversion kit. I was initially a tad bit optimistic so I ripped out tank, motor and everything to have it ready.

Mike what is keeping it from being released, what kind of timeframe are we looking at, do you have an idea of the price range we are going to cough up for it, etc, etc, etc?

Throw us a bone here :)

To the top!

Here is a video of Mike's kit run with a Neu 2215 750KV and a Hydra HV 240. Just something to hold your interest while we wait for it to show up in the store.

Thanks for the video. I was trying to decide on whether to convert mine or not, I will be converting my Baja, that was pretty amazing.

That video must have been from one of the first kits around. I have no clue as to how much will have changed by now but some must have as this clip is 8+ months old...

Man I wish we had these kits out soon. Peak season here now and I had hoped all winter to be racing a brushless large scale baja.

Hi !

Would a kb xl motor with 700kv and a turnigy 1000ahv esc be enough to use in a baja conversion ?

Will Mike's, Baja kit work with the Baja 5T or is it only for the 5B?

Sorry, no. That's a little bit too inefficient of a motor to run reliably in such a heavy vehicle.

the kit works in BOTH the 5b and 5t. Buy two!!

Any news Mike?

[RC-Monster Mike]

I will have the 1st batch finished by this time next week - I should get them mostly complete over the holiday weekend. :)

[thomatrix]

Great news Mike. Probably comes as no surprise that I have been waiting for this to happen for a while.

Let us know in here when it's available on your e-shop.

..so is there a reliable power system for this available? The 23cc in my wife's 5B is getting tired (having issues holding a good idle, crankshaft has play in it)
