I used Neumotor 1521/1Y (1577 rpm/v) and a Mamba Monster with 2 x 3s zippy lipo 5000mah.
The brake is the esc brake.

Well done. Very simple yet effective chassis. Love the use of a Neu 1521. This would have also been the perfect motor choice for my custom Baja built. What does your custom Baja wheigh with/without batteries?

Did you use the hexes of the Savage 5T to be able to mount Baja wheels? Could you wheigh the rear (and front as soon as you have it) baja wheel with Badland tire? I'm curious how much more they wheigh over my truggy wheels and tires.

What did you do to lengthen the front middle center cvd / Drive shaft? Got any pictures of your drive shaft assembly? Any issues with the length? Did you a steel tube?

Now that i see your paint job i think i should have also limited myself to 2 colors.

Thank You everybody for compliments...I'm so happy knowing you like my project.

For Othello:
I get inspiration from your baja project also! I like your work and videos!

My baja RTR with savage bowtie and 2x3s zippy lipo 5000 mah weights 6,7 kg.
A 3s 5000 Zippy lipo is 412 gr, so my baja without batteries should be about 5.8 kg.
One Rear Baja wheels plus a badland tire is 480 gr., while a savage bowtie (rim + tire) is 212 gr.
I will weight also front complete wheels as soon as I will receive front bowtie tires for baja.
Anyway the estimated weight RTR with 4 baja wheels should be about 7.6 kg.
To make front drive shaft I used an aluminum tube with a real cvd cutted at half and inserted an half in a side and an half in the other side of the tube. I drilled the tube and the cvd, then I locked the half cvds in the alluminum tube with two savage hex pin.
I would also close the chassis in front sides with two light carbon carters.
Anyway, I want to remake the front cvd in steel because alluminum tube is too smooth.
To be able using original baja wheels I made 4 aluminum adaptor, but I want remake them in steel too.
I searched for Savage 5T hex, but I did not understand if they are good for my use. Do you know HPI code for them and if I could use them also if I mounted the savage 17mm hex kit?

Sorry for my English not so good, I hope that I wrote is understandable.
