I was curious if anyone actually has all of the equipment needed to convert a Baja or equivalent 1/5th. IE Motor good for 8s and pushing the weight, a motor mount, pinion gear, and big ol' batteries? And if so what you were using for motors and a mount.

Just wondering if we had a controller how many people would actually be ready for a controller today.

Thanks for the feedback fellas!

I'm don't have a RC ready yet but I have plans to build somthing 1/5 scale soon.
However, I'm more than willing and ready to buy a controller whenever one becomes availible. So count me for one !


I retired from RC, now life is all about guns and long range shooting.

1/5th scale? No, I'm not into that (yet).

But I do want an E Revo on 8S really bad.

I already run 8S in my light weight truggy. Super efficient and haven't had any problems with overheating and getting less then 30 minutes on 25C lipos. I'll probably wait a bit until everyone is happy to get one though.
