Baja 5t Brushless Conversion Street Bashing.

It's a Hobbywing 150A esc, CC 1520 motor. Don't mean to hijack this thread at all. I'll start another one if anyone wants to know more info out of respect.

Heck, dont worry about it. Does the 1520 seem to pull your redcat around pretty well. What kind of top speed are you getting. Thanks.

nice, that makes me want to build one so bad lol

Nice video, I really like the 5T's. Think I'd still rather the RedCat because of the 4wd ?

I was skeptical about the 1520 at first, and in fact ran a 1717 as was the popular choice from others who've already purchased Redcats before I did. However, I've found that the 1520 is perfect. With stock pinion I think it will top out somewhere between 45-50 mph. IMO, more than enough speed for a 1/5 scale on a track against the other offerings out there. 4wd combined with the advantage of lighter weight makes this thing seem more like an athlete than other's I've seen out there. There are wheel adaptors sold which enable the use of Baja wheels (for better wheel/tire choices) but they aren't exactly cheap. Once I splurge for those, I think I'll be done (and quite happy) with this thing. Once I can find a camera person, I'll post vids.

in hindsight I absolutely would have built a redcat instead of a 5b. It's 4wd, it's cheaper and lighter.

A leopard 5692 would fit and be a cool running powerhouse.

Oh well. My 5b is on the way.
