Lipo's brackets done.


I mounted the ESC on the underside of the roof, it's out of the way and the wires are much neater coming down to meet the battery's and motor

This thing is definitely awesome. I have had great luck with those Turnigy HV Titanium servos so far. I run the 2S version, HV767.

I think it might have had a slight bend in it and with the torque and speed of the 1717 it just twisted.

15.4lbs... not bad, my Savage conversion was about a pound heavier.

I would rather have one like yours than a real baja, much cooler, lighter, BL, and 4wd!

I have the cars that I really wanted before I got them ;-)

Thanks mate it is pretty awesome, I got a lot satisfaction in building it and it's great feeling when your driving it knowing you built it.

Building it yourself tends to have that effect, gotta love that feeling. My rebuilds and minor customization just isn't cutting it for me right now. I think it's time for me too build my own monster truck based 5b buggy, I've been admiring everyone else's long enough. Although I do still have the 5t body from my failed stretch chassis Revo, descisions descisions.

IMO your Baja looks much more cooler than a real one! Great job! You might want to replace the stock shock for a aluminium one, Losi (and other companys) have got nice anodized shocksfor LST/muggys.

What shock tower is that? And I'm guessing the bulkheads are losi muggy?

Very nice work.

very nice indeed. I have always wanted to do a 5th scale conversion using a truggy as a base...been thinking about it for 3 yrs... I may have to rekindle the idea.

1. MBX-6 T8 1900KV, RX8 ON 4S
2. MBX-5T 1520, MMM ON 5S
3. MBX-5 ONROAD CONVERSION 1515, MMM ON 5S
4. MRX-3 ON ROAD CONVERSION 1512, MMM ON 6S
5. TEN T 2650 T8, MMP ON 3S

You should do one made, it's very rewarding. I think i have seen your stretched revo on youtube in a car park going over a small jump, it looked like the counter lever suspension setup isn't up the size of 5th scale.

Yeah the bulkheads are muggy and i think from memory the rear tower is a LST
