Baja 5t Brushless Conversion Performance

[Kirkinsb]

Ok, I attached a Garmin Forerunner 101 GPS to my baja 5t today and got quite a bit of hard stats. And took some temps as well after a full pack run with two Hyperion G3 35-65c 5500mah 4S to equal 8s. Temps were all at the very end of the run...I ran it hard up and down my street at full throttle for 60% of the run.

1. Temp outside 55 degrees
2. Motor temp 116 (with no fans running yet)
3. lipos temp 111
4. Esc temp 76 (with no fan running yet)

5. Total distance of run 4.7 miles
6. Total time of run 16 minutes
7. Top speed during run 52.3mph
8. Weight of baja 5t ready to run 28.9lbs.

Truck ran great...Traction was the limiting factor on acceleration. Acceleration was definately better than my 30.5cc full mod motor....and best of all. I did not piss off my neighbors as I drive it up and down my street.

I know a brushless baja is not for everyone...but for those of us who have owned a baja for years...and now need to keep things quiet, this is a great alternative to a two stroke engine screaming up and down the block attracting unwanted attention.
