supposedly only 100 of these will be released?

my lhs said he managed to get two of the 100.

what are your thoughts?


by the way, how much extra $$$ did you guys spend after the initial purchase for upgrades/repairs etc?

perhaps, but the rtr radio and servos are probably inadequate, and the paddle tyres are not that versatile... it might still be cheaper to buy the SS kit, and get a decent radio?

If anyone is interested in these for $1300, they come with a charger/discharger worth like $150 and 2 pipes, one uninstalled, better than stock. We are limited to how many we get but drop me a PM, I know Radical Hobbies are doing them for $1430.

Cheers

Boutzb - just go the SS kit mate.

Here is a link to the specs on mine: http://www.ausrc.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11924

i have spent (on top of $1300 for the kit) - actually, I don't want to know.

But I will skirt around the edges of my self conscience.
  • DX3R - you MUST get this. I have used the other boys 3.0's on their baja's, and the response rate is a lot better on the 3R. That was $370 (but you can use this on all your cars - 2.4gig, DSM2 - ohh raaaaght. Diggidy diggidy)
  • 18kg digital Servo (steering - comes with one from HPI, but I broke it!!) - $120
  • 13kg digital Servo - Throttle - $70
  • Outwearers. Don't know - check pwrslide racing.
  • 4600 Battery (a MUST) $50
  • DDM Dom Pipe - approx $150 (comes with a tuned pipe from HPI if $$ are an issue - but the Dominator pipe is exactly that)
  • Drift assist - dont bother - is from my drifter
  • Robinson Racing gears $115
  • Proline Badlands - $40 - $50 (can't remember)
  • 29cc big bore kit (can't remember - but, if you get this, it is not much different to the std SS 26cc, without the next item...)
  • ALLANACH RACE PORTING - this should be standard on all Bajas. If there is one thing you are going to drop off the list, don't let it be this one.
  • Darksoul beadlocks - Do not ask.
Total - don't know. Not going to even pretend to add it up. Aim for $2k, and not many people out there will catch you. And from here, all I can now say is :lalala:

Pls don't tell me what all that adds up to.

Anfo - the two pipes they come with are both HPI pipes. And the $$ for them are HPI $$. The x-can is sh!t. More of a silencer than anything. The HPI tuned pipe is ok, but nothing on the Doms.

Maybe i can save on some of those costs by waiting until the next time i go to hk. If the aussie $ continue to go up, i can probably get them for under 1.5k

i'm not in any rush to get a baja anyway...
