I'm 100% keen on this. I have a Baja 5sc SS brushless conversion and am looking for a large scale on road brushless. Anyone hear anything else on this?
defo looks like the XL2 ESC and the big 2028 castle motor.
i had a chat to colin @ cfr couple of weeks back and he's testing one and super impressed with its performance so far. i expect these to be in his stock in the very near futue.
Maybe it could on a RWD model but to me that looks like the AWD. I am pretty sure the motor has to go over the driveshaft that runs to the front diff. Not sure but it sure looks like it to me. I think I will be getting one of these if the price isn't astronomical.
The new models are due late June or July, I got a nice glossy brochure in the last order from Colin. There's also brushless conversion kits coming too, as well as a short course truck to take on the Losi. I know where my tax return is going to be spent....heheheh
with the instant torque of that set up if it was rwd all it would do is circle work. i think awd would make a much better 1/5 drifter. i mean there must be a reason all the 1/10 drifters are awd......
that pic is defo a awd, you can see the front drive shafts and yeah would also be belt driven.
Opinion seconded...I won't be getting one of those. I'm going to convert the eBaja back to 2 stroke and sell it off. That'll give me the power plant & $$ to convert one of my FG's to electric.
plenty of second hand on road fg's out there, might be an idea to buy a roller, save some $$ and get the combo you really want.
i wanted a castle motor for my ebaja but couldnt find one at the right price so went the XL2 and Leo combo, so far very happy with it but always have the feeling like I bought second best......
Hi Guys i had my Comp Baja converted to electric and yes they do go like a scaled cat. You need the motor that high to clear the rear belt tensioner housing. 4WD is definately the way to go for on road electric otherwise all you would do is turn tyres. The 2028 Setup is plenty on 8s to push an FG around, but running 10s or 12s is also good. I was also quite surprised as to how well the belt and shafts held up. I was worried that i would do a drive belt but it didnt miss a beat.
