I didn't realize you were the one that were on the live stream with KPOP last night! Thanks for stopping by and checking my video out! I will get a driving video put together and will discuss the driving characteristics. I will also do some more in depth videos while I install some of the upgrade parts that were sent along with the kit to show the details of the transmission/steering and overall layout etc. The weather turned to total garbage just recently so I need to make a day trip to get to a place worthy of the maiden run!

Nah after a while youll need to do a full tear down. Took it down to the bolts. Anything that could come apart was apart and every peice cleaned and polished. Had mine (baja 5t) almost a decade now! But also did some upgrades and a make over at the same time.

So far I'll stick to the Baja 5b, also it seems to have no mounts for led lights on top, front and rear that would be a nice touch on the electric version for night time running in the neighborhood streets because you will not have the loudness of the gasoline engine.

That is excellent! The battery dimensions I list in the video @6:21 The length and width are less important than height as you have a pretty tall amount of space to fit batteries. You can use up to 8S. I found some through CNHL. They are 8200 mah LiHV packs. I needed to use my own connector (I changed out to QS8 on the batteries and speed controller). They are a bit of a tight fit in the battery tray by about 4mm but I made them work.
