Default Pics of the Baja SS (Slowly getting some goodies)

Well I finished the build around 2 weeks ago I think and I got some goodies the other day. New tires, rings, and I picked up the rcscrewz screw kit. I also have a good size order coming from ebay with a little bit of everything. Some essentials and some shiny show stuff.

I have to say I am really enjoying this thing. Runs awesome and looks so kewl doing it.

Here's some pics. The first few are the latest.





And here are the build up pics.

My kit was missing some parts so I did more with the rear of the buggy in the beginning.

These pics were when I was getting excited to see what this thing was actually going to look like. Before my build I have never even seen one in person.

Well here it is in all its glory. The body turned out not bad. Is rough in a few parts but over all I like it.











Here are a few pics beside the LST 2 just to show size difference.

And this last 2 are just ones with stickers but before the new tires and rings. My Goodies package should be here this week so there will be more pics to follow.

Hope you guys enjoy.

Yea man I totally did.

I am someone that understands what RTR has done for the industry and for that I don't bash rtrs like allot of people, however, when it comes to this I 100% say to anyone don't cheap out and buy a clone, don't even buy the RTR go staright for the SS and take your time and enjoy. Watching this thing grow and come to life was killer kool!! And even with out the $600.00 plus upgrades the orange is Wicked!!!!!!!!!!!

WickedTXT right? I think that is you. I sure miss your incredible clod build threads. If your 5Bs are anything like your clods we are in for a treat.

If you aren't WickedTXT, I apologize for the confusion.

Yea its me. I changed over to just "Wicked" a few years ago.

This won't be just a bling machine but it will have a few pieces to give it a nice touch.

However had a crappy today. Took it out and about 15 mins in to the bash by steering servo melted. The connection from the on/off switch and the battery melted causing some major screw ups. Luckily for me the only thing that went was that servo. Batt, rx, and Th servo are fine. Not to sure what happen though.

This happened to my FG too,the current that went through the wires and the on/off-switch was too strong and the wires too thin,causing the wires to melt and even melt through the wires to the servo and shortcut it.The servo got totally grilled,it smelled like giraffepoo[sm=bananahead.gif]Im not using any on/off-switch anymore,i.m.o. totally unnessesery as it is causing a weak link in the electric,and i never store the battery in the car either so i dont have the problem with draining the batteries.I have made a connector on the radiobox,i just plug the battery in there

Hey man sorry it happen to you too. I always unplug my battery when I am done anyways so I think I will do the same thing and just scrap the whole switch idea.
