NEW FG BAJA BUGGY!!!!!
I have just bought this from my lhs for a steal at just £400!!
i think its absoloutly awesome even though its just reli a new shell and tires
however it looks for cooler than stock marders and handles far better with the new tires
it was much faster in a straight line than the HPI baja and handling is not far off dare i say
would like to know what you think and if anyone has 1 of these
cheers

I like it, looks nice. I was trying to see if I could put the roll cage, and body from an FG Baja on my Firehammer, but I can't find all the parts yet.

Anyone know what pipe they show on the FG Baja on the Large Scale RC site? All the pics I see in the the ads have a black tuned pipe of some type. Looks like it might be the Samba pipe. I like the one in this pic.

I think with a tight coupler it shouldn't be a problem. I know with that type of exahust that sometimes it happens. At least it is an easy fix.

Does the new FG Baja have more ground clearance than the normal Marder? By looking at pics the Baja looks like it has more ride height because the new tire and rim combo look taller overall. If so that is great.

and more. something must have changed here I had to make the pictures really small.
Maybe these will help with your clearance question.

Thanks for the pics. It just makes me want the new FG Baja even more than before. It will be my winter project. Want to buy one and get the alum motor mounts, either the FG pipe or Samba pipe for it, and a few other things to have it ready for spring. Also a wild paint job.
