RE: Baja 5B vs. Duratrax Firehammer
I'd give reasons to get the Baja over the FH, since an ugly post will only anger others.
I have only a Baja, and I just got it. It's basically stock, except for metal gears in the servo, and that I gutted the stock pipe. I must say that this thing is amazing. It's extremely fast. And you will be surprised at how quickly it will cover ground. It's scary. I'm running in a yard that's 300+ feet long, and I can only hold it at full throttle for maybe 3 seconds before it's shot from end to end. I love it. A bit scary though, since the stock brakes on the Baja are not the best. Certainly not 1/8 truggy or buggy braking, which is what I'm used to.
In order to fix the lack of braking, I simply took fuel tubing, and replaced that spring on the brake. Voila, better braking for next to nothing.
