Baja 5B (Electric) Good?
Hi,
I Have Seen The Baja 5B Its Good But Is There High Quality ESC & Motor That Goes 65+ MPH?
My Budget 700$.
Is It Worth It? (I Want Electric So I Get Away From The Sound And Smell)

Yes, the conversion is worth it. It costs less than fuel. However, you will need a good battery and charger. I am not good at finding the batteries, so somebody else needs to help you find a battery and charger. Hobbywing makes an ok quality setup. From what i can tell, people love their stuff. You need a conversion kit, i'm so sorry its not on HobbyPartz.

There is a more quality, but pricier setup. It's Castle's BL system

Good luck!

RE: Baja 5B (Electric) Good?
dont know if the ezrun/hobbywing systems will do 65mph...40 sure, maybe 50.
I dont see the conversion of a gas one to electric as saving anything. By the time you would see a savings running electric over gas (figuring in the cost of the conversion) the chassis is gonna be ready for a full rebuild...a few times over, LOL.
But even tho electrics may not be much faster, their exceleration is better. And if you live somewhere that the noise of a gasser could be an issue, then brushless is the way to keep your beast.

old post just DanLC4 decided to necro a few very old posts to put ads for his imitation 5b's up, and even before that his posts from what I saw in his history were for him selling KM bajas and the like.

I had a 23cc KM baja. I thought that is was good for the money.

RE: Baja 5B (Electric) Good?
I think the xl2 might be pushing the limit to hit 65mph,45mph on a 16t pinion is possible on 8s
U might have more luck hitting 65mph with a MGM Compro on 10s or 12s but the ESC alone is around $700
