Woooo! Sometimes things just work out! Not only did I sell all my Savage Flux stuff quicker then I thought I would, but I didn't have to part it out either! After a crazy day at work, I stopped by the LHS to talk to the guy about my plans to once again purchase a Baja for real after 3 years of talking about doing it. He informed me that HPI is clearing out the "older" Baja models with the FM radio to make room for the new 2.4ghz equipped ones.

I was surprised to see over a $100 difference between the FM and 2.4ghz models. I was like "Well screw that, i'll come out ahead with the FM, have 3 channels and put my own spektrum system in later on" We both were more surprised we when discovered that HPI wanted another $100 premium for non painted baja! We both were like "*** is up that?" with no real good answer.

Not only did I come out ahead with getting the Baja for less money and getting the radio with 3 channels so I can put in a full kill switch, but I also had $100 gift card from Christmas I was saving for the right moment, and this seemed just as good as any! He's gonna hopefully order a white one tomorroo and its gonna be here on Friday and he'll put it on hold for me while I make payments on it at the discounted price!

Yes!!!! I can't wait to get back from Vegas next month and start ordering stuff from DDM and paying off the Baja! I could be smelling 2 stroke in early spring if I play my cards right!

I can't pay it of for a couple of months still

1. I just did my taxes and I owe Uncle Sam

2. I'm going to Vegas next month

Yeah, the fm baja 5ts will not last. Not sure what hpi was thinking only putting a 2 channel 2.4ghz radio in it and charging that much money for it. Keep an eye out for deals on the 5ts with fm because after about another week, they will be all gone.

We have them for a special price but not the deal you got.

You got the paying cash and not having it shipped price. LOL

Freezetron

Actually, my LHS doesn't charge me shipping for anything so it was $1,049 and with gift card, $949 left to pay off.

Dec of 2008 tower was selling them for $900 shipped. no taxes, no shipping. Have not seen that good of a deal since.

Freezetron

Damn, what a freaking deal that is! To bad most of us are poor during Christmas

That is a good price. We would sell local a little cheaper without shipping but we would still have to charge sales tax unless they paid with the green stuff.

Freezetron

No sales tax up here either

I had to lower my price as well on the 5T FM version. We all have to clear them out at a discount price.
