It's pretty new, looks cool. There have been lots of E-converted Bajas, but most were home made. I haven't seen this one run, but it looks promising.

Yea those large scale conversions are pretty pricey though.

off-topic. Congratulations on becoming a mod sheograth.

Here is a decent video.

In most cases I'm all about brushless conversions. And while I admit that even in this case it looks like it performs great, I think it seems to miss the point of a 1/5th scale gas R/C. Oh well, either way, looks cool.

Thanks for the video!
I did get an email and was told these mounts will be ready at the end of this month..
and I am thinking of trying an outrunner motor on 6s and then on 8s and see how she runs..
but I'm also toying with getting a modded gas motor?
