Ok never mind, just going to keep my baja. Hybird is a proper waste of time because it's only beneficial for like 71cc+ and stuff. Which I likely won't have , atleast not now. so the reason for going hybird is really only cuz they look cool and a bit easier to work on, which going thru all that work and BS isn't worth it tbh. A 5ive T , doesn't seem my style any more. They are the Best 1/5 but I'll just keep my Baja. Mostly cuz I'm a lazy fek .can do a hybrid later ?‍♂️ maybe even an oitlaw. for now I'll just make this durable and put a bigger engine maybe ?‍♂️? as you clearly see I'm actually the most indecisive person on the planet ?
 
Just quit the hack jobs and ull be ok? put a tr wiper arm high volatage and lipo battery ? The a baja steers properly? thats half the issue eh?‍♂️
NAw no lipos for me. Probably will change the servo to something better (running the stock rovan one off Frankie, somehow it isn't broken), TR bellcrank sounds good ?
 
Old tech yeah, but I'm not going lipo. Like I said, too much bs with those. I'll get a life battery
They suck too? Its really not that serious. People act like lipos are a ticking time bomb. If you want to be super careful just pull them out the rig and charge in lipo bag or such. Receivers have programed lipo protection so over discharging is no biggy and chargers are smart now so overcharging is no biggy. Really not that serious??
 
Your funny zed. I've been running lipo since they first came out. Treat them right and they are fine. Life blows in comparison. It just doesn't have the power density of lipo. Nimh/ nicd is a bad joke anymore. You want to talk about maintenance. How often have you run charge/ discharge cycles to exercise the nimh? Run it to minimum voltage every time before a charge? If not then your just killing the capacity of the pack. It's real hard to ring one back once memory sets in. Now you'll be talking about baby sitting a fricken battery pack.
