More like $550 but yup I'll get one 
I'd like to build it myself if it were cheaper but buying the parts from OBR works out more for some reason?

Maybe it's a return warranty thing?

possible, or maybe if they sold the parts as lower instead of what they are now they wouldn't make much of a profit or something

Baja’s can be quite challenging to drive... but lots of fun.. they are kinda like the stock market... when there good there good... but when things go bad... they go really bad in a hurry...

Awesome?
You need a lot more throttle control with a baja than you do 4wd? good fun when you get it rite tho. Great video mate?

It's just all over the place
All of my rigs have their own driving style
And traction on all 4 wheels is a big plus for easy driving. I'll wait for a nice dry grass day maybe then it won't be so squirrelly
