Well, after a lot of internal debate whether to get a roller 5ive or dbxl or FG onroad or a clone baja, I guess i have rounded up my decision between the dbxl and clone baja 5b.


With Kraken RCs sidewinder SX5 coming up (see pics below), i will most probably go with a clone baja from King Motors For 550$


Meanwhile, im gona upgrade the differential, clutch, front and rear top plate, pinions and gears all the way to shock mounts (all from Turtle Racing). Also, install the FLM extended arms, ddm pipe with hostile tires.

Is there anyone who could convince me otherwise? Why should i take the underpowered dbxl? The baja will cost me overall around 2.5k$ in a course of 5-6 months.


The clone comes 2wd with a 30.5cc 4 bolt motor.


The dbxl is underpowered by a 23cc motor but 4wd but it's a losi.


The pics are exactly how i want to make the buggy look like.
 
The few times I've run the dbxl I liked it. But with parts still being on back order, can't say I could really recommend it to anybody. Over time I plan to make it the beast that I want it to be. As of now I would go with the car in the pics, it's Mean!!!
 
I've been impressed by the DBXL. I never run the stock motors so I did not care that it came with a 23cc. I threw in one of my Redcat 30.5 pull outs just for now. It goes pretty good. It's only around 25lbs.

I might be getting this baja. It's genuine.

Your thoughts?

26cc motor. Has a lot of upgraded Aluminum parts from KM. (Its a meh but it is a genuine hpi, i checked).

It has a pcsc(power control slipper clutch) doesn't make your baja lose its tail on rough corners and piggy shocks. It also Has the flysky lcd screen radio

Yeah it looks nice. Needs a ddm pipe for more power. But too much power and ull start doin wheelies. Not a big fan.

I will most prabably grab it tomorrow

Is that plastic or metal?

a very strong plastic..

Their chassis's material is super tough Polymer fused with 4mm steel plate.

they have full warranty if you happen to break one no questions asked.
