I bought my Baja as roller about 2 years ago.



I didn’t take many pictures of the new build, it’s still far from complete.

As for a parts list

Rovan lite weight chassis
Rovan Carbon fiber rear chassis plate
Turtle racing Diff housing
Ddm hardened Diff gears
Innovative Diff case

ill post up the rest of the parts later on








Got the innovative Diff done and i love it

I had ran into a little issue with TFE battery box eliminator



with a little trimming, I was able to get it mounted using a extra servo mount for my X2

 

[5ThscaleNut]

More parts came in





Parts that I have to still buy

irp-brp hub adapters

Brp slicks

Hostile dog-bone boots

Primal Rc dragster fuel tank - I might just use the stock tank depending if primal gets them in stock again

Blackbone 2-speed

Wheelie bar

Irp adjustable rear wing

OBR 34 Reed Engine

a Futaba radio system either the 4pv or the 7px

also have to get another innovative Diff case and innovative big bore shocks for a different build

[DougStar]

Nice haul???

 

[5ThscaleNut]

I got some more goodies ?



I also picked up this a couple of months ago

 

[DougStar]

Some nice parts?? was that all a ddm order??‍

 

[5ThscaleNut]

Diff case and the blackbone gears are from Detroit proformance

this is where I’m at with my build, I was able to get the new trans put together and mounted. Tomorrow I get the km 2-speed installed, with my old TR trans I plan for the blackbone 2-speed

Philly

 

[misterleon]

Philly

Figured either New York, philly or st. Luis. Were you at the event earlier this month?

 

[5ThscaleNut]

No I didn’t get to make it out there
diff is done and installed



I cut some carbon fiber to make a spacer for my steering servo and for the dubro fuel filler


I had to enlarge the hole in the rear trans plate so I could fit in a bearing



I don’t know if I should run the roll cage or run the losi 5b spark plug guard?

What did you guy’s think?





I made the wheelie bar out for 3mm carbon fiber


Exhaust pipe installed



I like the wing I have but I’m most likely going to make one out of carbon fiber



just waiting for BRP to sent me my tires

 

[5ThscaleNut]

First start up

 

[misterleon]

I’d probably just run the 5Boro spark plug guard. Less Weight than the full Baja cage

 

[crucialRC]

I’d probably just run the 5Boro spark plug guard. Less Weight than the full Baja cage
