All in Baja 5t build

[John Parks]

As a few of you know, I built a nasty baja buggy this year with a rcmax 90cc. Well I got sick of it for awhile (rc in general) and literally sold everything off I had ?‍. I regretted it since, but the brake in spending money was nice ?. Anywho, I decided to once again come back with a "mild" build. It had a decent amount of TR braces and etc on it already which helps out the mod list lol.

To start, I found a literally brand new OG baja 5t. Never seen a drop of fuel, or dirt. (Almost tempted to put it back in the box ?). I already have a hell of a parts list on order and being anodized. Going to be black, and blue anodized for a color scheme.

Ordered parts list:
-RCmax 80 supreme
-RCmax gear plate (anodized blue)
-RCmax quickdiff ( anodized blue)
-FLM extended arms V1 tower (anodized black and blue)
-IRC uhd cups and dogbones
-IRC diff case/ hpi internals
-Blackbone trans gears
-Blackbone 24/50 gears
-BRP knobbies/ couple sets of hostile nightmares and mxt tire sets
-Killer rc killswitch
-Hostile 3° hubs

Need to order:
-More wheels and foams to pair with the nightmares.
-Possibly a kraken cage to keep the OG body pristine since they are dam hard to come by
-Nickle and dime stuff lol
-whatever else you guys think?

Finally on to pics, I have already started the year down. Most parts will be here this week and build will commence over the next week or 2.

Thank you sir.
Little more progress tonight, g290 is out, and misc stuff taken apart. Trying not to take it ALL the way down so I forget less ?. I can't believe this thing is brand new.

Normal anodizing is $2 a piece depending size, hard coat, is around $3 per piece pending size

 

[DougStar]

Thats for nothing ????

 

[John Parks]

Yep, he is very reasonable and does good work. If you want his contact PM me, he is in the u.s.

 

[DougStar]

It makes no sense for me? having stuff shipped to here then back to the US then back again ?? but put the info out sure other people here will use it?

 

[John Parks]

Ah yea forgot your not in u.s. I don't want to put his info public as his poop will get blown up lol.

 

[DougStar]

Ill bet that ill find a good anodizer in Oz?

Ah yea forgot your not in u.s. I don't want to put his info public as his poop will get blown up lol.

 

[John Parks]

Well all my last bits have been anodized, have 2 more things that need to be but may wait on them as it's not necessary at the moment. Also placed a few orders on DDM ?
