FG Baja 4wd Competition

[highwaystar]

Here is a shot of my newly acquired Competition Baja 4wd. It is running a Dark Soul 26cc. The throttle and brakes are controlled by 2 5645 Hitec with 2 5745 handling the steering. The wheels are 5t fronts with Pro Line Trenchers with Dark Soul beadlocks and wheel nuts, they are held in place using RamTech adapters.

I love the way this thing handles. I have had a few chances to give it a bashing, and it is one very tough car. Although it is mainly going to see track use this summer, I couldn't resist the urge to rip on it a little.

Nice. those tires look awesome on there.

 

[highwaystar]

Thanks. They work pretty well too. I like the added ground clearance they give me.

that looks awesome mate. Love the look of the 5T wheels on it! I was worried about the raised diameter being too much for the clutch so if it works well for you I might have to get some

Tires and rims do it justice. Nice buggy!

Thanks for the kind words guys!

It is using Ramtech adapters. I had it out in the snow yesterday and they were awesome. Having the ability to run HPI tires opens a lot of options for the race season this year.

Those RamTech adapters were developed by Ron (formerly USA Baja) one of the owners of this forum... (correct me if I'm wrong)

Here was the test mule for those adapters...

Now it looks like this...

Yes, they mount the same way the stock square blocks mount. I am pretty sure that there is another company that makes them. Maybe Ams? If I can find the others I am going to pick up a set.


And yes, Ramtech is owned by Rob Mecula.

I wish they were just a bit wider though. I have a very slight tire rub.

[highwaystar]

Those are freakin' cool. I may get some of those. Thanks!

 

[sperera]

no worries, i think predatorrc.com sells them as well and so does chequeredflagracing.com.au but all ozzie shops, im sure they sell overseas though.

 

[highwaystar]

If not I could have someone in Oz get them and ship them, I hasve done that before.LOL
