Thanks to Ryan (@Rep732 ) for going out of his way to pick this baja up for me and ship it. Near perfect Hpi baja, even the cage is new.

With that said, of course it's getting bigbore power, but a ported 40gt. Going simple, flm arms, typical TR chassis braces, kraken chassis, akill tires on some 5b wheels. Trying to stay light, but strong as possible to have a hard-core Basher. Will have a ton of stock parts and likely build a 5b or something with what's left over.

16 hour day at work, what better way to finish off the night than building a baja until midnight lol. 🤣

Rear kraken vekta shocks installed, work very good it seems and fit well. Front ones are in but bind up on the bottom of the top arms. Not sure I'll be able to make these fronts work, but will keep trying. Forgot a few shock shock tower pieces so can't really finish it.

Well she's officially done, maiden voyage should be this weekend. Taylor ported 40gt installed, killswitch and servos setup. Made a bash bar for it as well since I cut the cage a little. Bash bars are getting easier and looking better everytime.

Added a dual rate spring setup to the rear for the kraken vekta shocks. Has their heavy duty spring rate on the bottom, and the standard spring weight on top. I can drop it eye level and the chassis doesn't smack the ground lol.
