Rovan e-baja 5b to e-baja shorty conversion

[Crazybajabuild]

Hey guys I’m thinking about converting my electric converted Baja 5b to an electric shorty Baja and was wondering if I can get any help as far as what parts will fit. I bought the shorty chassis but can anyone tell me what other parts il need to make it all work?

I don’t know the answer but I’m about to start a rebuild and electric conversion on a used 5b roller. Now you have me wondering if I should go short instead.

What don’t you like about the long chassis?

I actually don’t mind the lo mg chassis but always wanted a shorty so i figured why not try it. I actually did the conversion myself today and it came out great!! I used the shorty chassis, and front aluminum roll cage mount . It was a half he job. It’s actually not bad, now I just have to figure out a better mounting plate of some sort.

Hi,

How much shorter is the short vs the regular? Any differences in handling etc? Thanks!
