I see it's back for sale. It used to have pictures from track day hobbies,our local hobbystore- it's been for sale before.
Track day hobbies is the one Botajell goes to a lot in his videos. I have yet to go there yet,ill get there one day soon.
That was the first Baja I liked and had been considering how to buy it,then the FG fell into my hands.?
 
Here's a Baja with a kraken vekta cage and a original rcmax 70 (the really old version, like the Dawson era rcmax). Doesn't seem like a bad deal, Except for the fact that it's splattered with chinesium "upgrades"

And here's the exact opposite. Kraken vekta 5 with a rcmax 55 and (what looks like) a titanium pipe and splattered with all the good stuff. Authentic Kraken Aluminum suspension upgrades, js performance, hitec, rcmax ect. Beautiful build although I don't plan on owning a vekta anytime soon, this is how I'd do it, just with a rcmax 80 supreme ?

Also I just realized, you Kno, we could be helping selling these items that we link here ? not that that's bad or anything, but I just realized that
Edit: as @AnubisBC pointed out, the first link is incorrect here's the right one

Hey @Z.hb71 your link for the baja with the kraken cage is incorrect. It's the link for the overpriced carbon baja 5b.

SMH over some of these asking prices. It's one thing to throw $2-5k into a build you're going to beat the hell out of and enjoy. It's a completely other thing to think someone else will see that investment and want to pay $4500 for your used toy. Just sayin'. I have no illusions that I won't make 30% of my investment, so I continue to upgrade and beat the poop out of it. If I ever find myself unable to play, I'll probably just gift it to my nephew.

I just wish there was a stronger US market so I could find a local track to run around!

Yeah I agree, nobody will probably buy it for that much and nobody would probably want a fully upgraded truck right out of the gate especially a used one, most like to upgrade as they go along (myself included), so yeah I'd just part it out or give it to a family member
 
I would say ,one would have to dubby up the cost an see with the prices ,but ,in the long run ,at least you know
that your s**t is new an it will last longer with out too many break downs an headaches!
 
I can't find anything about them online, but the front strap looks a bit short for an off-road application. These might be designed to run the car on road, and suck the front end up a bit, or that front tower was designed to mount the front straps lower. Either way, yes, this should fit. The lower mounts are designed to mount on the opposite side of the sway bar mount holes, which are the same for the FLM extended and stock arms. If you get them and they don't fit, I'll take them off your hands for $5. ?
 
This is a tasty build. Nice and clean, all authentic parts and looks awesome

I'm not too sure on the price tho, its a OEM hpi (no rovan or Km) with all nice parts but it's a bid starting at 1100 plus shipping. Tell me what you think

A new one is about the same price down here.
If it's as good as they say it's pretty good.
I'm always suss about 2nd hand RCs though.
People don't buy em to try em gentle.

Your right ? but some one like a real enthusiast who looks after their gear would not sell junk? did you see the mtxl that evssv shipped to the states:unsure: that thing was mint? so think it depends on who and where you buy from? hear so many horro storys with fleebay so.......
