Time To Get The Baja Race Ready!

[Z.hb71]

Haven't heard anything bad about the Bonehead stuff. Only time I did is when Doug broke the hinge pin brace and that's a thin and small part anyways, I doubt youll have an issue with a rear chassis

i run b.head pin holders full set as irc was outa stock ?

Perfect thanks, so the weight comparison begins!

IRC rear chassis plates

V3 Weight 248 Grams
V2 Weight: 210 Grams
V1 Weight: 235 grams


Bonehead rc carbon plate comes in at 224g. Which idk if it's worth the extra cash for that. Still waiting to hear back from modified rc.

Nice one. I’ve got all 3 and I’ll do a comparison once the Bonehead parts arrive.

 

[Milo]

Modified RC 5B plate is around 299g


I’ve got the wide version on my TSK1 which will obviously be heavier.

 

[MonsterAir]

Is the wide version the one with skid plate? This is probably best bang for the buck @ 1/4"/6mm thick!

Here’s a pic of it.

Not sure what you mean but the one I have let’s you bold the side pods too it.

 

[MonsterAir]

This is the one I was referring too.

So Dean from Bonehead Rc edited his reply to me. 224g is the weight of stock plate and the carbon rear plate he says is 124g.

 

[Milo]

Yep that’s the one in the pic I sent you of one of my rigs. The pic of the one on the scales is not as wide so I’m guessing it’s lighter.

I was waiting for DDM to put the MadMax pins on DOD but figured I'd ask the group if you guys had any other good options for me. My local track conditions are loose and rutted. Hopefully @misterleon chimes in. He's our neighborhood fast guy!

Paddle tires work great

i don't think paddles will work on a track ?

I was being funny. Kind of ?

 

[Z.hb71]

i think i heard the track racers run jconcpets tires, so maybe buy those ?‍i know they are popular in the smaller scale racing too.

Those are the tires that come with the losi 5b right? I haven't been able to find them on rims anywhere maybe they got discontinued?

 

[Z.hb71]

no, here they are
https://www.jconcepts.net/shop/tires/5th-scale
they come un mounted, youll need foams and wheels for a baja 5t or losi 5t , baja 5b wheels will not work (shorter and wider)

I run jconcept chasers and I think they run great. Some guys like the madmax mini pins but I’m not entirely sure I trust their opinion.

 

[DougStar]

I have the mm pins?? ....not great for bashing? but will be great for the track ?
