Bud I've got $8 not 800 ??
?
Yeah hopefully summin like that rig will come round when I'm ready ? curious, since I'm not using the rear end an center diff off the Losi how much would they go for ?
I do see your point . For the most part, I hate the bajas front end. Steering system is absolutely useless. And it's too tight to work on when stuff inevitably breaks. Also , I have wanted a hybrid for a while (outlaw or diy) and now I have the opportunity to build a nice one, so why not. Not going to get maintenance free with this, I am aware of that. But I think it's what I want. Doing this ,vs upgrading the hell out of my Baja isn't too different, sure the Baja will be cheaper. But the hybrid was the other benefits that I Stated which is why I want it.Why the need for a hybrid? I'm just curious.
Really, the reason I ask is because I see this going the same way as the Franky. I'm not trying to poop on your aspirations. I just see you driving yourself crazy with yet another cobbled build that you can't afford to make right.
You already have a killer 2WD rig that just needs a few more upgrades to be bulletproof. A Hybrid is a 2WD that will cost you so much more, and until you can afford the monster powerplant, what good will the added expense give you?
You're selling low and buying high, which just means you'll end up spending more than you need to for the same result. Why not spend a bit less and actually make your current rig work? Aside from thrashing axle boots (hopefully fixed with the $0 guard I've made), my 5T is pretty bulletproof, and a hell of a lot of fun!
If you want maintenance free, just sell your rig and get the 2.0 John linked. You can't go wrong with that build at that price. If it were closer to bonus time, I'd probably just buy the damn thing so I could have a 4WD in the garage and leave you in the lurch.
Hybrid you'll still get wheelies, alot of them, but it's more controllable. An if I remember right you were the one who suggested a hybrid in the first place so idk why your confused ?
???
True but I think you will need a bigger powerplant due to the added weight to get your satisfaction. I just think hybrids look cooler?...Hybrid you'll still get wheelies, alot of them, but it's more controllable.

Who said I wasnt upgrading my engine ?. Yeah they looks sweet. They wieght similar to a Losi, so the weight thing isn't something I'm worried about. Check out Dennis Collins' hybrid (on Facebook) with a zen 32, feker flies. This is what I want mine to look like(minus the slicks, wheelie bar, and rcmax)
That's kinda what I want. I want to be able to throw it sideways and it to be a challenge to control.
Uh

Yip, that's why I like 2wd ?
