Z's HPI Baja 5b/5t build

[Z.hb71]

So I flipped the shredstack. It's still not where I want it, but until I can find something better, it will work for now.

Hello Pot, I'm Kettle. What color are you?!

Don't want a smaller filter. There's a reason Losi aftermarket airboxes are built around using the HPI filter system. It's the bomb.com. Your rovan version is a piss poor rendition. This thing breathes big, and not a damn thing gets through it. I don't mind getting longer fuel lines and being creative in my routing. Since this is a 5t, it doesn't really matter if the filter pokes through the roll cage. It's all under the pipe and body anyway.

Well wouldn't be surprised if my rovan version especially sucked ??

Considering theouter foam layer literally fell apart in my hands with very very very little effort

Trying to order the next shiiinnyybit. A vertigo clutch housing ? that blemished one for $35. It ain't letting me pay for some reason so I emailed em, hopefully they get back soon so I can have another piece to the puzzle underway ??
So after this part, I think I'll stop till black Friday and then blow sum $$. I was Gunna do that till I found this one which is way cheaper then ddm, even tho it's blemished, it's fine by me.
