That video must have been from one of the first kits around. I have no clue as to how much will have changed by now but some must have as this clip is 8+ months old...

Man I wish we had these kits out soon. Peak season here now and I had hoped all winter to be racing a brushless large scale baja.

Any news Mike?

I will have the 1st batch finished by this time next week - I should get them mostly complete over the holiday weekend. :)

Great news Mike. Probably comes as no surprise that I have been waiting for this to happen for a while.

Let us know in here when it's available on your e-shop.

..so is there a reliable power system for this available? The 23cc in my wife's 5B is getting tired (having issues holding a good idle, crankshaft has play in it)

Hi Mike,
did you get any kits ready for sale during the weekend?

almost, Tom. Got a few hours work left on the first batch - tomorrow or Saturday they will be showing in the store for sale. :)

Fantastic. I'll be watching the shop!

I see Mikes kits are now available!!

Just ordered mine. Can't wait. Got a Hydra HV 240 to try until the Ice comes along. Any day now, right Patrick?

Ordered two kits :)

Now we just need them large scale CC ICE ESC's!

I expect build pics + vids from both you guys. We've been waiting long enough, don't leave us out of the loop now! Lol

Ok, the kit looks great, my question is on the motor. Will a 1527 be enough or is a 22xx series almost required?

I was thinking 8s, 725kv? What pinion would you suggest?

Still on the fence on converting the Baja I have. Main problem is gas or electric I still have not found a good spot to run it, but I can't get rid of it.

congrats Mike! glad to see this one roll out. and congrats to the happy new owners of the first official, factory like, brushless conversion kit for the baja 5b/5t. cant wait to see these in action. now, if it were up to me, HPI just needs to release a 4wd baja following Castles' release of the HV ICE Surface and life would be complete. one thing at a time i guess, right? cant ask for too much.

Mike,
Do you have any idea of the battery tray size for the batteries. I'd appreciate length and width.

I sort of tried to guess and measure them and got 90x170mm but I am quite uncertain if this is correct since I have not got the kit+motor+tray installed. I am using a 2215 btw if that has any impact.

Thanks
