Homemade Brushless Baja 5B style Buggy
 

Ok guy's i built this about 5 months ago.

It's based on a Muggy with a stretched chassis to meet 1/5th scale length, I picked up a Muggy as a roller and the idea started from there.

ESC = Hobbywing 150amp
Motor = CC 1717
lipo's = 3s 5000mah in series

Looks very nice - more pics please - show us how you did it. :yes:

:great:

That thing is wicked! Looks like 2wd from the photos, why not 4wd? I know the Baja is only 2wd but with the muggy platform why not? Nonetheless a great job.

Definitly very cool, nice job. And yes, show us more of it!

Thanks guy's yes many more photo's and video's to come. Definantly 4wd guy's.....

The muggy link is as you can see very thin and easy to bend so i made my own link, much bigger.

The rear tower was very short so i got one that straightens the shocks out

Wow,very nice build,is it just 2wd? Why not keep the muggys 4wd?

Looks like its 4WD to me. You can see the rear drive shaft and the extended front drive shaft.

Guess i missed it, now it's even cooler!

Very cool, I like the stance of it and the fab work is awesome.

Ok motor fitted up

The front alloy prop shaft did't last long so a 12mm steel one now sits in it's place.

Got a 33kg servo that can handle up to a 3s lipo from HK for about $80 delivered.
