thanks Man,
i really hope it turns out well. i am kind of a perfectionist and so i would like to think i will deliver a 1/5 brushless that will look factory. unfortunately for me (but fortunate for my wallet) the Redcat doesnt have near as many hopups available as the Baja.
Have you looked at 1/5's yet? you plan to do a 5b? or considering others?
i have looked at doing a 1/5 conversion for months now and i think the Redcat offers the best all around package for one.
$500 price tag
4wd
plenty of parts support and US made. HQ in AZ.
decent amount of hopups avail.
has its own forum
very large chassis/platform for easy conversion options
seems to be good build quality. its not like the FS or Smartech 1/5 stuff that is total junk.
by the time i finish my conversion i should have CAD files and stuff for a 22xx motor mount and different things and could perhaps do a couple of extra kits. not sure yet but i will be sure to post if its something i can make available.
