I wonder if you're actually capable of running a Baja without having a meltdown emotionally! That said, they are slower but are still a lot of fun, you get better by learning and wrenching so I'd suggest a 5BSS for you over a 5T. I can swap an engine out now in my Baja in around an hour (far quicker than I was!)
Just have a std RTR Baja but with deanodized chassis etc, and a CY26cc in there now (not a hpi CY)

Nice looking Baja you got there! I had plenty of fun with mine (I think I just hate 2 stroke) just getting it started. I have a feeling the previous owner might have run straight gas in it, or maybe I am just poor at tuning 2 strokes... I would have kept it if husquavarna had made a motor for it. My 75cc husky chainsaw starts every time, no matter how old the fuel is... Maybe the upgrade motors are better than the hpi 23cc? I cannot imagine them being any worse.
And lol on the emotional meltdown... I had to laugh at that one. I wonder if freezy will have a smc rec pack? Or has he learned his lesson on crap batts?
Nothing against gas 2wd, but the flux is much more fun for me. And quieter. Just someting screwy about a "rc weedeater", even my shockwave 55 with the zenoah 26 gets on my nerves... And since the new house backs up to the water I will be getting on the neighbors nerves too! Need to finish the other 5 bl boats...
