Hopefully cheaper... I will say that the ones I got are huge, must be almost 1.5" long. I will most likely have to trim them down, but the added length is handy as I can fine tune the motor position.

I just got a $60 order from SDP-SI today, including belts, pulleys, and a gear. Everything which was supposed to have a set screw did. Did you recheck your order to verify that you ordered the gears with the hub/set screw and not hub/no set screw?

Yup...

I double checked the part number on the invoice and packet to the online info and I ordered the correct thing. Must have been packaged wrong. No bother really. The 8mm bore mod 1 pinions I ordered cam with a setscew so small I had to use the pointy end of a dental pic to unscrew them. What a joke. I will have to drill them out and tap them for m4 thread as well. I may drill the mod 1.5 pinions out for m5 or m6 thread, they will need some strength and the 1521 motor shafts are 8mm...

It's true, some of those set screws are extremely small. Thankfully we have drill presses...

...looks great...makes me reconsider doing my own one...its the size that kills me though...i want the HPI Baja in like a 1:10 size, or kinda like between a 1:10 and a 1:8...These comments are not directed at anyone in particular and in no way should be misconstrued as a complaint or a request :D

any updates on this kit. i have a baja that just sits here and would love a brushless in it lol.

That Baja is insane, I can't wait for a electric conversion to be on the market for the Baja. Then I might get one.

Ryu James · 06.14.2009, 08:35 PM

whats the latest on this baja conversion? any videos yet? i would really like to see some detailed close up pics too.

would a neu 2230 fit in a 5b or 5t or is it too long? or too much power anyway?

A 2230 may fit, but the 2215 can push it beyond what the steering can handle.

There was a guy running his baja on a 1915 and 9S lipo with great results.

EDIT: Found the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9cp_d71MkI

Video video video !!!!

I've seen that. Impressive for an 1,800 watt motor but the engine in my Baja is much more powerful than that. A 2215 is rated to 5,000 continuous watts, hard to get a gas engine to reliably compete with that.

BL_RV0 · 06.15.2009, 09:08 AM

Yeah, there are very few gassers that small that can produce 6.7hp cont.

The 5000 watts rating is for airplane with good airflow. I see a lot of people going by those number not realizing it's not for cars. In a plane where you get good airflow you'll be able to attain such a number and the AMP usage in a plane is not like the AMP usage we car guys see. We see burst, many bursts to be exact, which will sometimes go over what a motor and esc is rated for.

Gas engines are fairly easy to modify for the power. However, BL is just much more impressive.

The 19 series motors are fairly torquey motors! They produce good numbers but there efficiency isn't as good as the 15 or 22 series motors though. I've seen people use the 1910 and 1912 series motors in large boats(power hungry in nature) very successfully!

O and not to mention, a Neu 19 series is like $200... versus $400-500 for a 2215...
