P.S. Please get another build going soon. I love following your over the top project threads!

Depending on how you brace your chassis, and how your motor mount is set up, a 2220 should fit fine. I run a 2230 in my 5T.

Have any pics?

Cool, billy. I've always heard that the 2230 was overkill and uncontrollable. Is that even slightly true?

Check my "HPI Bajas" Thread in general discussion. There are some pics of my buggy and truck in there. Think the BL truck is on the second page.

Overkill? yes, though my Bajas are not light-weight. Both of mine are over 30 pounds RTR. No "pointless" aluminum, like arms and stuff. But lots of things to make it stronger.

Uncontrollable? That would depend on your throttle finger.

Thanks, billy. I really would like to know the size and setup of Mike's Baja conversion kit.

Are the specs finalized yet Mike? Any info at all to share? Please, I'm an RC BL junkie and I need a fix! I'm jonesin' bad!

Hey All!
Fighting Cock Energy Drink has finally been produced and is available. I am just putting up this one post here cuz i know many of you have asked me about it and when it would be available. Please pm me if you have interest in trying it out. By next friday our site should be finished and you can go there for more info. Again just pm me with any questions.

Hey all, yall might have been wondering what happened to the Rampaja, well i just recently purchased it from Ryu and it will show up at my door anyday now. Unfortunately i caught it just days afterthe electronics sold, so i had to start over by orderign a 2217, Hydra hv 240, Neuengy 5s lipos, ccbecpro, and some connectors and such. I am very happy right now. I ask that mods keep this thread going because it will be updated by me in the following weeks or months, however long it takes for me to reassemble it to my likeing, and pics and questions are sure to be posted also.
