No - A baja will weigh close to 30lbs - this is half that - a 1717 on 6s with a MMM is the way to go...

ow I see, than I have 2 questions left:

1.
so in your opinion everything above 6s, (like what I was aiming for: the upcoming XL kit designed for the Baja in combination with 8s) that would be overkill for a converted savage flux?

2.
what would win: 6s MMM with 1717 or a converted Baja with the XL combo on lets say 8s.


smaller question
3. a baja on 8s or a baja on 10s, would it give much of a difference with the XL combo?
If so, it would affect the answer on question 2 I assume :)

This is still 1/8 truck, it is just scaled to 1/5. So not much weight added.

Things for remove
Dogbones 26g
Battery boxes 252g
Radio box 121g
TVP's 179g
----------------
removed: 578g


5mm TVP's 867g (3mm tvps 505g)
battery plate 78g
servo plate 48g
6x brace 72g
dogbones 135g
---------------
added: 1200g (838g with 3mm tvp's)


That gives us 622g added to standard flux weight, with 3mm tvp's only 260g added.

TVP's and plates (lipo/servo) are 7075 aluminium.


Here is another picture, so you can see how much the 1/5 motor sticks out of TVP.

so we have the option to chose the thickness of the TVP :-)

+ I dont know if this 6s lipo would fit your battery case: http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail...C55006S&cat=18
edit: 165 x 47.5 x 62 mm, lol so this works if it is placed on its side.

So can the jumbo servo option be used with that 165 mm in length?
it would not require modding anything only you would have to place the battery slightly diagonal I assume...

[toplakd]

Hi.

Yes, kit with 3mm tvp's is 20€ cheaper.

Dejan

[Riko]

and based on these measurements 165 x 47.5 x 62 can such a lipo fit into your battery tray on his side + using jumbo servo's?

[toplakd]

Hi.

When mounted that way, you can fit battery 167 (lenght) x 51 (height) x 74 (width) and you can use jumbo servo

hehe thx, that was what I was thinking of...

I am curious to see how your friend Knez will put a body on it and if he will use extended FLM arms....:)


ps: that is a handy program you have....

[toplakd]

Yeah, and basic version is free.

This is Google's Sketchup :)

Dejan

[Riko]

lol! downloading it asap :)

Personally if going from scratch I would get the Baja

If you had a flux then I'd go for the conversion...

What if you wanted 4wd ?

yeah indeed that is my question before :)

but at those big sizes 1/5 and kinda 1/5 (flux conversion) does 4WD have a big value?
What would win? a Flux on 6s? or a Baja on 8s?

and would the difference be noticable from 8s Baja to 10s baja?

[Riko]

hehe thx, could you say why because if I was to made a choice now I would say Flux because of the 4WD, or is this not a valid reason to choice one over the other?

[toplakd]

If you dislike baja, and like 4wd, you can alway buy yourself an FG or other 4w gasoline monster truck such as Hörmann, Lauterbacher, MCD .... and convert it to brushless.

For all conversions you can always contact some RC-parts makers such as ALZA RACING (me) , RC-monster, GCM Racing .....
