the throttle stuck 2 mins in to the run way down the steet there is this pole and what a noise from the very quickly approaching baja ..

 

then it was doin donuts on the street and then smashed into the frt steps of a house

 

its not getting fixed for awhile

why this better pic is upside down ,i have no clue,lol

 

i looked alittle closer and there are way more broken bits

 

sigh

very cool! (the RC Car, not the fact that you smashed it up) Is that gas or electric? I used to have electric street cars a few years back. My brother sold them on Ebay when I moved to college, I still haven't seen the cash.

[jdubya]

you just sent me on a tangent trying to remember the cars that I had. Bolink was one of them the other was made by TRC. It doesn't look like those companies are around anymore.

[gmtech4]

its a 26cc gas 2 stroke,

 

this thing is retarded fast and loud with tuned pipe and the forums out there are numorous as well,

 

i have 2 grand into it and this will hurt if and when i fix it

 

why did they move this ?,i live at ask a tech forum!!! oh well,lol

[jdubya]

Not that I know what I am talking about in this area anymore, but it just looks like front suspension parts that are jacked up. Are those parts that costly? I would think the electronics and the engine would be the bulk of that $2K?

[gmtech4]

The kit to build it cost 932, the radio and servos, charger etc cost 300 ish and all the upgrades and repairs I have around 2 large in it , I can't fix it yet, as other priorities have to come first, I will post cost as I get to it soon cyz it'll make me nuts till I find out lol

Cool car.

 

I have an emaxx that i have tweaked quite a bit with bigger motors, and other go fast goodies... has 4wd, and i put in a adjustable slipper ring so it puts constant torque down to the wheels.. It requires the wheelie bar to be on .. Top speed is right around 45-50.

 

Its not working right now tho because i am trying to work out radio issues... Was starting to have a mind of its own going fwd and reverse . Almost broke my ankle the one time as it took off at me full speed.

[gmtech4]

the stock Hpi Baja 5B SS will do 60 MPH ,they are nuts !!!

The hpi Baja is big too. Isn't it 1/5 or 1/8 scale? I've got a traxxas slash and both of my boys have stampedes. Not sure what kind of radio issues u r having but I upgraded my electronics to spectrum dsm. They r sweet and u get no interference.
