Another addition to the family... somewhat anyway  ;)  . This thing is huge and rips! The sound of the motor reminds of a 2stroke dirtbike. It also runs off of pump gas and 2 stroke oil. My wife wants to kill me but I say it's money well spent  ;)  .

Looks like fun!

how much is something like that cost? if you don't mind?

They're selling them for alil over $1000 after taxes. But I got a deal on mine for $850. It's a bit higher than the average Nitro car. But when you factor in paying $3.00 a gallon for your pump gas as opposed to paying $25 a gallon for Nitro fuel. You're going to save yourself money. Also, a full tank of gas on this will run for about 35-40 minutes as opposed to 15-20 on a Nitro.

that thing is cool!!  I didn't know nitro was that expensive  :o

Very cool car.  Swamper, that particular model is more expensive than most.  It's larger scale, more features.  The average nitro buggy can be had for $200-$400.  Of course, aftermarket upgrades can run into the thousands.

Yeah, Nitro is real expensive and if your going to run the car alot it doesn't last that long. Plus, you spend ALOT of time on maintnance with the nitro cars. I've run this thing twice so far today and I'm still on the same tank of gas. This thing is alil monster. I roosted myself by mistake and felt some dirt go in my eyes. She's alil timid on the bottom end. Once I run her through a full tank I'll lean her out alilm more and a pipe is a must. Mid and topend she pulls strong even with the stock pipe.

What motor does it have?G260rc?But when you think about it Nitro cars are faster

sweet rob!!! I still have my savage 25 sittin in the toolbox because I can't get it to shift. keep meaning to drop it off at extreme hobby zone and have him go over it, but keep forgettin. you still run your savage?

yea it looks like a g260 from zenoah

Found out that the motor is a Chung Yang 23cc. As far as which is faster, out of the box my Savvy did 45mph. This does 40mph out of the box. On the road the nitro car would be faster. Across rough terrain the 5b is going to outperform the Savvy or any other Nitro because of handling. At high speeds the 1/8th scale would be really hard to keep upright and wouldn't outperform something this big. I can run this buggy full throttle with no problems where my son rides his quad.




Thanx! I got rid of my Savvy because of issues like that. I fix something and something else needs to be worked on. Plus the Nitro was too expensive. I've run this car 3 times today and only had to put gas in it twice  :Clap.gif .

i got a t-max,  with a 3.3 and it rips Petty good. that would be cool at the beach

i wanna ride it!

I want a Baja so bad, lucky sob! lol. 

Those things rip, go to http://www.davesmotors.com/store/product1333.html and order the kit if you want some good power 8)

Yeah, I think I single handedly paid for EHZ to move into their new building, just from aftermarket and replacement parts for my savage. I love the rc buggies and trucks and hope to buy a different one sometime.... Of course I am going to Lake Wales Airport this weekend to watch the R/C trubine jets so I may get new ideas, lol.... They will be there Thurs-Sun.. your little one might like it, free admission and 200mph+ r/c jets that sound like the real deal.

Thanx for the info Rebel  ;)  . I ordered a K&N style filter with the K&N pre-filter with it. I'll add the X Can exhaust in a couple of weeks. When I need my topend redone I'll tear it down and may go alil bigger.





Having one of those would be nice! I'd probably never get to fly it because of crashing it in to the earth all the time. You need to get yourself one of these 5b's so we can bash together. Another friend of mine came by the house today (He has 9 nitro cars/trucks) and says he DEFINITELY getting him one. I guess because they're so expensive not many peeps have them  :-\  .

I need to come by and see it run sometime. Althought I don't know if I need to find anything to spend money on.

There used to be a few guys around that ran 1/4 or 1/3 scale gas powered cars. They are like 5 feet long. Haven't seen them in a while though.

Yeah, just let me know. I need to post some vids of it running. A 1/3rd scale car would be awsome! Where did they run them? I can only imagine how expensive they were  :-\  .

They were pretty cheap. They used old go cart frames and motors, just added some radios and fiberglass bodies. They ran them on gocart tracks.

From DDM?  If you did, next time use the coupon code "gpn" when you check out. 10% discount :)

I want the Baja SS kit they're getting in soon, more fun customizing ;)

http://www.davesmotors.com/store/product2029.html

You're alright with me Rebel  :T . Thanx for the hookup! That SS kit is pretty expensive but it's got EVERYTHING with it. This buggy is definitely a keeper so I'll have it all tricked out in time. Where are you located?

only a 5% discount, but still not bad to get the RTR kit for $911.05 shipped

No problem.  I'm in Hernando County, like 25mins from Croom.


I could've sworn it was 10%.  I think theres a coupon for 10% but I forget the code, I'll see if I can remember it.

Watch this video. This thing has 6-7hp if not more strapped on only 22pds.

man your super lucky, i've been wanting one of those for some timenow since i got my revo and t-maxx, i played around with one and it seemed so graceful over little jumps, like lots of in air control and just insane power all over, my revo hangs with it but again over rough terrain my revo just bounces all over

6-7HP?  Lol a Baja has no more than 3HP.  If you want to get in the 6HP range, you need to have some good motor work done.  Theres a motor called the Trevor Simpson ESP ported G260RC, 6+HP on the motor.  Pipe, airfilter, etc... easy 7+HP.  Its on DDM...expensive as hell though.

http://www.davesmotors.com/store/product993.html

Actually, the stock 23cc engine has only about 2hp. The motor in the vid has a 30.5cc motor, +2 stroker crank, Dominator pipe, Walbro 813 carb, and TS reed cases as well. Doesn't even have portwork so there's still room for improvement. Like I said, 6-7hp if not more (lol)  8)  .

Lol damn.  Yeah, I watched the video and realized... no way a stock one could roost like that ;) 

With the way my GFX company is going I should have mine in a week or two.  I smell a race ;D

 :deal.gif  . Are you going to beef the motor up when you get it? I'm looking in the direction of a 29cc race ported 35mm bigbore cylinder and piston. What do you think about that setup with the 813 carb?

When I get it I will break it in, then run it into the ground haha.  I know the guy over at ESP and I will have him port a new G260RC and then send it to me.  CY motors suck!

If I can get DDM to send me one with a ESP G260RC instead then I wont do that. They are good people there and will compromise lol.
