LtZerge's Scale Baja Rey (((Going to plop my project thread here if that's ok. I had a consolidated build thread on URC but that forum has since imploded.))) I've been working on-off for a year now getting the Baja Rey more scale, and generally just more satisfying to rip around with. There's still things I can improve, there always is, but I'm pleased with the progress so far. :) This is my most recent, pic taken at the day of this post https://i.imgur.com/3Ps0QGyl.jpg Things I've added: Electronics
Thanks for following my build thread, I hope to keep updating with new interesting things I think of doing with the rig. If you have any feedback, questions, or suggestions on what can be done next I'm happy to respond Running videos Split screen Cockpit Cam yard bashing Tearing through a stranger's autumn cleanup in cockpit view... to Billy Talent Slow-mo heavy vid at a favourite bash location Attempting to race it with some cockpit view.

Re: LtZerge's Scale Baja Rey Finally after months of waiting I got the new side cage parts in to replace my old ones. They were the victim of several mods I have since abandoned, so the structural integrity wasn't the same. While I was at the shop I grabbed some other scale bits. Dual batteries, a jack, and a spare shaft. Also made some simple antenna and a push bumper setup, and redid the mirrors to be more proper by modifying some old RPM light buckets. https://i.imgur.com/oEZznb0l.jpg https://i.imgur.com/OJmyBCKl.jpg |
Re: LtZerge's Scale Baja Rey Got my vanquish axle and aluminium steering parts in the mail. On my way I picked up a different camera and changed how the transmitter mounts. This one is way better at working inside the cab. After all that I went to the KRC off road track and did some filming. 1.5 hours of footage to 10 minutes of useful video. I was up so late editing I slept through my alarm, whoops. https://youtu.be/LYeyOuSDa00 https://i.imgur.com/n8KD1zml.jpg https://i.imgur.com/zBgFgGTl.jpg |
Re: LtZerge's Scale Baja Rey Do you notice the extra weight of the rear axle while jumping? I thought about getting the one from RC4WD but it's on back order. Love the paint job too Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: LtZerge's Scale Baja Rey Just got my build featured on RC Hub, feels good man https://rchub.com/fan-friday-feature...-by-pat-samson |
Re: LtZerge's Scale Baja Rey Awesome, I love that paint. SIKRIDES did one as well. The truck looks like it weighs a ton though. How is the motor that you installed. How does it compare to the stock one. I'm thinking motor and esc is my next upgrade Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

It absolutely weights a lot, around 9lb with battery. That's still not as much as the custom steel cage RC TTs, though. I personally found the stock motor/esc to be fine, I just had this sensored Hobbywing setup sitting around so I threw it in. It's certainly a lot nicer, but more for run time and smoothness than power. |
Re: LtZerge's Scale Baja Rey Beautiful build! Where would I find the dual spare tire setup? I’ve seen this on YouTube however couldn’t get in touch with the guy. Thanks for your help. |
