looks good to me. Body looks kinda high but I know the tracer is a pain to get the body to clear the shocks. That and maybe tidy up your wiring.

Electronics are...ESC rc4wd dual motor with bec, Battery 1800mah 11.1v, 45tF / 55t R rc4wd motors.

Body does look too high and that's one of the things i didn't like on it. As i see it the only way to lower it will be to cut the rear in a V shape but that would ruin the body i guess. Any other way around it?

That's kool! How does the outcry and mismatched silver cans work? Do ya have an external lipo cutoff (that thing on top the batt?)? Are ya gonna put a punk dig on it?

I Use this body on mine, and like it a lot! I think it looks good.

I gave this one some thought as well, I think it would fit the chassis. I may pick one up and give it a try.

Ho do you like the 45t-r,55t-f?

Not a lot of space to work with electronics:shock:, With a little planning you could tuck some of that away for a cleaner look. It aint easy!"thumbsup"

Looking good! Good luck!"thumbsup"

No external lipo cutoff...just a beeper for a warning but it gives false warnings when the motors draw too much current from the battery.

45t/55t seem to be just right. haven't tried it outdoors yet ...but seems to give a dig filling somehow when going uphill.
Regarding speed...this berg is faster than a losi or axial on 45t's...way faster...can't imagine 2 35t on it...won't be a crawler any more!!!!!!

Regarding the body i also like the Baja but had to order it from online stores and shipping costs.
So i got a Jconcept locally.

I had a problem with the wiring...when tying up the wires together it was glitching so i let them loose.
