  • Electric in a baja? taking all the fun out it!!!

  • slow...

  • what kind of brushless engine is in there??

  • Dev essere super divertente girare in quel posteggi,su asfalto. Dove lo trovo??!! Ragazzi, é un BAJA OFF-ROAD!!! Non fate la checche e sporcatelo di terra!!!

  • what sorta speeds do u get on that thing!!??

  • my mini T is faster than this. no literally it really is but i bet this is still more fun offroad. unless your idea of fun is driving around a large oval track.

  • @barrybob32 No it's not.

  • @350zvj haha someone is jealous

    U JELLY MY SPEED?

  • @barrybob32 Lol, nah. Not jelly of these that I can step on.

  • @350zvj well no shit sherlock, obviously for a car of its size makes it something you can step on. but then again you cant put one of these in a backpack and take it to the beach. nor take it on a hike and drive it on the rocky slopes of a mountain (i tried that once)

    if douches like you are the people who drive these kinda rcs than i dont think im gonna buy a baja 5b

    i was but forget that shit.

  • @barrybob32 Calm down, bro. It sounds like RC is a secondary hobby for you. When we go to run our Bajas it's not after a hike to the mountains or a walk on the beach. We specifically go out to run the Baja. I have all types of RCs. I even have a mini t, lol. The internet can be a tough place so yeah, if you were ever going to and one and join a forum, you'll need to lighten up a little.

  • If i was ever going to go to a forum? lol i wasnt actually mad but i was in a hurry, i dont like leaving youtube comments unanswered, but i just stopped caring.

    RC used to be my main hobby but ive been spending all my time on a midweight class battlebot recently, its cool cos i can finally crush all those 90s desktop computers and betamax players i have with it. more fun than a hammer fo realz

  • @barrybob32 Right on... Battlebots are pretty bad @ss. We don't have anything like that around here. If we did, I'd jump into that in a heart beat.

  • too slow on top speed.

  • that is not a baja it needs an engine not a motor

  • why it is not more faster?

  • ...speak English in an English titled video...

  • I´ts your car and your Fun, when you find it Perfect, so it is.

  • Elektrik is Dead driving, no sound, no Smoke, Bähhh

  • @Modellflug4me But electric has by now more horsepower, more acceleration and more top speed. The noise and the smore aren't a big loss...

  • Electro baja=best baja

  • so quiet..

    

  • @Underlord1300 and so gay

  • i think electro baja will be better then petrol

  • Ciao che motore ha il tuo baja?E quali batterie?

  • Your baja has no soul :/ I couldn't but electric in mine, I kinda of like pissing off the neighbours, basically because they think late is 8pm

  • Why would you even buy an off road car if the only place to run it was a parking lot???

  • @Stylensky he was doing that for speed runs...

  • como voce montou este corro se voce tiver a polnta pasa para min

  • QUE COSA??? A PARA POOPI? A PARA POPI?

  • it doesnt really go that fast. (slow) my e revo 1/16 could easily beat that.

  • @98Ps3lover

    it doesn't look fast because it's 1/5th scale

    looks can be deceiving...

    I've seen 50mph mini-t's that look like they smoke everything in the world.

    the I pull out the rustler, it looks much slower, but radar says i'm faster.

  • Comment removed

  • what can you do to these electric bajas to make them quicker? like nitro and 2stroke ones, tweaking the carbs etc.

  • @connell256 adjust gearing and battery

  • wow i thought it would be faster with 9s lipo i bet thats only like 30-45mph probly really expensive to

  • oh lol how much did it cost...?

  • a car must make noise...

  • where did you get the brushless motor and set up at?

  • brilliant i love it lllllllllooooooooooooollllllll­lll

    CATZZZ

  • i dont see the point of converting one of them to electric????? the hpi baja petrol one is probably much easier to live with ha lol just put ya fuel in and pull ..... instead of the whole take ya body off..... take bettery out charge the batteries.... then go lol and not for as long. stupid...

  • @RedSpecial18 For reference, I have 2 7.4V/8000mAh lipos in series in my E-Revo Brushless and it has the same runtime as my FG Baja with the 26CC Zenoah. And it's faster. The only real difference is that you don't have the noise that you get from a petrol engine.

  • @leorcc well....... but then u can just add more fuel........ but waiting for batteries to charge would suck........

  • @RedSpecial18 Yes and I can swap my batts too.

  • @leorcc and that you could buy lots more fuel for the baja for the price of those lipo's :p

  • @mancobooster Have you checked lipo prices lately? The break even point between 2 stroke petrol and lipo is a lot closer than you might think. The main issue with conversion of bigscales like the HPI or FG machines is that you had no proper bigscale conversion kits out there so you'd have to make your own using either brushless systems for 1:8 scale or arplane motors. Batteries are not the issue anymore with the prices the way they are. I'm sure I've spent less on my Revo than on my FG.

  • @leorcc yeah ok maybe your right but i also have planes and heli's :p

    and i know that a heavy vehicle like the baja 5b (i have one too) you 'll need a powerfull bl motor ,about 3000 watts ? at peak power you'll need 78 amps ?

    that means you'll at least need a 5000 mah 20c lipo so if just to say you 'd run it on 10 s you could buy 2 5s packs for 40 $ give or take you'd still need 80 $ for one pack and if you'd wanna run it more then 15 minutes you'll need at least 160 $,gassing it up is cheaper

  • @mancobooster Yes and no. The investment is up front with LiPo, and during running on 2 stroke petrol. I have 2 sets of 4S 8000mAh, which have cost me including shipping 150 euros, but the costs of charging is peanuts after that. As far as drive time goes, I use this in the Revo Brushless with a 2200kv Castle Creations and have a runtime of 45 minutes if I bash hard, and I have my low voltage cut off very high on 3,4V/cell so if put on 3,0/cell is should be able to drive for an hour. tbc..

  • @mancobooster.

    If I then double up on everything, 8s, A motor 2 times more powerful (Castle Creations has a HPI Baja conversion kit now based on 8S), the run times will stay roughly the same. And you'll have reverse as an added bonus. :)

    

  • That said, if you have a good working petrol engine already, the need to convert to brushless is of course not there. But if for instance like me you get rolling chassis from ebay/marktplaats and then have to make a choice, brushless is a very attractive possibility nowadays.

  • cool car:)

  • did ur neigbors bitch about the noise so u did this?

  • he said my tittie...

  • why why why why why???????

  • WHY ?? IS A LOT FASTER !!!!

  • Loud pipes save lives!

  • Buying a brushless system about $200 and $150 for lipo to convert then its free from there. Gas if you add up your spending on buying nitro/gas its costs way more money to run it and more maintenance than brushless powered

  • lol more like 400+ for a 9s lipo and minimum of 250 for brushless system

  • i meant brushless system but lipos are cheap these days around $70 for 5000mah 35c 4 cell get 2 and it should be good

  • hi great car can you tell me exactly what motor and esc cheers

  • you can tell with this brushless setup and gear ratio its not as tourqy, but nice conversion.

  • is this custum

  • It would be good 2 see that vs a petrol baja.

  • @johnwo1 very true man!

  • @johnwo1  this is 1:5 scale remember bro, nitro doesn't really come this big (N)

  • @jeremya5 Yeah true only if u get it custom bro

  • @johnwo1 the petrol loses, but i still prefer the petrol one...

  • @johnwo1 it looks a lot slower

  • @TOMREED1 No just not noisy

  • @johnwo1 It would smash the petrol. Instant torque brother.

  • @johnwo1

    no contest the electric baja would leave a gas in the dust

  • adjusting your rear camber with the upper a-arm turn buckle will help in the corners. i noticed that the wheels are pretty straight and if they are tilted slightly inward at the top it gets a bit better grip in the corners. remember, the baja 5b is rear-heavy. excellent conversion! cheers!

  • I already saw a lot of conversions but never a 1/5!! wow dude very nice! congratz :)

  • Why?

  • Because brushless is better than nitro... :)

  • lol the baja isnt nitro its pump gas

  • @damasta227 plus some oil sincs it's a 2 stroke :)

  • does it have the same amount of power?

  • it has even more

  • ngul che potenza!

  • it seems like it is faster now.

    but ive been wrong before.....

  • you cant compare pump gas to electric cuz a gas engine needs to build up power and an electric has it all right away

  • agreed

    a grand is alot lol

    i love my baja well...... i love my dads baja LOLOOL i have all traxxas thats all i can afford lol id much rather have all the traxxases i have than one baja lol

  • I just like the gas cause it's loud (: electric works too tho

  • the silent killer.. lol

  • Sounds like and airplane! AWESOME

  • This thing is sick ! Electric rules all the way. Power and runtime are not an issue anymore. Yeah !

  • How much run-time do you get with an electric car like that driven normally?

  • elle à pas dpeche =(

  • Is it me, but the thrill of driving a 5b is loss with out the noise of the engine.

  • It does. But this is the only solution when you want a big rig with low noise. Damn noise police.

  • bet it could kill u if it hit u =P

  • zippy lipo

  • sweet. nitro and gas have there pros and cons and the same is for electric. electrics give u amazing power while the gas and ntiros give u the run time. but with the way the world is goin it looks like that electrics cars are weel on there way which means batteries will get more advanced. look, we had nimh and nicads for a long time and now look at this within a past few years we now have lipo and

    a123 which will eventually replace lipos like lipos replaced nimh and nicads.

  • Im not sure what kind of experience you have with Nitro, but nitros to have insane power. Im an electric guy, but I have to admit nitros do beat electric there. Top speed, electrics have it. I would choose electric over nitro

  • way faster than the stock gas!!!

  • please  were can i get that motor!!! please help more info!!!

  • great work ,,nitro and gas will very soon be a thing of the past most guys are allready turning to brushles lipo power , as they have far more power than any fuel engine can produce ..

  • I find this very cool, and great, has awesome power, unfortunate, you cant just have one or the other, there will be both. I dont think he would be getting anywhere close to the run times the fuel motor is getting. I can get with my 5b between 30-45 minutes depending on how I drive it. Though it would be interesting just how long it does last till it hits 3/4 power and starts to really drop. Id like to see Hydrogen powered :)

  • yes i must admit gas engines are good for run time unfortunatly thats all there good for , i bet he dont spend hours on maintance with that baja , no burnt out cluches or spark plugs ignition coils gas or two stroke oil to buy air filters pull starts or brake discs to renew , tuning issues or air leaks ,, need i go on ,.

  • What are you talking about, I dont go through all that crap all the time. I may have to retune my motor, but Im on the same clutch, and spark plug. And just so you know I own all three versions of the hobby, nitro, electric (brushless, brushed), and gas, so its not like Im a fan over one or the other like you, its just I like them for what they are, and not trying to push one, or my beliefs upon others. This is cool, but because parts may last longer is still no reason to say "get rid of gas".

  • in aword GET RID OF GAS AND NITRO ..

  • That's pretty damn awesome!!

  • Sorry, it's nice but It's missing something. Where is the sound of the Baja needs to have? The sound only a gas engine can produce.

  • Youre just jealous batteries beat your RCs all day long hahahahahh

  • You might be right. I was just joking. My nitro truck will run all day also and has tons of power but I do like brushless also.

  • How did that conversion go for ya? all i got to say is wow to the 9S power.
