Wasnt sure if id like flying one of these but wanted to try one,never really flew these types of planes. The more ive flown it the more i like it. Has good speed,can fly in wind well,can even do some 3d stuff. Works well for a cam plane to(no pesky prop on the nose to distort video view).

Surprisingly the baja has been holding up to quite a bit of abuse. Its not as quick and nimble as a 4wd truggy and you cant recover in the air from a botched jump nearly as well so its been taking some knocks. Having the sc body on it just like the 1/10 scale sc trucks it can flip the truck in the air if the nose is up to high and it gets to much air under the body.

Unreal how much more power it has than the original 26cc motor now with the brushless set up.

I knew doing the conversion would give it quite a bit more power but this is just silly . This was the first run.. will be dialing it down a bit,motor timing is still stock,while i was at the shop i got to check out a little animus rtr 18sc to.
