Obeast's Budget Baja Backup Build

[Obeast44]

Hey guys, thought I'd give you guys a sneak peek as to what I have been working on here lately. Keep in mind, i'm a Redcat guy at heart, whilst checking out the pics.


Here is the back story to help you guys understand why I decided to build one. Im going to Powerjam next weekend with my XB-E. My plans are to run the piss out it as much as possible. I will have gobs of batteries, a power supply capable of 47amps and a 6s quattro charger on site, BUT ya never know what might happen. So I decided to snag a gasoline backup just in case.


My friend Noyb and Bbuzzard (both have more cars than they can concievably handle)led me to this amazing deal. It was such a good deal, I literally HAD to buy it. So don't throw me under the bus!


In all seriousness I am hoping I can get it sold to someone at the Powerjam so I don't have to bring it back!


I could bore you to death with the amount of aftermarket stuff thats on it, but I would rather let the pics do the talking.

Im honestly hoping I don't even have to fire it up


Also forgot to mention, its not 100% done. There are still a few things to do once the rest of the parts arrive.

I helped a bud fix his Baja last week and I kept thinking that I wish I had mine back. That lasted about 15 minutes and I was back to cussing the car up and down. All it took was to pull the engine. By the time I got the tranny case apart to replace one stupid diff bearing, I was threatening to kick my buddy off my property for talking me into working on the thing.
