I have 3 of these RCs. My favorite electric RC. 1 of them i bought used 4 months after it was released in near new condition. 2nd one i got like a year later from a buddy a V1 as well. The 3rd one is a V2 and is still unused. The third one i ordered the Raceline version as the first 2 are Baja Designs, but i got the Baja Designs instead. Shipped it wrong, but i wasnt gonna send it back or complain so they send me the Raceline body. My first one has many mods done to it and even a few of my own design and is the most beat on one of the three. 2nd has a few less mods and not beat on as much. The third is still on the shelf, but doesnt need to be used as i have the other 2 V1s. I prefer the V1 over the V2 though as i have another RC that uses V2 electronics. The V2 electronics dont feel like they have as much pep as the V1. The V1 uses the Dynamite 160 amp ESC, 750kv Dynamite motor, and for a while used the stock servo. The two that i use currently run Hobbystar 70 kg. I havent had a break on my most thrashed V1 since i created my own front upper arms. All i did was got some 8 or 10 mm (cant recall which it was) stainless steel threaded rod, nylon tubing, and a drill bit the same size as the threaded rod. I drilled the nylon tube (as i couldnt find anything with the right inside diameter). Drilled the inner and outer parts of the upper arm to fit the threaded rod. I put the rod in the rod end, slid on the nylon tubing, drilled out the inner part of the arm and then put that on. It never breaks, but it does pull out on heavy crashes because i used the wrong size drill bit. I have the 1/5 aluminum servo mounts on the two, aluminum bell crank on the two as well. My first one has an aluminum front diff housing, vitavon front shock tower, T-Bone everything except shock tower protection, and the losi branded front knuckles. I think thats it but cant recall for sure. My 1st V1 hasnt needed a replacement part in over a year (aside from tires), the other V1 needed a lower arm at one point and currently doesnt run my modded upper arm setup. I do know of the upper arm sutup from Vitavon, but i cant find the arms only

Nice man, sounds like you got them dialed in. 👍
Awesome build 👍🏼. Great content. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and time making this video for the RC Community
Thanks, appreciate it
Well who'd thought, the Baja Rey can do a bit of crawling lol. Great action footage mate 😀👍
Thanks! Going to try tougher terrain next time.
I just got one of these two days ago. I already had to take it to the car wash to clean it after going out today. It got a little muddy.
They are so much fun!
@@rcilluminati26 they are! I broke the steering knuckle playing with it at work this morning. Hot Racing steering knuckles on the way!
