it's a 5b v2.0 (never was a T), I believe the RTR versions come with gray/gunmetal parts. The SS kit (build it yourself) comes with the orange accessories I believe....
anyway, nice ride man.....I myself wanted to go with a monster green/black theme but no one anodizes that exact color I...
well I have done a ton to it already, but here is the order I just placed a few days ago, waiting on the parts to arrive.
heavy duty aluminum shock mount brace
phatdad v2 stainless turnbuckles
turtle billet rear tranny brace
turtle clutch system w/ 17t pinion
metal gear conversion for sfl-10...
just got through painting up my baja a new body, got tired of the ugly orange/white theme one.
pics:
ordered a lot of new parts as well that are on the way, more later.
check to make sure your motor plate isn't bent up, my buddy just had this same issue and it was bent I guess from jumping it. he kept spinning spur gears until he found this out.
take the bottom plate out (purple part) and set it on a flat surface and you'll be able to tell if its bent or not.
I'm interested to know how much you've put in this build already with your current stuff, and the new stuff that's coming in...
awesome build regardless....can't wait to see some videos of it.

here is the first video of my baja 5b, and my old savage x which I sold to my friend, hes registered on here as well under AndrewB I believe.
awesome how to, hopefully i'll be making use of it come my birthday which is this month....that's my next planned upgrade because one of my shocks is currently busted but I just keep on trucking with it, lol.
here is the order I went with so far, and more to come in the future when funds free up.
my list so far of mods:
40series Axial Beadlock's w/ Pro-line Mashers
OFNA Micro Failsafe
1600mAh Hump Pack
RPM Skid Plate
HPI Wheelie Bar
3-SPD Transmission kit
OFNA Linkage
nope, but it wasn't because of that I don't think. when I opened the diff up a bearing was shot, so that most likely caused it because my rears are still working.
also while I was in there I switched the front to 50k diff lube and cleaned everything up with some awesome cleaner before hand...
