[drummerguy101]

sweet looking!!!! baja :resp:

 

[Ozzy-Time:)!]

what kind of body is on that baja

 

[soulja]

its the Proline Desert Rat Truck conversion kit ...part #3270-80. here is the link to it http://www.prolineracing.com/p-620-desert-rat-fits-hpi-baja-5b.aspx

 

[Ozzy-Time:)!]

did you have to buy long body post

 

[Ozzy-Time:)!]

and was it painted already or did you paint

 

[Grumpy1822]

An oops with the screwdriver? Looks like blood on the handle. Been there, done that. Nice truck.

 

[soulja]

thanks drummer

 

[soulja]

i will post pics of the body post for ya in a few minutes

 

[Combuster]

that is a sick looking baja:resp:

 

[soulja]

thanks max!

ozzy the body post came wth the body. the rear body post is just the long rear tmaxx body post...and the front is a body post that goes in existing holes in the frame.....
TOTAL TIME TO COINVERT TO A TRUCK??? 6 MINUTES TOPS....THE LONGEST PART WAS TAKING THE WHEELS OFF AND SCREWING THE OTHERS ON!!
the proline kit gives baja owners the option of going buggy or truck... and its fairly reasonable for what it is. my buddy bought this body kit off of ebay for me for cheaper than they go...he and i traded some parts. here are the body post pics and how quickly they come off

No problem man, it was my pleasure... that body conversion looks pretty slick...

 

[Ozzy-Time:)!]

check spare parts bad

 

[soulja]

i checked dude...not one in there. guess i'll have to wait until friday......that'll probably be when it comes......

 

[Ozzy-Time:)!]

did you call hpi,they sent me a new body for my baja when i built it

 

[soulja]

dang it man.....my bushings still haven't gotten here........i guess i might have to fabricate some!!!!! right here lately tower has been a little slow..... it took a week and a half to get my baja here where it usually take 4 days! i guess the fact that they are sending it snail mail doesn't help either.............

 

[soulja]

well he's the baja about 99.6% finished.... i will post some day pics tomorrow.....tell me what u guys think
