A good friend of mine is into big Scale racing and he just ran his first national with the Baja. He TQ'd and if he wouldn't have had a bit of bad luck in the final, he would have won (he finished 4th). Now the good part for me was that after the race, he let me run a tank with his car.
I'm very, very, very tempted now. Not only does the Baja look amazing, it actually works !!! And I love the fact that you can run an entire final of 30 min. without having to pit.
I had a talk with his sponsor (the HPI importer here) and found out he's looking for another team driver. Because of my previous 'accomplishments' in the 1/10th off-road scene and the fact that I wasn't exactly slow during my test run, I could be receiving a partial sponsorship to run the Baja in our nationals !
