Just picked up a bj4 non-worlds!

[drs92]

Exactly as the title says, its the first version with the side battery tray. Got it only for $100 bucks! Wanted a b44 because I got an Rc8 but the bj4 is very close enough. Im going to be racing and im going to put a 8.5t brushless system in, most at my track reccomended. Anyway im looking for some tips on this buggy and what you guys think of it? Thanks Derek!

the bj4 is a great car love mine to bits

how is it with out the kit? New to electric so tips on this would help. Also im going to be running a 8.5t brushless system. Is that a fast sys for offroad? They reccomend it at my track

I'm using one for my racing - my skills as a driver are the limiting factor. It's a great car, enjoy it. Also really, really tough - I hit a concrete block last night with mine, coming to a sickening, dead stop. It was hard enough to cause the screws holding the battery posts to snap clean off, yet the only other thing I broke was a wishbone.

if that is what your track recomends then it will be fine there are faster motors on the market and there are slower it all depends on driving skill and the type of race track you race on for example racing indoors on a small wood floor a 13.5 is plenty quick enough where as outdoors on a large astro track a 5.5 or 6.5 is the way forward.

I'll join the topic starter I picked up a non WE Bj4 today. It's from -05, been driven one race, then been standing in the shelf for all years. Do i need to say mint condition? An amazing piece of machinery work!

I bought it because i was looking for a 4WD with stick pack and inch threads.

*EDIT* brain fade...

Does it have a Delorean bodyshell? It must do, because the original BJ4, correct me if I'm wrong, appeared first in 2004...

I think we need a photo to tell you what you've got.
