OOoook boys....
Yes This New 5SC Body looks cool Its Fine?..
Nothing wrong with it.. and if you dont like the mudFlaps then Simply take them off...?
and the Remainder of it is SAME AS 5T. aside from New DogNuts hah
and a few other minor changes.
" The sagging Rear end" ?? Ugh.. Its NOT SAGGing At all..
For 1 Its just the pictures and what your seeing with the New awesome body Only apprears that way.. People dont seem to understand the simple
Fact they can Tightn Up the Rear shocks and Front Shocks TO get ANY Baja
Jacked Off the Ground "" Plenty High..."" reguardless of that
Heavy 26ccFuilie I See so many Low rider saggy ass Bajas.. and they dont have to look that way.. YOU need that suspension reasonably tight If your gona be jumping it. but not Tooooo Tight Or you'll get bounce..causing
Roll overs.
Motor weighing it down. If you tune your shocks just right..
the 5SC.. with have Plenty Rise in the REAR. So squash that negative comment. Persoanlly All i want to know is.. Will this 5SC body Fit on the
5T frame.. with Minor body Pin adjustments...?
The new Look is cool... But F- The wheels.. they are just P**sy
square.. Tires Stock looking or not.. you know your gona want to
replace them with some nice Excavatores..
******k that was my rant*****

Im going to say yes, this will fit.
all the baja platforms use the same chassis (front/rear) A arms, shocks ect.. electronics ect.
besides the body and bumpers, mudflaps, the 5SC has other mods, which i hope will be Running Production Changes for all models.
the newly designed rear hub. the front hubs have the modified axle to eliminate the Eclip. New Truck Spoked Rims and it comes with Hot Bodies tires instead of the HPIs. there are also afew other minor changes as well like the new beefier 9mm drive shafts and drive cups
bu the base platform between the SC and the T (and the Bs for the most part) are identical.

As big as those bodies are....
I saw a used Baja 5T for sale at the local track for $550.
A freind of mine almost bought it. $1350 truck for $550 is a steal.
Ive seen one run before, but they are NOT CHEAP by any means.

They upgraded and downgraded with the SC at the same time in my opinion. Yes, it has some upgraded parts that are supposed to be more durable, but it also got plain fugly in my opinion. I love the pre-runner look of the 5T and the 5SC body and bumpers are just boring. But with that being said, it seems the SC is the better deal. If I got the SC I would have to change the bumpers and body to a 5T or an aftermarket body.
Why is the differential part number different from the 5T? What has changed?
