I think we should leave this one open. Even if it's just to chat about random crap and make fun of each others driving.

Yes, I believe they have Fraxxas plugs. Fake Traxxas plugs. I advise making a adapter for Deans Plug. If you have a slash, you need a Traxxas Female attached to a Deans Male with about 1.5 inch of wire in betweeen. If you have a Blitz, cut off the tamiya connector, solder on a Deans Male to the ESC wires. Then build a traxxas adapter. This is a Female Deans to a Male Traxxas. The reason to have both is that most of us run deans but Jon doesn't. But we all share batteries on Short Course day. So it is beneficial to be able to do both. Your Shopping list should look like:
For adapters:
Traxxas plug, male X1
Traxxas Plug, female x1
Deans Plug, male x1
Deans Plug Female x1
For Batteries:
# of batteries x female plug of choice (Traxxas or Deans)
For Both,
the appropriate size shrink wrap

My advise is to use deans as your primary plug due to its availability on island. I think the Traxxas is a better plug due to its size and ease of soldering. But, I would use Traxxas plugs, not the Fraxxas that RCP has. They are OK but not as good as real traxxas plugs.

Default HPI Baja 5B SS kit F/S

NIB Baja 5B SS kit for sale. This is the one with the 26cc motor, tuned pipe, upgraded clutch, and alloy parts. Bought it to race in Germany but not going there anytime soon now. At $800 I'm taking a $130 loss but no time to build and race it. For another $120 will throw in a painted 5T body (white w/ blue/red graphics) and mount posts when they arrive in the mail.

Mike
