First real shredd with the OG v1 baja rey the Mini Boss. Build your jumps longer than your wheelbase and you won't look like a dummy like me. This truck got me into the hobby of performance RC vehicles and is still in my fleet with some sweet updates and is still ripping to this day on the stock motor and esc. I love real full sized off road racing and baja trucks are the pinnacle of off road racing. I just wanted to build a fun rc that I would like to have and it turned out a lot of people really liked the truck.
Still learning how to jump a 4x4 rc I need to pony up and stay on the throttle in air, hopefully some more setup changes and some driver mod will help the nose dive on jumps. Handles normal terrain really well at any speed and no traction roll overs like when it was stock.

Servo Splitter 1 into 5, ended up not working, too much draw from all the lights, ended up just using servo extensions and the esc's extra channels.

Rolled the truck during testing and snapped off both Baja Design lights, moved to 10mm angel eyes led buckets, when I figure out a more permanent solution to mount them will have a video for that.
