Sadly it doesn't look like I'm going to have the time or the funds to finish this as I'm in need of a cheap 1:1 runabout that takes priority over this project.
Here's how the baja stands at the moment:
I have built it from the ground up with some of the best parts available!
Spec list is as follows:
Innovative-RC enclosed chassis (black)
Innovative-RC under chassis brace (black)
Innovative-RC front upper plate (black)
Innovative-RC hinge pins (full set, fronts fitted, rears will be included in sale)

Innovative-RC full bearing kit (rubber shielded, front hub ones used, all others needed are included)
Innovative-RC front arm brace, lower brace and front upper brace (all in black)
Innovative-RC rear upper plate (not yet fitted)
RPM front bumper
RPM front upper and lower 'A' arms
Fullkill HD quick release throttle linkage (BNIP, not yet fitted)
Vertigo clipless front axles
Vertigo extended rear hubs (to fit front axles)
HPI rear hubs (again to fit front axles, these are the only used part included)
Turtle Racing shock tower brace combo (black)
GH front shock supports (black)
GH rear shock supports (black, not fitted but included)
HPI hubs carriers x3 (2 built up with bearings and fitted)
Darksoul billet servo saver

There are a few little bits that need sorting on what has been done so far, these are:
- Shim hinge pins (only front lowers that really need doing, 2x M8 washers will do this)
- Make or buy camber spacers for upper arm ends (again could be done with washers to make a 2mm and 4mm spacer for each side)
- Shim front hubs to remove slop on the axles (have a link for the kit, only
