I went over $10,000. on my Baja...
I'm moving in to a new house on Dec 1st so my budget is cut off until I have an idea of how the bills will be in the new place... So here are a couple pics of my Baja after adding the last few pieces last night. I wont be able to add much more until the new year so I figure this is a good time to post up my final list for the year and pics of the insanely addictive HPI Large Scale!

Here is my List and the Total value (Year to Date) wasted including Shipping, Exchange rate, Taxes, brokerage fees, duty and Paypal skimming off the top! This is 8 Months of work, more than 150 hours of wrenching total.

Enjoy!

Shy_Gur: Not for sale. Sorry. I use my Baja! I just don't run on dirt anymore... Grass and pavement only! You would have to fork over at least $6,000.00 USD + shipping before I would even consider the offer anyhow. I'm a builder not a basher. This addiction is beyond a hobby for me...


Thanks for the kind words everyone
