This is the kick off of my 70's Baja Racer Project. It is based on some vintage pictures from the Mint 400 or other Baja races from the 70' or early 80's. The chassis is a mixture of SRB front end and chassis and Scorpion rear end. I prefer the Scorpion trailing arm version instead of RR swing arms because trailing arms are much more realistic for those racers. Current status is more or less a mock up rolling chassis, to see if everything fits together. And yes, it fits very well. Next I will trim the chassis and modify the body.

That's a bit different. But very nice. Looking forward to seeing more, twin rear shocks look very cool.

Awesome!!! Are you gonna keep the shocks in the rear? Or go for RC4WD 80mm real scale shocks?

These are RC4WD dual spring scale shocks. But I will also test RC4WD's ultimate scale shocks. Might experiment with different internal coils then. Also final position of shock mount is not decided yet. Body will be modified and also some work on the chassis still.... so alot to do
