Few bits turned up today hostile hubs, IRP heims, killer rc turnbuckles and spacers, ramtech springs, hostile boots, and some screws from a supplier for me to look at to put a screw kit together.

Well after last weeks epic bash I didnt rebuild the baja after I jet washed it down on Moday as I waited for today to fit all of the new parts.

So first up I started at the front, on went the RPM Arms, ramtech springs, shock socks and limiting cables:

Popped the IRC brace and RPM bumper back on front end was complete:

Then on to the rear end, again fitted the Killer RC turnbuckles and spacers, then the hostile rear hubs and IRP Heims, on went the RPM arms Ramtech springs these have really stiffened up my rear end now then on went the hostile boots and limiting cables. I need to make up some more sets of my dogbones so I will fit them when I take the diff apart to fit a new layshaft and TR diff.

Then I dropped in my newly built 28.5 OBR Race port fitted the New wt990 and dropped it all in. Next up was the full force fuel line kit and it was good to go.

looking nice there mark.


little tip if you not running the side pods (like you i got bored of getting grass out) take the pod cover things off and trim the plastic under guard.

as there is no pod the covers have no use other than alittle extra weight.

and as you can trim the under guard it stops it getting pulled off as easy.

yea, near the front you got 2 points, basicly smooth them out, they are what catch on the ground and cause the under guard off, removing them makes this problem much less likly.

as i took of them cover/deflectors off i was able to cut more of...
