There ok out of the box mate.  Only things you NEED to do would be add a kill switch.  As for recommended mods the stock clutch carrier wont last 5 mins so best to swap that over for an alloy carrier, outerwares on things like air filter and pull start.  Things like clutch bell mod will help.  Then just bits and pieces as you see fit.  The 23cc motor isnt bad its high revving but lacks torque so is not the best on grass I would be inclined to stick a head kit on it. If you take that route have a look at a nice 28.5cc head kit its a good alrounder.  Then just mod to strengthen it and tart it up as you like.

Nice one kev. Well no need to tell you about kill switch. I would say side guards to stop stuff getting into car, windows, roll cage mod tubes and depending on exhaust you going to run a good back bumper. Oh front chassis under brace if you going to jump it and maybe front bumper. With every car as you know just give it a good once over

Also might be an idea to do a mesh mod on the engine to protect the fly wheels or they do an outwares now for the block

Thanks for the comments guy this is not my first large scale tho check my singnture

Not sure what to do with this now he's demanding I pay £7 towards his charges on PayPal I've just sent a payment of £482 now do I pay £7 or sick buy my guns its against eBay rules to he did say he preferd cash but to me that doesn't rule PayPal out what to do ?

[Nitroholic]

Ask him to send you a seperate invoice through PayPal to pay the fees. Then...once you have the Baja you can complain to E-Bay and you have proof of what he did. Prevents the deal going sour until you have your hands on the car!

[carsonkev]

That's a good idea sent him an email asking for the invoice about half hour ago not heard owt yet thanks

£460?

You got yourself a right bargain there! even with the fees.

The stock 2.4 radio isn't compatable with a killswitch so that's a bonus, you'll only end up buying another brand

Good buy

i thought it was a bargin a pretty much jumped at it i did want one that had had a few quid spent on it with all the right mods but the ones ive been watching on ebay have gone for silly money or not sold at all because they are priced so high.

at least i have a fresh one that i get to run in thats if the sale dont fall through ive still not heard from him regarding the fees ive sent the payment god knows what hes on with now

ive got a flysky gtb3 on its way it was for the carson but might have to use it on this

[stebro]
