Trooper's 'OptimusBaja'


The Trooper

Recommended Posts

Well, decided to get shot of my MCD cos it wasnt all i expected it to be, more of a racers model, too much grip not enough slide ability at stock and just imo lacked the 'fun factor' so, traded it for a baja biggrin.gif .


Great decision if im honest, others might, and have dissagree'd but i am MORE than happy :good:

Hop ups:

Turtle Racing Top Place
Turtle Racing Rear Brace ( i think ) laugh.gif
Yamadude Linkage
Alot of stuff thats been anodised blue (hop up? :rofl: )

(more to come, promise!!)


And here's the photos, the same photos i will be looking back at in a years time saying "Dam its amazing how much its changed! laugh.gif "

You swapped your MCD for a baja? are you mad? whistling.gif i hope that you got some money on top to make the deal equal as MCD's are worth a lot more than bajas...

No i did not get any money on top, which isnt a problem because i wanted a baja and got one. at the end of the day, its only worth what others are willing to pay for it....

I am more than happy with the trade.
