Looking good Will,get the dogbones,cups and clutch upgraded as soon as now,that engine will damn sure put a lot more strain on the drivetrain and will need beefing up.My 26cc trashed the HPI HD dogbones and one of the diff cups once i'd ported it,went for the DS V2 Meaty Bones,DS Toobz cups and that Integy 3pc SD clutchkit and its been bob on since,not one problem apart from I snapped a dogbone pin through trying to get the power down on tarmac with the Hostile MX's,it didn't like that much and twang went the pin into 3 pieces....Posted Image

I think you have the bug now dude,once a Baja gets into your blood its hard to let go,i've a new found spark about mine again,next for me is a rear Dom (silenced) and full DS26cc SIKK engine....Posted Image

Keeping costs down and the HPI Baja = not very likely...Posted Image Mines stripped down again now,gonna get it all cleaned tomorrow,just waiting on the rear billet hubs,front and rear billet shock tower support and front billet bulkhead,its a never ending process but I love it,I should have it just about right for October when I get a FTX Punisher to keep her company....Posted Image
