phoar.....haven't been here in a while *blows cobwebs off of thread*

Took the Baja out the other day for the first time since....er....july! Half a tank later at the nlb meet and the throttle servo went at half throttle! New pants later and in order to brake i needed to accelrate so the servo worked and then brake!
3x Towerpro MG995's ordered, cost me £23 for Giant Cod RC. I have an uprated head sitting here aswell, i think i might fit that on today, and start looking in the car booty's for a mini moto can! Currently got a Vauxhall Astra turbo oil pip for an exhaust, ahhh my dad's amazing bodge jobs!

Do not fit the tower pros to the throttle ahmet, they are wayy too unreliable bud

Okay mini update, my makeshift carb is pretty much dead and my "pipe" scrapes the ground on bumpy road so an upgrade was in order!
So I've bought an ss pipe and 668 carb for a reliable power hike, and infers crossed I'll be getting a half decent filter today , I'm going to see how the engine runs with the new system before fitting the uprated head, very tempted to sell of a car or two and get a 29cc head!

Stripped the car down and cleaned out around 2 handfuls of grass and dirt from under the fuel tank and engine! Taken off the g23lh head and the piston is a bit damaged so that's been replaced and I've stuck on my cy 23cc head, decent compression, hopefully my new carb and pipe arrive tomorrow, need to get the head and crankcase polished up on the buffer.
Should be a nice power hike!

Lol yea nice double post

The buffer really brings up a nice polish on the cast, although it does take a while to get a clean finish. My engine is already billet alloy and the clutch case i had was the usual cast, The buffer made a VERY nice job of it, looks like the rest of the engine now. Just watch you dont get any of the polish or bits of buffer crap inside the engine

i have to agree,

there is a reason there so cheap, there made with low quality materiel's and you never know when they will give up on you,

a servo is a small price to pay compared to having to scrap the baja completely because it got stuck at wot and hit something

[nosmonkey]

Yeah I might put my hitec hs645. I've modded the air filter so it gets a LOT more airflow

I will troop but I'm on my phone!
Pipe and carb arrived today so I fitted them onto the slighty modded head, raining now but maybe tomorrow I'll give it a   test and see how it is.
Oh and I fixed the killswitch

Becasue they're filled with extra virgin olive oil and i don't want them to leak!

And gav, the rear end is really soft!

List to do now:

-  New rear wing
-  Small rear spring things
- Get a 29cc head (once i get some money!)

Getting 2.4 for christmas aswell

I see that you are missing the small rear springs that probably they look silly

Wings are less than a tenner from DDM
