Dunno about the speed but a tuned pipe would improve speed, as would a better carb, to can change the engine or you could but a big bore kit on your current engine

Another way is to change the gearing, but I'd it was me I would go for a better pipe and a carb, then the next upgrade would be a big bore :)

I have seen top speed on grass and grass was about 3inch of 41mph. That was with a OBR motor.

On tarmac the speed will increase a fair bit as there less resistance.

And yes you can upgrade the engine

Newbies never use the search engine...

There some wickedly fast Bajas out there with race posted engine ... as well as pinion/spur gear changed...

And

What is the top speed you can reach with any upgrade ?

Also can you upgrade the engine on the baja 5b

my baja is the V1 and i did a speed run on a long road while sitting in my dads car,it did around 40mph that was my 23cc engine

with my other V1 i did the same but i had a big bore kit installed and it did around 50-55 mph :thumbsup:

yes a stock 23cc- on wet grass

Don't mean to doubt you mate but that seems a little bit too fast for a 23 even if it is running a clone dom.

This is my friend baja running 29 with a predator pipe

fastest he got was 39

I got 29 with dom on and i get just under his top i had was 37.

A obr motor in the other baja only got 41

Stock about 45mph a mildly modiffied baja can hit 55-60mph, 2-speed ported bajas can hit i believe around 80-90mph.

And the king of bajas can do 100mph....

Edit: this a single speed baja!
