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

[KYOSHOKEV]

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

[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

[walters]

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

Bajas are a bucketload of fun. don't handle that well, or stop that well ( mine doesn't!! ) but for some reason, they are just plain FUN.

I have got pretty attached to mine in a way that I never did with the FG clone, Sandrail, or any other car I own tbh. I have crashed it more, broken more bits on it, and I just don;t care. It keeps running and coming back for more. Has taken me a year near enough to get it how I want it, but was worth every penny

[Mark7616]

Ive got a 26cc head if you want to pull that stock 23cc off and stick something a bit more powerfull on.

[Carpmart]

Very good deal you've got there! Can you ask him if he has any more for sale at that price?

[carsonkev]

Mark7616 I'm goner keep it standard for now and get it broke in on the 23cc then I'll drop an exhaust on it. I've got a cy engine that I've been doing some diy porting on too( following the guide on the baja forum) chances are that will go boom but who knows it might end up in the baja

I don't think he's got any more at that price theres nothing in his shop judging by his feedback hes more of a buyer than a seller

Can wait till it shows up

[carsonkev]

The parcel force guy dropped the baja off next door today I was in bed bloody nightshifts heres a few pics the dog took a huge interest when I was un warping it

And one of the baja supprised at how much stuff you get tools and oils filters got a huge bag of stuff with it

Well happy with it for
