MAZ Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 As some of you may know i'm currently rebuilding a baja (including an engine rebuild in a separate thread) and at the moment i'm really only after parts that are worth getting. But one thing i really like the look of and I admit is complete bling is a clear spur gear cover lol Has anyone got one of these? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Alloy-Transparent-Gear-Cover-for-HPI-KM-ROVAN-BAJA-5B-5T-5SC/161085869655?_trksid=p2045573.c100033.m2042&_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D29666%26meid%3D85a4cf35aac645498e094ffcec5c52a9%26pid%3D100033%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D261804444192 if anyone has got one, are they any good? its a bit pricey for what it is ya know?

flatout! Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I think its for a 2 speed that maz, i think anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almighty15 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Spend the money on performance parts first..... the bling can come after.... besides it's not that blingy covered in dirt and mud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I think its for a 2 speed that maz, i think anyway It's not. No real point in spending on stuff like that... One small slip up with a pinion bolt and that perspex will look like hell! Spend the money on parts that actually improve/repair your Baja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatout! Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Its not because it dosnt say so? Or is it obvious ? It looked a bit wide like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Its not because it dosnt say so? Or is it obvious ? It looked a bit wide like A 2 speed might fit, but it's not specifically designed just for a 2 speed or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderwolf Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 bit costly imo. i have been working on getting a fully laxan gear cover made so i can match the paint job of the shell to it but it won't be done for ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 How do you no that? Because if something has been designed specifically for one purpose or use, it would be aimed at that market. Don't you think the seller would at least mention it in the title and/or advert? People looking for a cover specifically for a 2 speed set up are likely to search '2 speed spur cover' or something similar. Having zero reference to a 2 speed in the advert makes it pretty obvious.

Oh How Original Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 If you like it, it's your money and choice. I just thought it was you who was doing the tight budget rebuild, I might have got the username wrong. And to me nearly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAZ Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 I wouldn't get it now - especially as the Baja and engine are still in pieces. I'll get it built first then buy pointless bling for it Haha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(-:AD:-) Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I dont really like the look of it... so I wouldn't get it. the standard plastic one is good enough, flex's when hit and dont show the scratches too bad. I had to upgrade to a carbon one(not that I mined because it looks lovely) because I kept melting the plastic ones with the side pipe.

Oh How Original Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 If you're melting it with the BZM, you've got it too low Ant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkpalmer Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Get a hole saw and drill out your plastic gear cover then get some Perspex and glue/fix inside! Job done and cheap! Python made/make some nice bling gear covers tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatout! Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Love the sound that comes out these baja with the bzm side pipe, mark35 has one on aswell and it sounds awesome man, iv got to get a bzm side pipe for when i get this reed iv managed to pick up cheap fitted in my baja , theres going to be some serious power difference like im sure the pipe makes to even the standed engines, a good pipe always makes the difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(-:AD:-) Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 If you're melting it with the BZM, you've got it too low Ant. I had to because of the mechatech cylinder. Maybe could be brought up a little bit (5mill) but not worth faffing around as its bolted on in two places now and dont want to grinding the brackets off to try and weld them back on 5mill lower. Bzm is a great pipe. Realy does open an engine up. Well worth the coin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titaniumrc Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Save your money the clear cover will stay clear for minutes, how many minutes depends on what ground you run on. But any sort of gravel track forget it, they go cloudy and not with dust. Lots of tinny stone marks, think of rubbing it with scotch pad. Then you have the nice looking alloy, take a look at the state of your stock plastic cover. Sent from the I6 via talktapa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
