craigrobbo2k7 Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 i emailed him and he assured me that all hpi baja parts and upgrades DO fit and that it is an identical copy of the hpi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny-B- Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Ohh god ! this is sounding more and more attractive by the minute ! dont forget the extra charges though £280 for the package + £60 postage, its gonna come from Hong Kong so there is gonna be a customs charge (unless your extreemly lucky) which will be quite hefty, im not sure on the %age .

bb2120 Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 (edited) Nah... the Chinese are a bunch of criminals when it comes to filling out customs forms... I doubt you'll get hit by import if you ask them to mark it as a $5 gift. Edited November 14, 2007 by bb2120 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Terminator Posted November 15, 2007 Author Share Posted November 15, 2007 (edited) They always mark it as parts,toy or gift.BB2120 hit the nail on the head with that.Thinking i'm gonna take a shot at one,i'm not that into petrol yet as my Carson is still waiting for me to repair it and it's hard to find the time.This baja copy seems decent at £335 delivered.If it's a bin well like i've said before "you only gain knowledge on a model if you buy it and review it yourself"...Let us know what they're like when you've reviewed it Craig.I respect a guy who's willing to take a risk...

craigrobbo2k7 Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 2 hp ? pretty pants for a big engine isnt it ? my mach .26 has 2.6 Hi mate, its not all about HP that matters, these engines are normally around 2.4hp or about 3.4 with a tuned pipe, but the tourqe will be at least 8 times more than your engine which is used in the gearing conmination to shift the weight and get it to speed Hope this helps Thanks Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smiithy1 Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 hi mate i have just ordered one of these as they look quite good and i noticed that its only the servos that are a little less than the real baja and also what tuned pipe would be the best to fit i was thinking jetpro but dont no what one and also if you no a better one please say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigrobbo2k7 Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I believe the x-can is good and it means you dont need to have a big exhaust hanging out The excan is not a 'tuned' pipe/exhaust its just a fancey looking loud stock pipe and adds nothing to performance, at that baffles make it even worse, if you want any improvement get a hpi tuned pipe but thats not all too great your best off with a jetpro or DDM Thanks Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
