Merlin Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 (edited) If you want a quietish pipe that produces a good amount of power throughout the rev range, the Meilke is a fanstastic choice.. Its probably one of the quietest pipes for the badger.. Me personally prefer the crosser sound hehhe Edited August 25, 2008 by Merlin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Terminator Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 Yeah,I was told about the Mielke but theres no way i'd have a side pipe,they're minging,the TGN can looks like a tumour... The rear Dom or Jetpro V3 are the only two i'd have out of all the tuned pipes.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlin Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I have GBE sidebleed, and am very happy with it, but baja number 2 is getting a rear dom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbo Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Oh my, she's been out on her first run and what a machine, especially after the XRC. destroyed the school footy pitch doing donuts and hanging the back end out drift style every where even destroying the rears on car park doing donuts, the xrc would hang the tail out in the wet or if you lifted and powered again getting your timing spot on if you were lucky but this thing, need a bigger field me thinks.

Kool, i'm not sure whether to keep my Hyper or sell it and save up for a good petrol like ur Baja 5B (most likely the RTR) or the FG Marder sometime next year Edited August 28, 2008 by Furious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin34 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 (edited) Mr.T when you say roll cage mod do you mean that you can remove the front of the cage without the rear like i have seen pics of on other cars?If so do you have a link or pic of it?Thanks.Just seen your pics in the gallery and its the mod i was thinking of.What size tubeing do i need?Thanks again.

HappyLad Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Mr.T when you say roll cage mod do you mean that you can remove the front of the cage without the rear like i have seen pics of on other cars?If so do you have a link or pic of it?Thanks. Yes - thats it. Carl sent me some aluminium tube so that I could do the same with mine - top work You simply cut the roll cage a couple of cm forward of where the rear shock brace is. Slide the tube over the 2 split ends to join them together again - acts like a splint. I used large bodyclips through holes drilled in the tube/rollcage to secure it. Works brilliantly and saves a load of hassle getting the rollcage off for cleaning etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyLad Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 What size tubeing do i need?Thanks again. IIRC - the rollcage is 10 or 11 mm in diameter - you'll need to check this with some calipers. You want the fit to be quite snug so there is no play inside the join. I was in B&Q the other evening and noticed they had stock of aluminium tubing in various diameters. Might be worth a try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin34 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 (edited) Thanks happylad .I just got my baja lastnite and that is a must have mod.it is a total pain haveing to take the rear shock mount off everytime you remove the cage (This is my second baja).I got rid of the first because believe it or not i was spending to much on hopups but here i go again!!I just have to have some of modifieds parts off of hbf rofl Edited August 29, 2008 by martin34 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbo Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Been out this weekend and put two tanks per day through her so i think it should be ok to swap pipe over now? Been on a moto x track thats got some good jumps on it but is a bit loose so back end snaking every where doing donuts and sliding rear out all the time, what a toy. i'm so glad i sold that XRC-2. Here's a couple of pics with no mods yet These tyres aren't going to last long though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuggsK100RS Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Yea you need to get some hostile tires very good tires Hostile website I have ran almost two tanks though my Baja and I have used the Tuned pipe from the start never even bothered with that black thing.

Here's a couple of pics with no mods yet These tyres aren't going to last long though looking good mate,will be much better with the tuned pipe but still wont be as fast as the xrc rofl . A good bit of news i no longer have to sell my baja well happy now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Terminator Posted September 3, 2008 Author Share Posted September 3, 2008 Well before I got ill I had the Baja out and ended up snapping the pinion bolt just slightly took the edge off the spur gear at rhe back end,tidied the spur up and that is still great and managed to get the snapped bolt out the clutchbell.I think a Turtle CB and ramtech cover/carrier are in order,already got a 12.9 pinion bolt and think i'm gonna order a HD pinion too.The carrier isn't upto the task imo and with the HPI CBs not running as true as i'd like,that seems to put strain on the bearings and have chewed the rubber sheild off the CB side. I think its time to put the 1/8th buggy up for sale to fund the next lot of upgrades,still waiting on my stuff from RC Demon as some bits weren't in stock in the colours I wanted,also ordered a full set of Dark Soul axle extenders from Tulare Hobbies,wish i'd of ordered the lot from them guys in the first place,seems I would have got them quicker.... Oh yeah,i've found three sheets of alloy mesh I got years ago to repair a fairing on a bike,its the stuff that bridges the gaps in auto bodywork to stop the filler falling through,Plastic Padding alloy mesh,awesome,just made for the case mesh mod.... Glad you don't need to sell now Matt,thats great news fella.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackariusjones Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Just a word on warning, the diff in those uses slightly thinner cross pins (8mm instead of the 10mm ones the real-deal uses) so be prepared to fork out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
