Looking smart Will, the TGN looks familiar lol

[The Trooper]

yes mate, i wonder why it was clean... before i done some dohnuts on a dusty gravel path.... i got stones on my shoes

[The Trooper]

Nicely done, an well worth doing in my opinion

Yes mate, hopefully just to aid cooling and stop grass collecting under there... tis a fire hazard

[The Trooper]

New Dress...... and engine! one problem with the engine is it wont go in a straight line

[hoss]

Looking smart ......... Nice paint job Hiks did on that one

An i take it the new engine is a little on the powerfull side then

[The Trooper]

just abit Hoss, to go from a 23cc fuelie to an ESP 27.2 with stuffed crust or crank or soemthing.... its different

excuse the lack of knowledge, all i know is that engine shifts

Looking good Will,get the dogbones,cups and clutch upgraded as soon as now,that engine will damn sure put a lot more strain on the drivetrain and will need beefing up.My 26cc trashed the HPI HD dogbones and one of the diff cups once i'd ported it,went for the DS V2 Meaty Bones,DS Toobz cups and that Integy 3pc SD clutchkit and its been bob on since,not one problem apart from I snapped a dogbone pin through trying to get the power down on tarmac with the Hostile MX's,it didn't like that much and twang went the pin into 3 pieces....

I think you have the bug now dude,once a Baja gets into your blood its hard to let go,i've a new found spark about mine again,next for me is a rear Dom (silenced) and full DS26cc SIKK engine....

[jony nitro]

HAHA stuffed crust god I am still laughing, dont worry you should hear the things I ask:whistling: Glad you are enjoying the Baja

sounds like a plan mate, but i'm only upgrading what breaks.... (even tho i bought a new engine and shell when my others are fine )

Trying to keep costs down, but be assured when/if they do go i will get some nice hop upped ones

ATM i am satisfied with the visual side of things for how long i do not know ... possibly til next pay day?????

[Mr Terminator]

Keeping costs down and the HPI Baja = not very likely... Mines stripped down again now,gonna get it all cleaned tomorrow,just waiting on the rear billet hubs,front and rear billet shock tower support and front billet bulkhead,its a never ending process but I love it,I should have it just about right for October when I get a FTX Punisher to keep her company....

[The Trooper]

i can still try eh?

[The Trooper]

had it out today and decided i need better tyres them dirt busters have not traction at all on wet grass... or dry grass for that matter

a photo of my baja after today with my little cousin good at steering but throttle controls a little to be desired of

[Sphinx]

You got to love the petrols, they love to eat grass and what else is in the grass as mine is stinking the shed out after yesterday lol

[The Trooper]

Video of me testing my new engine... the wee lad at the start is my cousin (the guy above in the photo) , he legged it towards me, til i restarted it then legged it away from me

[hoss]

Wet grass ....... plus baja = ......... DONUTS

what you need is 4WD :lol:

[jony nitro]

Dont mention donuts paul might be reading it sshhhh, nice engine by the way

[The Trooper]

Thanks guys and Hoss, ur right... the thing is dying on a tune tho, still really boggy, especially on the top end

[Netcon]

the kiddy running away

looks ace mate! really like the colour scheme and those blue bead locks brought it together nicely

[The Trooper]

was out ragging it about a field today, having a great time in the sun and then this happened

so i need to sell some bits to get new wheels and tyres

[hoss]

Very typical for HPI 'DIRT BUSTERS' An ESPECIALLY if your doing DONUTS .............. you wouldnt do that would you

maybe go for 'PROLINES', 'HOSTLIES', or 'GRP'

As a replacement
