The Trooper Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 (edited) Well, decided to get shot of my MCD cos it wasnt all i expected it to be, more of a racers model, too much grip not enough slide ability at stock and just imo lacked the 'fun factor' so, traded it for a baja . Great decision if im honest, others might, and have dissagree'd but i am MORE than happy Hop ups: Turtle Racing Top Place Turtle Racing Rear Brace ( i think ) Yamadude Linkage Alot of stuff thats been anodised blue (hop up? ) (more to come, promise!!) And here's the photos, the same photos i will be looking back at in a years time saying "Dam its amazing how much its changed!

perruzo Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 You swapped your MCD for a baja? are you mad? i hope that you got some money on top to make the deal equal as MCD's are worth a lot more than bajas... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No i did not get any money on top, which isnt a problem because i wanted a baja and got one. at the end of the day, its only worth what others are willing to pay for it.... I am more than happy with the trade. Edited April 30, 2010 by The Trooper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Trooper Posted May 6, 2010 Author Share Posted May 6, 2010 Well, today i decided to attempt the roll cage mod, using happy lads guide (Great guide btw ) i managed to sucessfully completed my mission, but managed to cut my hand on it but, other than that really chuffed, i have attached the alloy tube to the rear end of the cage by nuts and bolts and to the front by body clips. Pics... and the injury and my DNA all over the tubing Thanks for reading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
