Ok so finished for now. Enough to get me out at the weekend and see what it need if any and got from there.

There are still a few little bits but left to do but only take 5 min to do them and then there are the things that i want to change or get also which will get as i go along

So new set of rear arms and fully rebuilt rear shocks

Have done the front too but have not got a close up pic for some reason

Then just so general pics of it cleanish. The oil was a nightmare to get off the rear of car. just hope she doesn't look for pan scrubber :whistling:

I also did the mod to the engine cover while i was at it to allow me access to head bolts and to aid cooling :good:

TR front shock Brace ( or any in same colour as i have ) - Still the cheapest, just deanodise them so they match in natural finish ? http://www.rcmodelz....brace-black.php

Front Bumper - Nige ? http://www.freeprawn...umper-aaa3.html

Rear Pipe instead of side pipe - Same as I run http://cgi.ebay.co.u...=item1c1683ba79

I reckon you could Ebay the GBE Pipe and cover the cost of the Dom copy, Brace & Bumper :whistling:

It is going mate i much prefer the rear pipe. Had a blast out today but the servo horn is slipping on the servo so new horn needed :(

But it goes well but only got about 5 min with it before it went so wasn't happy but never mind still had Spider

Have decided that while i am off after my op i will probably give my cars a rebuild but to do it on the baja i will need some new screws.

Now i have had a look on the usual places like ebay and stuff but can only find them in kits and i don't really need a full kit. I only really need the m5 flat ones but want some decent ones.

If anyone know where i can get them loose could you let me know as some of mine are going to need the dremel on them

Thanks Ste
