B****y brilliant.

Standard carb is probably a 668, which has a choke, the 813 is choke less and has an accelerator pump, most people don't use the 813 anymore as they are very difficult to hold a tune, either go back to the standard carb, or if you want, a 990 carb which again is choke less but without the pump, but to be honest its a waste on a standard engine, don't think you will find any performance gains just by fitting a different carb, but if you are thinking of putting a big bore head on, go for the 990.

There's 3 of us that have the Losi 5t, dadsavage, tectic and myself, and i think i speak for them both when i say the losi is FANTASTIC.

There cheap enough mate, fit a new one http://abbotsrc.co.uk/Walbro-WTWA-Carb-Plastic-Top-P1991822.aspx

Isnt the issue with the laut clutch down to the stock clutch bell having that large chunk of weld on the inside?

sounds like a plan, need to do some tweaking before raw.

If you want to get a bolt out that has red thread lock on, a tip given to me is to use a 60 or 80w soldering iron, hold it on the bolt head for about a minute and it does indeed come out a lot easier.

Yep the 5t or 5sc, really the same goes for those as for the 5b, bigger, heavier and the bodies are expensive, and from what i have heard the sc version body is not the strongest, but if you are just starting in 1/5th scale, i would stick with the buggy version, you can always upgrade to the truck @ a later date if you wanted, i did that, but to be honest, i kinda missed the buggy, which is why i still have mine, as well as the losi.

Hiya mate, i am in the lucky position to have both of these cars, and as has been stated, they are both very different beasties, depends on what you want really, probably for out and out fun just bashin, the baja is hard to beat, been out a long time, hop-ups are endless as are different engines, really the skys the limit, 2wd hard to control on a track, bashin huge larf. The Losi 5t, brilliant piece of kit, it handles superbly, seems tough, and will most likely be the biggest seller in 1/5 scale this year, expect to see hop-ups galore in the next few months, as the yanks have gone bonkers on them, for good reason. The Baja can be awkward to work on, due to the chassis configuration, everythings crammed in fairly tight, but once sorted it is pretty much run it till it breaks, the Losi, being the more track orientated will probably need more care and maintenance, but is so easy to work on, really is a doddle. Bottom line, whatever one you chose, you will have brilliant fun with, i have in both of mine, hope this has helped, good luck mate.

Im in, sounds great

As you say kev, brilliant day, new faces and sunshine, + we got to run your Baja over, all in all perfect.
