Thanks for the reply. I will get some oil and standard arms then. A filter cover. Also what you spary over them after a wash to stop the surface rust? Wd 40, duck oil????? Thanks

Hi Thanks for the replys. Great information I don't want to upgrade things for the fun of it so I will just get some spares as and when stuff brakes. Would you recommend changing the arms to alloy or should I keep them plastic? Is plastic better as it brakes rather than alloy that bends or brakes something else? I will get some service items then. Few questions there: What weight diff oil? What weight shock oil? Whats the best spark plug to get? Oh what do you use to spray over your rc cars after you clean them to stop surface rust? Oh all ready got kill switch just got to fit. 👍 Thanks

Hi all I have a rovan baja AS1. I just wanted to know which parts I should upgrade and keep spares off. I did read about changing the steering to Sym Steer Push-Pull Steering (don't think mine has it a std but don't know) Shock boots? So yeah any things you all recommend. Thanks much appreciated?

Hi I agree with you nitroholic and this is why I was asking the all the question. That's is why I thought the holes where blocked but they was not. But I can say that if I screwed the cap on with any of the shock sticking out, then there was no why of the shock going back in all they way. The only way the shock goes all the way in is the when you push the shock all the way in then screw the cap on. Now I don't know if I have a problem with the shock or the oil is wrong (came with car no idea of weight as it does not say on it) I did read somewhere that depends on where you have shock sticking out before you screw the cap on that is the rebound setting but I don't know. Thanks

Hi right had another go, got the problem one working so pulled the other front one apart did the same to that one. Now both the same feeling. I would say I not 100% happy but I think it will be fine. Going to do some running in then a recheck. Can I ask what weight oil should I use for front and back? Got no plans to go jumping with it lol. Right on to the diff now. Thanks again for all the help.

Update tryed the way lorry said still the same it doesn't go all the way in not far of but still a bit where as the other front one (which I have not pulled apart) goes all the way in. I pull the piston right down full up to top with oil let rest, then push piston back up slowly but all what happens is all the oil just flows over the top. Is this right or is there a problem here? Just want to get the thing back together and start running in. Been told to do this as well then was to change the weight of the oil as they don't know what is fitted from new. Do you know what weight for the diff I should use? Thanks

Thanks will give this a try when I get a min over the weekend and will report back. Thanks

Hi all Need some help here. I have just got a brand new rovan baja and was told to check the shock oil before I use it. Now I have never striped a shock a part before so I watch a YouTube video and I pulled it apart. So took the shock off baja removed spring and top cap. Now oil level look low as the video said to fill it all the way up. So I did. Put top cap on went to check it worked and it sort of did but I was not able to push the shock all the way in. I would say like only half way in then stops. So I Google and more YouTube and I have tried 4 more time and still same problem. I did see one video that pulled the bottom a part instead of the top but I have not tried this yet. Please any help guides or videos would be great. I did think about pulling the bottom a part and have a look for any problems? Just want to get this done so I can run it in. Thanks

Thanks all. I have got 2 cans of fuel put aside lol

Hi all I just got a rovan baja and looking forward to getting out there and using it. Had nitro before but always wanted petrol so I went for it. I am sure I will be on here asking silly questions and hopefully you don't mind lol. Oh also just brought a tamiya m05 project as well. So hi all!!!!!!! Thanks Mini ant
