Hello everybody here on MSUK It's been a long time since I posted a build thread on here, my savage was the last one in 2010. Some people already have seen one of my 5th scales, the losi and I sold my baja for it in 2012. I have regretted selling my 5b as it was a good basher with some upgrades for better reliability, so last month I took the 1st steps to rectify the non baja situation. Been collecting parts for a while & will build myself one from the ground up. I thought this time I would do a build blog and post all progress in this thread, so what you see is where I am at. My losi's & this baja are all blue, from top to bottom as it's my thing plus it's totally custom

Hi folks im throwing this out here for you guys to see on be half of my completely computer illiterate friend. He is of the opinion that what he has done to his mk1 5b no one wold like so I will show you some pics and let you decide. Bit of background for you he has time and no dosh and I gave him a 5b so he could bash with us, tbh it turned out to be pretty rotten having sat pre bashed for over 2 years but we cant let that stop us. See what you think. How it started. Making a new upper bumper Mocking up Motor makeover Mocking bumper to chassis Cant buy braces? No probs make em Bumper gets mounted. Whilst we're at it we may as well add some bash plates And yes all the shine is hand polished alloy. Thanks for looking, Jay

I have a HPI Baja 5B SS and some of yous may know me from the other forum. I do not know what is wrong with my steering servo. When the car is lifted from the ground, the steering seems tow work fine, but when it is on the ground, it struggles to move to the right and the left. Thern, when it is moving, espicially at high speeds, it does not turn right at all, only left? Someone please tell me what is going on?! It's not a good idea to take it out with dodgy steering and no brakes!

Well here I am, my first thread in the Petrol sub-forum! I am now the proud owner of an HPI Baja 5b 2.0 and a very happy RC enthusiast!! I got it today and if anybody read my status update from a couple of days ago they would have know this was long overdue, I have been looking for a while. I got this Baja form a guy on eBay and it's almost brand new, apparently only had half a tank through and from the looks of the underside of the chassis I would say this to be true. It's mint and started first time!! The only upgrade this came with is the RPM Spark Plug Guard, the rest of the truck is stock. I do intend on beefing up certain parts but don't intend on going OTT, famous last words I hear y'all say! lol Here's a quick pic as it stands now, odds on how long it stays like this?? Will update this thread with pics, videos and upgrades etc. Comments, suggests and advice all welcome, cheers guys.
