Various Baja 5b questions and a possible new project

[lincpimp]

Well, I got the 5b running... Kinda disappointed with it. It does handle really well, but I think this engine has seen its day. No matter what we did with the high and low needles it would just not work very well. Not much top end, and it is noisy. Once it heated up the power really dropped off, so I think it may be due for a rebuild... Not that I have any interest rebuilding it!

So I pulled the engine and tank, and started eyeballing the leftover space. The motors look quite easy to mount, and I think I have figured out a center brace that will support the rear chassis. Worst part will be trying to get everything lined up correctly. I need to order the pinions and go from there, then I will be able to see if my motor mount ideas will work. So this project may take a while...
