HPI Bajas

[Gee]

I just got one last friday. It was a brand new kit a fellow put together but never had it started. But this retarded monkey is having problems starting it. Had it going for a few minutes then spent the next several afternoons trying again. Finally got it started yesterday and took it out for break in today. Was running alright. I was easy on the throttle then some mud puddles later the idle started dropping and I made some adjustment but to much one way and killed it when I hit the brakes. Spend the next hour in the brush trying to get the pig started again. Finally took off my belt and strapped it to the front and pulled it home. Frustrated as hell, I started up the savage x ss and made some noise to relieve the pressure. These things flood too easy and when they do it takes forever to get them started again. I really felt like mega hucking this sucker a few times already. A good thing I was wore out from cranking on it and by the time I caught my breath I had calmed down. I imagine it's just a learing curve but I've been startling weed eaters my whole life and haven't had one this freaking easy to flood. It's a brand new kit but I am thinking my first order may consist of another carb to try out. I haven't even had it full throttle yet.

Nice baja billy. What are some essential upgrades for a kit?

Is that the dominator v2 on the your billy? Do you have a picture showing the ass end and the pipe a little better? How does it sound?

These things have problems with water?


Slowkrawl. I like the flames. Looks cool. Why are you getting a kill switch? Is there something wrong with the one on yours?
