I love this car ;)...... you need go to a 1/5 fuel competition ...... you will win with this beast

Thanks mate, I bash with some guys who drive the petrol ones, i can follow them without even hitting full throttle. But i will run out of power way before they need more fuel.

Hi Mate, great build I stumbled across your thread recently ive got a 2wd maxx based
baja I used angle and plate to build mine - can you tell me where you found the channel
for your main chassis I'm upgrading to a new steering system as the Maxx one cant cope with the big tyres and the old holes for the posts are in the wrong place so I may as well redo the chassis while I'm at it!

Looking very good. But where can I get my hands on some windows for Baja? I've got a savage conversion, and I could use some tinted windows. Any ideas?

I have been running the Baja in sand that’s a little wet and have found that it builds up in the inside of the rim, it makes the rim very heavy and unbalanced and because of this the Hex’s and hex pins aren’t liking it at all. I have got hold of some 24mm hex bar so I can make some hex’s to the length I like and sort out how the pin’s fit, might either go with 2 pins or 1 bigger one. I could even move the pin closer to the outer end of the shaft.

May even make up some longer drive cups so that the load spread’s the hole length of the hex.

Thanks for the tips on the windows by the way. Forgot about that. :)

And you should maybe get some dish rims, if possible? Or even fabricate some sort of shell to protect the rims?
