Nice one, thats great! Let us know how you get on with it and if it needs much work to race with the other big boys.

According to my mate, it mostly needs a good exhaust system and some alternation to the clutch to prevent it from wearing down. The clutch bell has openings in the front which allow sand to enter and wear the clutch shoes down VERY fast. There's also some wheel rub at full suspension travel that needs correcting. A Big Bore kit would be nice but not vital. He claims the suspension is superior to the other 'big boys'. Looking at my laptimes at the end of my test run, I tend to agree with him. Having never driven a big scale buggy before, I've set some very decent times. Credit mostly to the Baja.

I'm not sure yet if I'm going to do it. As said, I would receive partial support but I'm spending enough as it is on my 1/10th and 1/8th buggies. :D

does anybody know who imports the Jetpro pipes for the baja
cheers

I belive its Sb racing Micheal, http://www.sbracing.co.uk

Apparently, the Samba pipe doesn't add much performance. He's going to test the Jetpro pipe this weekend. That one sure looks nice enough.

thanks Ben

Well, I finally decided : picking up the Baja today.

My relations and experience in the 2-stroke motorcycle world (I ride an Aprilia RS250 stroker) will come in handy, as my first job will be to report the stock engine and find (or weld) a decent expansion pipe.

I hope to have it all ready for the next round of the Big scale nationals over here on the 10th of september.

I couldn't get the video to play but I found this one on youtube not sure if its the same but it pretty good, not sure how they got the footage from the air! Unless its a big budget pro job maybe.

did anyone else see Adams Baja at telford?

OMG it was massive, it looked so cool too, propper off-roader

I had to go over and stroke the thing, it was ace. Shame lee martin got hold of it! :p
imagine a track full of those things, that would be sheer madness.. imagine being a marshall! you'd need to sit inside a tank

It was wicked and the sound of it was lush, much better than the nitor whine sound

has anyone seen or driven the Big Bore 29cc version from Modelsport? I'm guessing that shifts a bit!

Is that the original engine rebored or a new engine entirely ? Wonder what 3cc difference makes to it ? Heck, I'm not complaining, the thing looks good enough standing still. One day!:p

you not want a jellymould jimmah? :bom:

hahahaha, surprisingly no! I will settle for this hard edged retro-designed beast

i'd love to run one of these on a bmx track
