That's an outstanding piece of kit you've built there!

TBH I think that £3k is a very good price for what you've achieved, especially given that my new build Savage X has an RRP of £2k and that when I finally get round to starting my Baja, I've estimated a build cost of up to £5k

Keep up the good work!

Forgot to get the running video up

Well this was the first time I had it out, it has the OBR Full Mod 30.5 Long Rod in it in tha video. Was down bashing with the Irish Baja Bashers and need the speed to keep up lol

The damage all day:


The other bajas:


Awaiting the delviery of another arm, plus more spares. Then will get the new HPI engine in and run that to see what it has to give.

Also look forward to some onboard footage, cause I got a GoPro HD Hero 2 on the way too

Yeah ive heard about the Hero 2. Im gutted, i only bought my Hero a few months ago. I wish i waited a bit longer
Im rather dissapointed with it too! I went to Egypt last week and thought id use it for my snorkelling/dive trips.. Turns out although being waterproof to 60m, it cant actually focus underwater! Shocking!

So I got my Black Friday order just before christmas and only getting round to fitting some parts now.



First thing was to replace all the broken RPM bits Firstly the rear bumper bracket





And then the broken upper arm



Then moved to the front and fitted my servo saver upgrades:



DS Servo Saver and the threshold spring support, these teamed with the DDM Servo horn make the whole servo saver much more responsive and stronger.

Then out came the engine to fit the Crankcase outerwear



I've got a 9.5k clutch spring too fit too but need a socket set to change Also replaced one of my missing lights and have started to glue down some of the trimming on the Pitbull Kit due to it coming off last time. Should stay put on the next bash
