hey guys
A friend of mine dropped his Baja 5B off the other day and ask me to get it going for him.
It ran good for him at first , then after a couple off tanks he lost the tune.
I got it tuned nice today but, now I want to push it a little further.
What would it take to get this thing to lift the front tires.
He told me if it needed anything to let him know. I think it needs more power.
Thaks guys

If it is the stock pipe then I will say no?
I don't have one but maybe from what I have heard is the stock pipe isn't too good but a different pipe and it can wheelie pretty easy when tuned good. Take a look at Mega's videos, he tried the HPI Tuned pipe and the DOM pipe....

Lunarwolf is big into Bajas. He suggest the GBE pipe. I just ordered one. Will be assembling mine next week. Got to deanno and powder that ugly orange.

Go DDM pipe and the high response clutch and better tires like the Proline Badlands or Hostile hobbie tires preferably the Mini MX's.
Obviously you can improve power threw motors and carbs and so on.

Tell him it wasnt running right because the pipe was broken or restricting airflow :-) then you can get a new pipe for it.
