Bringing in the new Baja right

[dvinesquirrel]

i bit the bullet and bought one finally. i went with the regular ol'Baja kinda wish i had gotten the SS but oh well.

this thing is pretty awesome. i can tell i need to fine tune the carb a little it seems kinda slow on the take off. but i believe a pipe and proper adjustment will fix this.

drove it for the first time during lunch at work today and before i could get a quarter tank in i flipped her over and ripped the receiver antenna off.
Got home and installed the Futaba from my Savage and out i went. by the time i hit half tank i had flipped it again.....unintentionally o course. this time i impaled the spark plug through the guard shattering it and ripping the cap. how that for a first day.

might i suggest training wheels? lol. maybe bend a piece of aluminum to cover that up better?

 

[dvinesquirrel]

yeah. i didnt expect to go on the roof so soon and so often.

Get an alu guard.

i crunched a spark plug or two on my baja a taller spark plug gaurd or a better roll cage will stop all that...

i'm going to see what i have laying around the garage maybe i can make something better than stock.

What did you decide on doin for a guard?

 

[dvinesquirrel]

i just ended up getting the GH guard. nothing fancy. i'm brutal with this thing. i already snapped my front a-arms got a set of rpms on the way and got a worx front bumper

Are you getting the Worx 6 hole front bumper? I've been looking at that one.

 

[dvinesquirrel]

yeah i have it sitting on my work bench/ kitchen table. i'm going to put it on once i get my rpm arms and dye them.

i'm debating trying to deannodize then annodize all the purple to blue. seems easy enough to do i guess

I just some how think that the worx bumper is the only true functional bumper available for the baja. Others bend or dig into the ground on a front end dive. At least by the looks it should help deflect the front end back up and the rear back down.

its definatly beefy. if i had that on. there is no doubt i would not have broken my arms. i just need to work on stiffening the suspension
