Can't wait to see the build start to take place. Are you going to stick with the stock 26cc engine or go with something bigger?
 
just sticking the the stock engine in for now but its cost me a furtune on other parts I'm waiting on coming

While I'm glad to see you've at least bought a kill switch (a must in my opinion) - I've heard a lot of mixed reviews about the Uber kill switches. Looking forward to hearing how it works out for you.
 
That's quite the shopping list! I'll be interested to see how these work out for you. Would like to get a baja in the future and it would be good to know what works well.
 
I'm looking forward to it myself, but i really want take my time with her and enjoy the build and take loads of pics :)
 
Couple of extras ordered
also can anyone give me advice on an exhaust and air filter

Can't wait to see your build. I went with a RTR clone, but can't seem to stop wanting to upgrade. The 1/5 scales are a blast to play with. Good call on the kill switch (I went with Killer RC). I would not even run mine until the kill switch came, was installed, and verified working. Keep the pics and updates coming.
 
i changed the kill switch to the superbee after reading a few reviews hopefully all the parts here next week
 
I'm so bad that if what I ordered is coming UPS I have them hold it so I can pick it up in the morning and not have to wait all day. When I have to wait, I must be the last box on the truck, and the driver is dropping it off on his way home!
 
did u come?????
ive just ordered a load more. so the misses is of on holiday in 4 weeks so i might wait to build it then, i saying the there is a few parts i want to strip the colour out of so ill post all that
 
some more stuff still to come but this is the most of it
