Motor locked up

Lol same! I can't believe ive been through 7 rcs (my Baja I have right now is the 8th) in the last 2yrs. How long have you been in the game? Me three years but the first one (ecx ruckus 2wd, was a absolute pile) I had for 1 year

Started about 2 yrs ago. Started W drones...planes...RCs...boats...now w helis. RCs cost the most due to breakage.

Me because I like to upgrade and cuz im never committed to one truck though I think I'm committed on the Baja since I spent close to 1400 on the 70cc motor.......ouch that hurts just thinking about that cost ?

Agree that thing looks puny tiny! Uni filters are good

If you get a filter that needs a velocity stack, dint get the ddm ones, the ddm ones are good but the one I linked is better cuz it has a lip on the back so the air filter can't slide back and suck in dirt. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Goped-Air-...714093?hash=item541bec26ad:g:--EAAMXQOT5Q-9zM hers what it looks like

You mean it has an o-ring on the back side?

 

[Z.hb71]

That and a lip facing upwards so the filter can't slide back. If you look closely in the photo I attached you can't see there's a thing potruding on the back

I see it. Should I upgrade Baja too, stock looks pretty good?

stocks fine, just a outerwear would help. I had a km/rovan one and it was good until I upgraded

What about this pipe? Less likely to get damaged on a bad landing but it doesn't look much like a tuned pipe, more like a muffler.

Yeah your right but exhuast like this will make very similar power to the stock exhuast can.
Here's some decent exhuasts
This one is pretty much the same as the gbe hornet exhaust https://www.ebay.com/itm/Integy-BAJ...990718&hash=item3d18e7ee7c:g:HY0AAOSw1DtXIvzl

This one is a dominator clone https://www.ebay.com/itm/High-Perfo...rentrq:27e983d11660a9925c0f5361fffce919|iid:1

Also I noticed the real dominator side pipe and rear pipe are discounted at this time so I thought you might want to see this
http://www.davesmotors.com/DDM-Side-Mount-Dominator-Chrome-Pipe-for-HPI-Baja-5b-DDM004-Chrome.html

And the rear mount
http://www.davesmotors.com/DDM-Domi...X-Port-for-HPI-Baja-5B-5T-DDM003-1-black.html

Out of all of them, I'd get the integy/gbe pipe or the dominator side pipe

Thx. The one I'm going to buy has to fit truck body too.

DDM Dominator V1 is reasonable but don't think plastic will last long.
