Always changing baja

John Parks · Jan 18, 2020

As some know I am building a rcmax baja. Well it will likely be a shelf queen and not driven much, so i wanted to build another "beater" baja that I can still have fun with, but not care really what happens.

It started a few months ago as a baja roller that was dam near brand new. I planned to do a signature series OBR piston port but found a signature series reed g340 in another complete baja that had a kraken tsk-1 that was for sale. So purchased that baja as well but stripped what I wanted off it. This baja will likely keep evolving as time goes on, but I hope to keep it the way it is for it to be as light as it can be. Pics are in order of when I purchased it to now.

Specs:
OBR signature g340 reed
Rcmax carrier/ blackbone bell/ ufc clutch
Olimat 5t sidepipe
Blackbone 18/56 gears
TR quickdiff
5sc cups and bones
IRC bigbore shocks (need installed)
Kraken tsk-1 cage
JX 62kg steering servo/ hitec hs-7954sh throttle
Clipless hingepins

Soi am confused. How many Bajas do you have? I know you have the rcmax baja,and the tsk baja with the sig series but this 5 sc i never heard of ? it will have the piston port?

Nothing yet. A claim was filed, so the investigation started. Takes 4-8 weeks though then they issue insurance.

That really sucks about that 80cc. Hope everything works out for you. I hope whatever scumbag stole it gets herpes and aids. Nothing worse than a thief. ?

Me to, it's been over a month already. I'm tired of waiting. I will order a new one now, not messing around this time.

Got the irc shocks rebuilt and put on. Also fored it up for about 10 seconds ?. I forgot how easy they are to start compared to my rcmax engines. It fired very quick though, was very happy. First pull after I primed it, 2 slow pulls, one good pull and it fired.

Have a ice fishing tournament this weekend. Hopefully get to break it in friday.

Installed a rcmax clutch carrier, blackbone bell, and ufc clutch. Should be alot better than the standard zenoah clutch. Get to test this weekend hopefully

recently purchased a good amount of upgrades all new off facebook. TR had front and rear top plates, TR servo saver, Phatdad cups and axles, modified rc chassis plate, and a good amount of other bits. Put the top plates on, and tr setup, Phatdad will go on once the 5sc cups or pins take a crap
