Bobby’s Baja Build (5 B’s)

[DougStar]

That's what I was saying??

If you can't find a decent upgraded roller then you would be better scratch building rather than buying a stock rig, after you have finished upgrading you will likely ony be left with very few stock plastic parts

All you really need Is a fuel tank bulkheads and hinge pins hinge pin braces radio tray .....diff gears ?? the rest can be fixed with after market upgrades ???

All the more for the rest of us???

Enjoy then ???

So the build begins I couldn’t bring myself to buy another mans sloppy seconds?‍ first order of parts is just to get the thing ready to run. I plan on disassembling everything and doing an inspection, lock tite and lube to make sure everything is up to par. Any recommendations on what to look out for is appreciated

a buddy of mine has a victory side mount pipe that he’s willing to trade for a bartolone pipe I took off my losi. Are they any good?

 

[John Parks]

Victory, bart, olimat etc all great pipes. Do it if you need a baja pipe and don't need the losi one

 

[Z.hb71]

Yes Victory pipes are awesome ?

Part of me wants to get an rcmax 40 or 50 And put it in the losi and then put the obr 34 ss in the Baja... but then Doug would need to edit my thread title which is a lot of work

 

[DougStar]

Do what you want ? sure i can change it?

I do that, Losi is heavier , the Baja will haul ass with a 34ss

 

[DougStar]

My baja 34 reed kick ass ? so if you did decide to stay small bore with your new rig you wont be disappointed ?

My wife is a Russian Jew from the “gold coast” she’s mouthy and has been better than Jesus since she was born. Nothing will change that

You can try some sort of a rust remover if you still want the raw finish, or wire wheel and polish it for a chrome finish.

Fine grit sand paper is what id use. 2k+

 

[Seandonato73]

Id actually blast it and get it coated. Rusty pipes suck to deal with.
