Doug's hpi 5B SS

[DougStar]

I have just bought my first baja
It's a used 26 2 bolt with a pig tail pipe. Its gonna be shipped to me from up country so it's not in my hand just yet getting the guy ship so it arrives on a day my wife is at work you know how it goes!
As soon as I have it I'll photo bomb

I am enjoying all the Baja posts at the moment but my wallet is not!

Can't wait to see it!

 

[DougStar]

I'm already cooking up plans
Here's a my original block for my losi
And a space from my universal clutch housing. getting a new 1107 and a cylinder head cover ship with the the rig.
And I'll use the fly wheel coil ect and slap In my 32 zen

 

[jimbo1]

Vertigo stuff is super nice. looking forward to this thread

 

[DougStar]

Hey Jim
The vented clutch housing is on my losi
When I bought it came with a spacer so it
Would d fit losi or hpi. My zen fits a losi but if i add the space it will fit the baja
So yes vertigo but only the spacer

will you get the housing for your Baja?
did you not get the TLR vented clutch bell housing with the 5ive-b kit? or is that an extra?

 

[DougStar]

Yes the TLR has a vented bell housing as stock I then bought the vertigo clutch housing to upgrade the stock zen one
Looking at what is available more than likely go TR complete clutch for the hpi it's a bit less than the vertigo setup may just put a hex vertigo bell on it

 

[jimbo1]

Yeah, I would do the bell at the very least. I kept snapping the stock clutch bell bolt on my old Baja until I changed over to the vertigo clutch bell ?

 

[DougStar]

I'm running a hex on the losi 21 tooth

 

[evssv]

I've abused my vertigo bell for 3 years now with no issses?..and it's the older 7mm hex type aswell.....?..not rhe newer 9mm hex

 

[DougStar]

That deffnattly be one of ther first upgardes. For my baja??

 

[DougStar]

Guy changed the beadlocks ??

Getting sent today

 

[jimbo1]

nothing like receiving a new rc. especially a Baja

it was strange that the only rc car I have had issues with the clutch bell snapping the thread was with the Baja. a must have upgrade

 

[DougStar]

I'll get there jim
Any realy nice upgrades Tr vertigo ect I have to import and it's quite costly
So I'll have to save up some cash

 

[DougStar]

AWESOME!!!!! already doing the engine change you work fast

 

[DougStar]

Not thrilled with the clutch bell carrier or the clutch but that can all change
All fitted on the zen 32 no worries.
The one back shock is leaking. Body is a bit beaten ...... but overall I'm happy
