Make sure whatever route you go down that make double sure it works properly.

Dodgy linkage = bad times.

I keep mine lubbed with gt85 and chk its movment before each outing?

Lucky you. I did something similar with my 5ive B. I installed the DDM Pro linkage on my mine and I thought I ran it through its paces before buttoning everything up and starting it. To my surprise when I pulled the pullstart and she started she was about 1/4 throttle and almost got away from me heading toward my father-in-law's Challenger but luckily I had my hand on the spark plug protector and was able to lift her up off the ground with one hand. Lucky me.

Nice, have fun! Bajas are Soo fun, even with low power, yours has a 320 so even better. My baj had 30cc and it was sooooo fun, could do donuts whenever I wanted, was great.
