Hahhaa

I finally made it! After walking in and out, bending, assembling and de assembling the front in almost 2 hours I think i finally made it.

Here is a picture



A lot of work to just save the servo saver pivot, but it is worth it if it doesn't break anymore. Now I am going to re assemble the car. :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

( too much smileys? no :lol::lol::lol::lol: )

Couldn't have made it without both of you guys

 

[ravn111]

Well, look at my car now !





Doesn't it look happy?
If it is not raining on saturday or sunday, I will maybe (just maybe) take it out for a spin in the sandpit

 

[dwarfy]

Ready to roll You will be in the sand pit come rain or shine after all the effort you put in over the past few days!!

looking good....

next time....just try not to bend it....thats so much easier...:lol::lol::lol:

Well, I was out with the beast yesterday. I drove for like 15 minutes and then I thought " why not jump there ? " So I jumped and landed on the "head", and then the upper wishbone broke

There were no footage of it because i broke so early So that means i have to order new parts again. I hope I will get it ready for the next week.

 

[ravn111]

Well, been a few weeks since another update on my car now There has not been any problems with it (though I have not run it too much ). I have one NEW video of it running
Here is the video:

nice baja mate,good videos, i have a marder and have the same alloy diff case, alloy small engine mount, they are definatly needed, i broke 3 plastic small engine mounts before i changed to alloy.
Its good that youre using your baja as should, its nice and dirty too lol.
ps, good videos.

 

[ravn111]

Thanks for the feedback Yeah, the alloy engine mounts are definitively needed

 

[wezg]

Its looking good....is it handling ok since you sorted the chassis?
what gearing are you running ?


I have started and almost finished a full plastic baja ..hope the engine mounts will take it for a while...as I plan on giving it some stick soon..

I can also get my alloy baja set up again..

 

[ravn111]

Yup, handling good after the chassis fix I still run the stock gearing (18 and 46 teeth I think) And about that plastick baja. If you have plastick mounts the layshaft or the gear on the differential might brake. So maybe you should be prepared on that

 

[wezg]

I will keep an eye on the engine mounts and see how they get on..
maybe get myself some used alloy ones in the long run if I decide to keep the car..

I might sell it and use the money to fund a 4wd baja or beetle.

 

[ravn111]

Well, I was out with the car yesterday. Everything went fine. It was wet and it started to rain, but it stopped again. It seems like the servo saver pivot is just fine

 

[ravn111]

I have now waterproofed the servos. It was very easy. Just dip it in plasti dip and fit on the servo horn before it completely dry.

I have a problem though. I can't start the engine. I changed the spark plug, but the plug is abit old though. I don't care too look into it too much right now.

Anyways, it is soon christmas!!! Merry Christmas to everyone. What do you wish for christmas?
