Refreshing and rebuilding my Baja SS

[blackrain]

Ran my baja yesterday dynamite killswitch acting up. Had to turn car on and off several times just to get the light to come on before I tried to start the engine. Wouldn't kill engine when I pushed 3rd channel button but killed it when I cut of remote. Going to full charge my receiver battery see if results are same.

I need to inspect my baja I have a good tune on it did the fs clutch. But still haven’t been wowed by the performance of the 34 reed. Think I’m running 30,000 in the rear diff plan on going 300,000 or 500,000. I wonder if it could be the victory silenced pipe limiting my performance or drop my gearing down from 20/54. What you guys think?

Definitely considering gearing down since I’m running these taller rcmax wheels.

19/55 is gonna get ya going

 

[John Parks]

I'd drop your gearing to 19/55 maybe even 18/56 if your running the rcmax spikes

I think that’s the plan going to increase diff fluid first then gear down.

Ya, because now seems like it’s out the power band
What go pro you guys recommend time I bought one? The camera girl today cost me a 10 piece nugget large fries, large ice tea a McDonald’s flurry and a trip to Walmart for a pack of koolade burst and almost a movie at red box. But I enjoyed the company though

I like the one I got off Amazon. Can't remember the brand off the top of my head. Can't go wrong with a go pro if you have the cash.

How much was it can you upload the videos straight to YouTube?

The gopro with hyper smooth is bad @$$

Think it was around $60.00 and I don't see why not. The last vid i put up I loaded to my phone then to you tube. See if I can find a link to it.

I will check that one out. I was using this one but the problem with it is it would download to my phone to app but I couldn't move the video any were else only watch it on the app

Can’t believe I don’t own a losi 1/5, I have always loved this build. Like to build one of these next but build it into a truggy

 

[MonsterAir]

That chassis yikes. Not even a outterwears cover.

 

[blackrain]

Definitely don’t care for the cut out chassie, I can definitely see my self buying this next probably near the end of the year need something I can jump. Maybe find a way to put a Fg stadium body on it. But want it to look like a truggy

I wonder if one of these arma Kraton body’s could be manipulated to fit
Damb these body’s are nice

Took out 4 cars today figure I would have plenty of backup. Only 1 ran and was terrible

The mugen truggy my igniter just completely stop working.

Fg stadium receiver battery was shot my oldest rc reciver batter it was a lipo

Rcmax hybrid handle came of the pull start

Hpi baja ran but the location was very rough and bumpy rcmax wheels not suitablle for rough terrain made it not enjoyable.

I was 1 hour away from home went to run with a group of guys. When I got home I fixed the hybrid. Fg stadium will be getting a life battery and I need to take the dynamite igniter apart it was full charged from a few days ago won’t even light up when I plug it in to charge. Rcmax wheels only flat open areas

Would have ripped them tweels off and swapped from another rig.

It was so hot and humid out there I didn’t want to fix a thing plus 2 of the cars both had rcmax on brp hubs. Only the Fg had Baja wheels on 24mm hex so I was out of luck
Think I might give the E word a second try nice to have one as backup plan. Im starting to really like the arrma kraton 1/5 ebx

Rough outing eh .....but no need to over react with ideas of Eeeeeewords
