Well I missed most of the fifth scale off road season but whatever life is long. Started working on a new Baja. This is a genuine hpi and was kept in great condition. Swapped out the hpi shocks for mcd rr5 shocks. The rears are basically a direct swap but the fronts are quite a bit shorter and require drilling into the actual arm. I’m worried about longevity for the fronts but I won’t know until the shake out runs. The old 34cc is coming out for a zenoah g260 with can muffler, obr bored 1242 and mod kill switch. Everything else will stay stock for now.


The rr5-e is back together and 100% charged up some batteries and gonna take it for a spin today if work isn’t too fiddlesticked up.

Had an hour to spare today, ripped for like 5 minutes then handed the remote off to a guy I worked with. I told him to be careful. He said ok. Then he drove it straight into the fence.
He broke the front a arm. No problem though got home and fixed it up in about 5 minutes. This is my go to rig to just keep in the car for when I have free time.
Will try again tomorrow

Mod killswitch is in, hitec 951 throttle servo, new outerwear’s. Waiting for the spektrum 9110 steering servo, rcmax clutch bell housing, bonehead engine braces.

What gearing and clutch spring setup did you go with?

The mod clutch has 10k springs I think it’s 17/57 gears on it for now

Put some time in on the fig’s suspension tonight. Laid down the rear shocks and adjusted the camber in the rear to -1 and front to -1. It came from the factory -1 in the rear and +2 in the front which is really strange
Also repaired the body from sundays bash. The front bumper was completely detached from the body. So a bunch of wood screws and job jobbed

The bumper looks great it was mangled...

Well, I got more tires. If you can cut them down would cause less damage. Check out the video I put up in that 34cc thread, those are tires cut down to a couple inches.

Alrighty guys we are back and getting geared up for some racing. On Saturday I’m off to Wagner park for some on road racing and then in suavest I head out to New Hampshire for the east coast nationals off road

 

[MonsterAir]

Glad you didn't sell everything off wish I could come... We're counting on ya to put li on the map

 

[misterleon]

Ready to go for tomorrow need to pick up a tent and I just realized I have absolutely no spares for the xr5 or fg. Hopefully if something breaks it’s a universal part

 

[blackrain]

Nice why does the fg look longer or is that just that particular body

Better take a losi for back up when that junk breaks...
