Hi guys,
Me and my dad bought Bajas back in Febuary, and used them a fair bit in the evenings after work, cos hes away most weekends down his caravan and boat. Problem is now its dark wen I leave work, so only chance we get is if hes home some weekends. So we thought it would be good to use them in a local industrial estate where theres big flood lit car parks, but for that we need tarmac tyres. I know hpi do them but it about £80 for a full set mounted on wheels, which to be honest is a bit steep cos im in the process of buyinh a house, and my gf would kill me. SO we wanted some cheapo road wheels and tyes. I know ansmann do some, as well as some other ones I've seen, but I don't know what ones fit. Has any one tried any? There are some that are about £40 for a set of 4 here http://www.mtroniks.net/details1.asp/ProductID/426/lockit/true/H501.htm. But im not sure if they would attach to the Baja hub.
Also i guess we'l need to stiffen the suspension and add some roll bars. Again money is tight so if anyones got any tips on diy roll bars I'd love to give it a try.
And last but not least, we though it would be nice to have some road shells for them. Something like a rally car shell, it wouldn't look stupid with some slight off road tyres on for using on dry grass in the summer.
Sorry for the long post guys. I just want something to do, cos If i get the house I want its got a garage and a small workshop so I need a project to potter with,lol.
Thanks
Gareth
