So had a bash this morning tuning both the 30DTT and the Baja, truck was spot on, reset the carb and had a blast, was running good considering I haven't touched it since December.
So, coz it went so well I thought I'd tune the Baja as it underwent a little rebuild late last year and hadn't been tuned at all.
IIRC I rebuilt the diff (again) and fitted new dog bones with replacable pins, I also rebuilt the engine with a ported head and skimmed piston.
Anyways Baja did what the Baja does best, goes like sh1t and looses parts along the way.
Front E clip, so was down to 3 wheels, that doesn't stop the test session, just crack on, was on grass anyways. Had a couple of flips etc and unlike Dougsta my Baja always lands belly up.
So, task list is,
Truck - dust off, good to go
Baja - rear shock rebuild, front left corner bearing and E clip, reset one of the rear dog bones that popped out, dust down, change wheels as had too much traction on the rear.
