Where was the last place they were on the tracking?
My town in Illinois. And it's been "in transit" for 2-3 days now. I could probably drive over there in less than 30 mins.
Atleast to brighten the mood me ddm orders came in ?
Can put my ? box back together After I go get a torque wrench.IMG_20200806_120203.jpg

Don't ask questions ?
So I first put the new clutch on, with the 9500 Rpm spring, what a female dog to do ?

Put gas in and tested it. First pull on choke it popped, and first pull off choke it fired right up ? ? I was also having starting issues when the carb was falling off, probably cuz the pulse hole wasnt aligned right. All that is resolved ,also was stubborn to restart when hot, not anymore so far. So she lives to break another day ?? I will record a run video hopefully when I get my tires in ?
 
So in my opinion one of the biggest annoyance on the Baja 5b is taking off the cage , you have to take the shocks off (or atleast remove the top bolts), then take the support brace off, the take the cage off. Takes forever and it's annoying. So, what I've done is made some quick release tubes. This isn't my idea, many people have done this and modified RC makes some (think they are like 20-40 bucks, feking rip off), but non the less very useful. IMG_20200806_182426.jpg
Cut the cage in half, then slide these in place , and screw em down.
