(I think those are the stock settings for a 668) Also small changes on the needles makes a big difference. Check and make sure you don't have an airleak, also check your spark plug. If its hard starting, I have found those to be two common problems.
Also if it floods just take out the spark plug, tip the baja back, hold full throttle, and pull it a few times. Replace the plug and you should be able to start it.
Essential upgrade? I don't know I would recommend almost everything on mine.  I think it really depends on where you drive, but outerwears prefilters, and the TR enclosed clutch setup if you drive in dirt and sand are good places to start.
A little water will be no problem, as usual the radio box is probably the most sensitive part. Obviously sucking water in the airfilter is bad, but an outerwears is water resistant.
The dominator line of pipes are built by DDM (Daves Discount Motors), they are all solid pipes.
The kill switch is just a third channel kill switch. It acts as a failsafe, and also so you can kill the engine using the third channel on your radio. |
Thanks for the tips and info. I've been surfing the bajaforum looking for answers. Following this guide.

Started a HELP thread which helped the first time around. I am tearing it apart now going through the carb resealing everything, checking the magneto gap etc. Will grab a couple more new plugs tomorrow and give it another try. Just the little bit I ran it I could tell it was going to be a blast. Soon as I figure out this problem it will be. I've had possessed rcs before that they are just evil. Had a jato like that and sold it and got another jato that was an angel. I'm hoping this isn't one of those cases. A little more cash will be needed to flip it for a different one.
I still have a lst2 that is on the list to convert to brushless before this one. But I want to run it as nitro for a while first. I love the ease and low end power of brushless but before I do a conversion, I've always ran the rc as original as I could first just so I can get a good comparison of how the two different. So far the nitro/gas has had the edge on the bigger scale rcs I've done. On a side note though I've only used 6s max so far.
Here I go again, shopping for items and can't find one place that has them all in stock. So have to order from three different places and three different shipping costs. Damit to all Hell!
Jerry your better off waiting till the kids are out of the house. You'd need to take out a second mortage to get 6 bajas.
You guys got some good deals on your bajas. I can't believe the patience though of not running them yet. Impressive.
