HPI Bajas

[fastbaja5b]

Gotta warn you Freezebyte, the HPI Baja forums are not as forgiving as some of these other forums you have been posting in, your little HPI Warranty antics would not go down well, and there is a great deal more maintenance involved than you had with the Savage. I wonder if you're actually capable of running a Baja without having a meltdown emotionally! That said, they are slower but are still a lot of fun, you get better by learning and wrenching so I'd suggest a 5BSS for you over a 5T. I can swap an engine out now in my Baja in around an hour (far quicker than I was!)

Just have a std RTR Baja but with deanodized chassis etc, and a CY26cc in there now (not a hpi CY)



And yes it's had it's share of carnage! (Old 23cc got hammered one day....)

Nice looking Baja you got there! I had plenty of fun with mine (I think I just hate 2 stroke) just getting it started. I have a feeling the previous owner might have run straight gas in it, or maybe I am just poor at tuning 2 strokes... I would have kept it if husquavarna had made a motor for it. My 75cc husky chainsaw starts every time, no matter how old the fuel is... Maybe the upgrade motors are better than the hpi 23cc? I cannot imagine them being any worse.

And lol on the emotional meltdown... I had to laugh at that one. I wonder if freezy will have a smc rec pack? Or has he learned his lesson on crap batts?

Nothing against gas 2wd, but the flux is much more fun for me. And quieter. Just someting screwy about a "rc weedeater", even my shockwave 55 with the zenoah 26 gets on my nerves... And since the new house backs up to the water I will be getting on the neighbors nerves too! Need to finish the other 5 bl boats...

Hey James at least when they piss you off now you can setup a ramp and launch your irritating R/C's right off into the water. If your lucky enough any of your crappy neighbors might be sitting in a boat at the time. I just had a vision of you launching Harold wearing a dress in his wheelchair off into the lake. Sorry Harold. You guys put that vision out there with your antics. Too funny

I needed that laugh Jerry. Good stuff. I can just see us strapping some sort of reworked (poorly) fireworks to Harold's wheely chair... I can see it going well till the rockets explode in a dazzling arry of colors...and Harold's singed ass lands in the water... or possibly in the neighbor's boat!

I will be there tomorrow afternoon and will try to get some pics for you guys. Nice house, maybe too much... You only live once!, right?!

WOW that is even better than the vision that I saw. I bet Harold is going to laugh his but off when he reads this thread now. That is just tooo funny man. I knew you would come up with something that should be on U-Tube or something crazy like that. Sounds like a reason for a huge RCM gathering and BBQ. Pastrona doesn't have anything on Harolds stunt, or at least the stunt we have planned for him. We could sell tickets and just tell Harold to hang on for dear life, that everything will be just fine. We love ya man.

Ran fine after you sold it to me. Only ran once though, fired right up, played with the needles a little and it ran as well as one of the CY23s is going to run. Bought the baja for parts.
