What is the car in the background?

you must be talking about this.

Yes, love the fender flares. Holden can make a sweet car.

Need more details please, LH or LX, engine, etc.

It's an LX 308 auto to much done to it to list mate.

Well the front diff case cracked completely open today and hows this for luck i picked up a Losi LST roller off Gassman, it has Alloy diff cases, some really nice shocks, 23mm hex's and Alloy rear blocks all going onto my Baja.

Can you get some closer pics on how you mounted the rear of the rollcage? Did you mount the upper part of the bumper (see pic and part circled in red) to anything?

v8hatch · 02.19.2011, 10:11 AM

Yes mate have a look at this pic.

Cool mate... I'm going to have to figure out something for my Savage version.

Btw I like the Holden. :) I have an American Holden, i.e. an 04 GTO.

Oh yeah thats the Monaro over here.

Went down to the local high school to test out the new shocks, i guess they work well.

But i guess the new tyres don't like brushless power.

Nice ute too

v8hatch · 02.20.2011, 04:18 PM

That one is my partners ute she loves it.

Ok got the new tyres on and i must say they sure do look good, still need to give it a run to see how they are on this buggy. I also got some Shock socks from possessed (from an Aussie forum) and a Skin for the wing from the UK. Next is a new body.

im loving the new look!

Love the green!

The wheels and tyres look awesome! I REALLY WANT A SET! Just worried that the weight will cause strain on my motor etc

Cant wait to see some vids of this! Did you gear down to compensate for the extra weight????

did you get the extra hard compound hostile tyres ???

v8hatch · 03.09.2011, 07:24 AM

Thanks mate, wait till you see the new body...

I have left the gearing at the moment, i'll see how it goes.

i got the medium compound as this doesn't weigh as much as a real baja
