Status: offline 		Gas is nice as long as you have places to run that people don't complain...........well they complain about anything these days.

We have had good success with the Baja at my buddies shop. They only seem to break when the guys treat them badly like Dennis Anderson would do to Grave Digger. Overall they seem to be a nice gas buggy.

Everyone enjoys running the gas buggies since they are so cheap on fuel and the motors run well and are very reliable. Lots of fun to be had. Today we only got to run 10 minutes before my buddies muffler came loose on his Baja and we didn't have any tools and the one bolt fell completly out so are day was done early. Funny thing is we both laughed and felt relaxed after running for such a short time.

well that is true but i was running with my buddies(1 has a savage with a 30 and a jp2 pipe and the other has a tmaxx with a pipe) and with all 3 running around they managed to drown out my exhaust..overall if people were to **** about the noise its because of the high pitch nitro engine sound..just my 2 cents...plus when people see my baja running its nothing but compliments i get...

Status: offline 		Yeah some people complain about the noise during broad day light i was out about 3pm running my marder and a lady comes out of her back door with her nighty on talking about im trying to sleep
Basically now i like to find a nice open field with no people and run. they way i dont get bothered with the same question over and over in the exact order ( how much was it?... how fast does it go?.. geeeez man what kinda motor is in that? it's loud!!! .. and can i drive it?..where ya get it from? Gotta love hearing that 500 times ... other times it does draw a crown because people will park and sit in there cars just to watch with there kids
