Status: offline 		Hi all great work Pwaicon getting back to centre gear bearing mines loose as well it seems the hole for the bearing is slightly to big or the bearing to small as mine will just fall in and out since my crash last week iv stripped the hole car and found two wheel bearings gone as well so going to change all , as for my chassis i did manage to straighten after a couple of days with a rubber hammer now starting the rebuild ill post photos soon
but as for the bearings they dont seem up to much

Status: offline 		I appreciate the complement guys, but I am definitely no machinist/metal worker. I do have a work shop where I mainly work with wood. The main tools I used were my band saw, drill press and buffer/grinder. The parts for this car are my first attempt at working with aluminum; I guess I am a quick study. I used 1/2'” alloy for the forks, I made four sets and it cost me less than $20 (wife’s happy about that). I would agree that the Baja body looks great. You might just want to keep the truck side guards under the Baja body. When I drive my MCD as the Baja I keep the truck side guards one and they do a great job at keeping out dirt. Unfortunately, the main chassis on the FS is wider then the MCD chassis, so the side plates on the MCD will not work on the FS. I tried to install my side plates from my Baja1000 on my FS and they didn’t work.

Status: offline 		hey thanks for that so ill just make 2 stronger side panels for the mt if you say that does the job then that saves me money also

oh ye i was thinking about the alloy gear drive plate from mcd but we also have the option from oversize if i do go that way then thats going to cost $300 so i heard from psr or go with original fs parts which is much cheaper but the only thing is not enough people using them so dont know what to do

The Chinese motors have a 4 bolt barrel that is how you can tell them.
