Status: offline 		LOL looks just like a real baja, hahahah, pity its not, hahaha, kiddin, anyways looks pretty neat for a clone, l wouldnt buy one, because they will NOT be as good a quallity in the plastic's, this is china were talking about, american plastic v's chineese plastic, there is no comp there its a total no brainer, the americans have the BEST plastic PATENCIES in the world, and the better quallity standards in production as well , but hell, you get what you pay for, the Japoneese are decades ahead of the chineese in plastic research and development, the chineese out produce us all put together, but with inferior types of plastic's, china needs another 20 years to really catch up, and get the FACTORIES producing better quallity plastic's, because there are very few, full on high quallity plants in china at this time.
Get the original, and support YOUR local econemy, to the guy who posted all the pic's, well done, gave everyone a very clear idea of how well that baja was cloned, and they seem to have done a good job, short of the plastic's at a guess.

Looking good, did you deanodise the shock parts and chassis yourself?


What is deanodise? Did you strip off the purple anodizing?

Cheers fella

Costic soda crystals are the quickest way to strip the colour off, Just dont do it indoors.

I received my A-Arms went on with out a charm. I noticed that the KM A-Arms has kinda a gloss on it while the HPI did not. Don't know if that means anything.

Going to take it out to BMX track tuesday. Will take videos.

That looks pretty cool.

Well today I was just driving it around and I jumped it off a fill landed while the throttle was applied and it stripped the spur. Also the pull start ripped but I rubbed it against the body so it started to tear so that is user error. The spur however is questionable. Anyone know where I can get a cheap spur gear and pull start?

Also coming out with yet another Marder clone.

It will be EXACTLY like the HPI ss kit. Bags instructions and all.

I'll see if I can find out later tonight. I probably will be the first to own it. I plan on buying the first one. Will have a review as well.
