unless they came up with something better for the baja this little can is staying right were it is .on my baja it woke that little 23cy up big time easly to install and look real good also on does not burn a big hole in your wallet.the best part about this buggy is i spent 277.00 bucks and got billet beadlocks front and rear ,a x-can, axle extenders ,front and rear and i upgraded the hpi steering servo with the metal gears .with out breaking the bank.to me thats what its all about.lots of fun with out havng to spend lots o money .getting rid of my onroad car 1/5 scale car ,and i am either going to buy me a fg marder ,a fg hummer or a mcd 4x4 .dont know yet but i have found out thats sand is very fun to run in .and here we two beaches so its cold and nobody is thier ,so i have it all to myself.

bequiakt, if you are referring to the axle extenders and if they changed the steering ,no i dont think it did ,i think it made it better but maybe its just me .if you are looking for a place to get the parts you need .check out www.davesmotors.com great prices fast shipping .dont forget to use the RCU discount code. bryan

Man that buggy just doesn't look good to me at all.


Just messing with you. I am really liking my Baja as well. I have some new parts on it and am ordering some more after X-Mas.

Again....nice looking Baja you got there.
