Welcome to the site kenandtj
A lot of people have them. I am not sure if there is a forum specific to MBs. This forum is dedicated to all Large Scale RCers. As for hop-ups you can go to Largescalerc.com.
How do you like your Baja?
I am in MA as well, we should get together one of these days.
See you in the forums.

Parts are hard to find at local hobby shops, my distributor does not even carry them. You most likely will have to order parts from traxxas direct.

Traxxas parts are only available via traxxas. None of them shops listed above can carry the parts. Traxxas also has support forums.

Odd I almost got 1 of those too and found that this crowd seems to frown on them and it is not so weasy to get parts even from traxxas dealers.

On a side note I see you got rid of the e-maxx....

Aint that the truth. Its suppose to be, damn mods.<---------- this will be deleted

kenandtj,
Your Baja must be pretty nuts with those mods. I would like to get a Baja one of these days.
We should get together and have a little bash session. Keep the MB, dont sell it. I just saw one on the computer that was pretty hooked up.

Later

Any Hobby shop that carries traxxas items can order you the parts. most dont stock them cuz when the MB was new ( 15 yrs ago) very few could afford them. or thought they could.
if you call Traxxas in person, im sure they ll help you out, Traxxas CS has always been good. to bad very few people here know much about them, as they are the USs first major large scale production item in RC. at least i think.

Traxxas doesn't allow LHS's to carry Monster Buggy parts. They are only available via Traxxas. A LHS can order the parts but they pay retail as you would. The Traxxas CS is top notch though, the few parts I've needed from them most times they have given me them free.
