Well I drove my baja ss for the first time today!!! Wow is all i can say. Its been a bit of a waiting game. If you had seen my post from last week, i had gotten a bad sterring servo in my kit and its been a pain in the ass trying to get that taken care of. Hpi is replacing it but told me it would take a couple weeks to get. So yesterday i couldnt handle it any longer and drove an hour and half to my hobby store and got me a new Hitec digital servo. put that in last night and today finally i got to run it. All i can say if this thing continues to run like this i'm selling all my nitro stuff. It started on 4 pulls and ran like a dream. God it was hard to take it easy on it that fist tank. Once i got i filled it up again and tuned some wow this thing hauls. My only beefs so far is that it pickes up grass and dirt like crazy. Every time i ran out of gas i had to take the body off and pull alot of grass and dirt out of it. Is there anything I can do to help prevent this? The other thing was the stock tires make it an handfull not that isnt a hell of alot fun but I think i am going to get some proline's and see how that goes. The last thing isnt a big deal but is it because i have the higher stall clutch that it seems to take a second to go. Once it goes its gone but it seems to take a split second to get moving. But other then that i love the thing. Any comments on my few beefs would be great.

sorry for a long post.

Yeh, I've often joked they should call it the Cow 5b, cos it eats so much grass! lol.

Fun, isn't it? I have one nitro left, and that will be going as soon as I find the right home for it. Glad you went for the Hitec, it's WAAAAAY better than the HPI servo. Nice job.

Get a 8000 rpm clutch spring, pipe, and you`ll see a BIG improvement...! As far as the grass and debris in the back half you can get side panel`s to close the body up...I made mine from screen...you can get from any hardware store...good luck

Nitro Fumes

Looks great. They're a blast. When I saw your picture I almost thought is was mine. See below:

Very Pretty. They are hard to get dirty when they are that new. For me anyway. Nice Baja I must say. Have fun and take lots of pics.

Instead of the Proline Badlands I would suggest considering the Hostile MX tires.. www.hostilehobby.com

you can also get a new set of side pods, and when you cut them out. just leave the plastic that would be the hole

I ran mine easy for the first 4 tanks to be careful, and had a blast with it even breaking it in. Then....it rained [>:] and it was game on. Here she is after the first real day of play. But don't cry i have her all cleaned up now.
