Hi, I'm getting this BAJA today and would like to know whats the diference or how do I know if mine is V1 or V2??

Thanks in advance for all the help!~!!

Its an original RTR (v1 if you like). Looks like it has an SS body, an aftermarket velocity stack, gas cap and headkit. It's probably a 27.2 under that round head, but it could be something else.
You can tell by the purple alloy. SS had orange, v2 has gunmetal.

Nice car Regading the engine I am pretty sure it`s a CY 29CC. One tip: If it is that engine, get rid of it. That is the worst engine CY ever produced. My friend has had two and both went bad just after a few tanks.

Thanks for the reply's, the previous owner said it was a 27

Foxy

Yeh, the 27.2s are ok. Mine ran hot though.

What is the best oil for this motors? The previous owner was using Lucas, Should I use pensoil, Klotz?

waqr

I guess that it really doesn`t matter which brand you use as long as it is a well know brand and a fully synthetic oil. You could look for oil that is recommended for high performance (high reving) engines to be on the safe side.

Thanks wakr, I ended up buying today the Lucas 2 cycle (semi-synthetic) should I get any fully synthetic better.

Any good quality 2-stroke is fine. Fully synthetics burn a bit cleaner, I don't know if they have any other real world advantages.

Synthetics:help maximize horsepower, improve gas mileage and provide a smoother, cooler operation for the engine, prolonging engine life.

Synthetic oils also contain man-made additives that are added to the oil to increase film strength, the ability to handle high temperatures, etc.


I've ran lower priced 2 cycle oils in my dirtbikes before, and noticed how much carbon builds up on the internals. On my last bike, I ran strictly synthetics. When it came time for rebuilds, those parts were nice and clean. Thats a plus, but what mattered most is that I would maintain good compression a bit longer when compared to running with a strictly mineral/conventional 2 cycle oil.

Good stuff, I don't run anything but synthetics at this point!

if you want a clean engine dont run klotz. i had a hard baked on black crust on top of my piston that didnt want to come off when i tried to clean it when i was putting on a new ring

Which synthetics are the best ones to get?

I do know that synth lube, even in nitro, does in several cases offer great lube and even keeping the parts coated after the engine has sat un-run for a few days.
