Default a few new parts + installed pictures...

hey guys, been a while since ive spent a bit of money on the baja, well when i say a while, about 1 month :lol: so many nice things but not enough money is the case, but small chunks a bit at a time and its slowley getting how i want it. heres a few pictures of the latest parts i recieved today from a nice white van man with a box.

the parts include:
  • pistion stopper
  • proline front foams
  • proline front desperado wheels
  • proline rear desperado wheels
  • hostile extra hard mx tires
  • ramtec front springs
  • ramtec rear springs (on backorder)

and fitted





.

i also did a few diy mods one recent, one a while back
the first is a attempt to keep a majority of the grass out of the damm pods and ender the engine, as the pod-dams arnt avalable in the uk yet i made these as a tempory soltion i hope till i can get the pod dams.


i also made a while back a set of dogbone boot protectors out of some aluminium i had left over. all hand made and realy just guess work with the measurments, but didnt turn out too bad


hope you like it and please comment

I'm really digging the heavy duty front bumper.

chears mate, the front bumper i would recomend to anybody looking to get one, its aprox 10 mm thick, plastic and it also doubles up as a chassis brace aswell, so it eliminates 2 problems with one product, and its super strong. saved my baja from a post once i would say half speen into a wood post, the post moved and the baja just bounced off with not a scratch.

yep not enough money is a problem lol , the list of upgrade parts is huge and just when you say yep im finished with modding this thing out , then another few brandnew differant items become available and the spending starts again, i still want to get the scorpion main chassis and side pods in mirror polish for both my 5b's lol do the maths and it equals a huge hole in my pocket .

great looking 5b man , hey are you enjoying the headspinning intoxicating smell of the new hostile tyres lol

YEP two baja5b's each estimated cost is $6000 each and still adding new parts , if i can find my other thread i started i need to make an update soon lol i made my own solid rear tail light peice , i have the hostile mx tires too but hardly run them so i set them aside cos now i mainly use my beasts on road , so im planning to get the hostile slicks front and rear very soon , but i would prefer a slick tyre with a deep tread pattern like the SLD tyres i think they're called but they run on elcon rims for the 5b
