its comming frrom china so about 5-7 days after its sent from china it will be in the states...took about 3 weeks for darkfire to get his from vtec
Got my km running again.... the coil had to much of a gap....no spark.... reset the gap with my trusty business card even added a tunedpipe

Nice getting it running again hellya! I just got home from school so Im gona see if i can get her started.
Edit: Started up right away. I took out the spark plug and messed with it, making sure it was nice and tight inside the coil. I think the carb, plug/coil are bad, thats all thats really wrong with it.

Yeah it was a pain to get mine. I bought it on the first of april. It didnt come till the end of the month. Its stupid because he doesnt even have them in stock yet when he sells them so once they arrive he sends them off. Once shipped though it only takes 5-7 days.

Yea you have to have the item on hand but w/e. Anyway on subject. Was charging my battery (you could probably guess what happened) and all of a sudden I hear a psffffffff. I'm like ****. I take the buggy otu side take the radio box and this battery just blew up. I was like what!? So I'm in the process of making my own right now. Also on the side note it does come with a 2000 mAH battery.

Took the baja to the local park, I had not been there in awhile and was quite dissapointed with the park, there were no more sand dunes in the way back
But the baja was fun as hell. There was a steep hill though with a sandy path and I had fun doing hill climbs with it.
