big bore kit
i have a question i was thinking about buying a king motor ksrc 001 baja for a bash around car to my hpi baja but it only comes with a 23cc motor and i want to buy a big bore kit for it to make it a 28cc i was just wondering which one would be the best for it thanks. and how hard is this to do on a scale from like 1-10 10 being the hardest

RE: big bore kit
I'd say the GP290 kit would be the easiest route and gives a good power hike,just a simple head and piston swap,the kit comes with all gaskets,gudgeon pin,circlips,piston and ring aswell as a sparkplug,they aren't that expensive either and mated with a rear Dom have quite a dramatic effect on overall power,its one of the better options if on a budget and keeps the 28mm stroke which in my opinion is better than any 30mm stroked engine....

Yep, that's agood upgrade, but for a little more go for this one. I have a few of them, and have had extrmemely good success with them. I have one in my Baja 5b, and a Dom V2, it wheelies. LOL

RE: big bore kit
It can be done in the car, but it is so much easier to remove the engine from the car. Cleaner, easier access to everything. Remove it. It is the easiest way to go about doing a pot swap. Get yourself a copper base gasket .020" and some anerobic sealer avaible at any parts store.

1/5 scale mad man, putting on a new head kit is pretty easy, I can guarantee that you'll have little to no problem handling it. If I can handle it, anybody can. Team Fast Eddy has a great series of youtube videos that give a step by step of how to disassemble and reassemble an engine.
