I already did..lol.. Thats how I managed to get the baja..lol.. I only have a plane, my mini-t and then have a evader I got from monkey which is my nephews..
I woke up at 6:30 today to wait for the ups guy..Actually I just got sick of laying in bed..lol. I havnt been up this early since I dont know when..lol (I'm a bit of a night owl).

4 wheel, I got it covered..lol. I went to the LHS and bought a 2300 mah (I think it is) reciever pack thats all charged up and ready to go..haha.. Simply open the box and run.. Like I said, I REALLY had ants in my pants for this one..haha.. Ill be sure to snap some pics.
 
Make sure you get a good SNIFF of the Baja when you open the box. Its better then opening a new can of coffee. That new car smell if great.

Double check the needle settings, Prime, Set the choke, pull once or twice till it "Pops", take the choke off, pull once or twice more then let her rip! Thats all there is to it.

You may need to adjust the LSN to keep it from bogging down. Just little 1/16th turns, dont over do it. It will keep getting stronger for the first 4-5 tanks. No need to baby it or do and "Nitro Style" brake-in. Just dont try to tune for max power till the 5 tanks are done.

I have the MG servo upgrade in stock. It will be one of the first things you will want to upgrade.

Let us know what you think!!!!

Grats, welcome to the Mans World" of RCs :D
 
Ups man came at about 2:30 and I've been out running since.. Man what a blast.. NEVER will I go back to Nitro..

Only question I have is, how far does yours go from the transmitter? Mine doesn't seem to go very far at all. Id say maybe 20-25 yards tops, and then it just stops until I walk closer.. (just the stock transmitter and stuff) Thought that was kinda weird.

Also when it came there was 2 nuts and a pin laying in the bottom of the box. I found out the nuts were from the from a-arm and so was one of the pins. Thought that was kinda weird to. I'm gonna go threw tonight and locktight everything..

Other than that, its the most kick ass thing I've ever drove. If you dont have one, and have been wanting one, GET ONE! You'll be SOOO happy ya did.

Heres some snaps I took of it on the road in front of my house. Ill get some action ones as soon as someone else is home.

You should get farther then that with the radio. I have been at least 75-100 yards. Arent you glad it has a built in failsafe :)

People just dont understand the Gassers until they get one. All the fun of nitro with 75% less hassle. How do you like the 45 minute runtime on a tank? No need to worry about overheating doing WOT runs.
 
I havnt gone threw a full tank yet..lol..
I never knew it had a built in failsafe. Thats good to know. I'm gonna read the manuals tonight. But yeah, I'm not getting much distance.
I was still in awe to the size of this thing.. Its rediculous! I got it running pretty fat right now and will for the 1st few tanks..
 
Oh man you guys are killing me..........I am going to race my Revo this year...but everything else is on the table...

......must liquidate to buy BAJA....must liquidate to buy BAJA......Need extra cash for BAJA hop ups.....LOL....the addiction grows.


Keep the pics coming buddy!! Jump the house and such..;)
 
I think I need to sell some Nitro's.... lol Those are just too badass....
 
Hey WoodiE, how bout another Baja lotto? :naughty: I can't afford a Baja right now, but I know I scrape up some cash for a few tickets!

I think I need to sell some Nitro's.... lol Those are just too badass....

You could have had one Mr Toyz, but you went and spent all your money on Bows and Bikes :D
 
Just wait till you get a pipe on there. I'm serious. I let Grant (the guy who got the other baja with me), try mine with the jet pro on there. HUGE difference!

The only thing I have broken was one of the steering knuckles and the antenna tube. Very durable rig!
 
I put a 29 in mine. WOW!!! Spins the rubber right off my Tarmac tires. :D
I just got the X-Can for it. Havent had a chance to run it yet.

45 minutes is a lot of drive time. After about a half hour of driving, us reformed nitro guys are pulling it in and seeing half a tank still left.
 
Exactly! I can't believe how long the tank lasts on these things!

How is the top speed on yours Ed?
 
Its just a little quicker then the 23.
Its all about the bottom end with the 29.
I added a stuffed stroker crank as well. The stuffed crank makes it spool a lot faster. A lot less lag time on the bottom of the power curve.
 
Ed youll have to let me know how ya like that Xcan. I've been looking into them and seems to be the most common pipe out there I think.
Yeah the tanks last forever. I'm used to running a couple tanks and then heading in. I only went threw a little over a tank today.. So awesome..

Heres some pics my dad shot of me a few minutes ago in the front yard.

What are you guys doing about the vents on the side? I mean to keep stuff out. Mine gets packed with leaves, lawn clipping and small pebbles. I plan on buying a pull start fliter/cover thing VERY soon.
