Decided to fix my BL Li-Po Vendetta
Well I finally got around to fixing it today. Now what gearing should I run for a 28/35/3900 Ammo on stock wheels?

RE: Will this Li-Po work with the DX3?
[quote]ORIGINAL: ozium Sorry - edited my post while you were replying. The DX3 uses 8 AA batteries? At 1.5 volts each that's 12v, so I guess the 11.1v should be enough to power it. You might have a constant low battery alarm happening though. How are you going to mount it?

Will this Li-Po work in the DX3?
I have a DX3 and want to use Li-Po. I have this Li-Po for my vendetta. Will it work? http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.12821 Thanks Justin P.S. Just to clarify I want this powering the DX3 transmitter and yes I know I will have to mod the actual transmitter I just want to know if this would be able to power it and last long...

RE: Baja clone but not a King motors
I love that wing. I am fairly interested in what this thing is as I never heard about it. It would be interesteing in the parts changeability with a KB. Can you take a bunch of close up shots like mine (http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_7249314/tm.htm)? That would be great. Like I said I like that wing and the wheels look cool but probably crap as well. Kinda like the blue as well. Just some differences from the webpage: Rear wheels: 170X90mm HPI: 170X80mm Length: 820mm HPI: 817mm Width : FRONT 460mm / REAR 480mm HPI: FRONT 460mm / REAR 480mm Height : 255mm HPI: 255mm Wheelbase : 570mm HPI: 570mm Weight : 9600g HPI: 9.6kg (9600g) Ground Clearance : 65mm HPI:76mm Engine : 23cc gasoline engine I contacted them maybe I could score a free one to put a review on it. Lousy chance but it can't hurt to try can it?

RE: My poor 5B SS... Out of commission
I did that same thing, EXACTLY. Except mines a clone and I think I may have haad a worst drop (~7 feet drop on to hood) Broke spark plug, cover, wire and the wing. Replaced everything with stock except I got the MSD wire. It is great but will need to get different spark plug cover as it will not fit. (MSD is HUGE!)

RE: King Motors Baja Review with pictures
Wow in wallmart? Damn! That is sweet. But I can tell you what's going to happen. HPI is going to take legal action against a company distributing a copied product of a copyrighted product. Just a little update: Bent 1 front shock and 1 rear shock; not bad though it is still runable. The front wheel cracked. I put my badhorsie's on and they look great. Put the windows on and man it looks sweet. Put the outerwears airfilter on. Was a pain Put rear fasteddy turnbuckles on and those are SWEET. It is not running right now picause the pin in the rear hex hub fell out. I ordered 18 of them. It looks as if the rear right hub is cracked and allows wiggle of the toe. Thats pretty much all I can think of right now.

RE: Few questions on some upgrades on Baja 5B
[quote]ORIGINAL: FastEddy The plug guards are a nice upgrade. If you like to check your plug often (And you should) its a godsend. No need to remove it. [/quote] I'm confused which ones are you talking about. When I check my plug what should I be looking for and does it fit with the MSD wire (the stock one does not fit that is why I am worried). [quote]ORIGINAL: Foxy The Fast Eddy turnbuckles are an outstanding piece of kit. When you get them out of the packet, the fatness and the nice machining are great. They go on real easy as well. One of my favourite upgrades so far. Durability and adjustability in one packet. Get both if you can, front and rear. The front ones are perhaps even more impressive than the rear. Couldn't tell you about plug guards, I still use the stock one. [/quote] I am 100% sure I will be ordering the front ones as well. Right now I only want to upgrade what is broken as I'm running a little low on money since I bought my camaro. I ordered 2 parts: Fast Eddy Rear Turnbuckles Outerwears Air-Filter Pre-Filter Also I went out driving and the pin for the hubs well out. Made me pretty upset as thats stopping me driving it for a while; a stupid little pin. To make sure it doesn't happen again I ordered 18 of them. Lol. How does the axle extenders work? There are a lot of them and I was wondering if it was worth the upgrade? Which set would you recommend? I contacted Modified R/C and he said it is going to cost me $75 bucks. Can you say owie? I have heard many good things about his products too so right now I don't know. Practically every other time I flip it breaks the plug so... I guess it's worth it?

Few questions on some upgrades on Baja 5B
Well I need to get some things and want your opinion on them. First (Rear A-arm turnbuckles): http://www.davesmotors.com/store/product2489.html Has anyone tried these? Mine seem to bend a lot. I like to do roll overs. :). I would like something to hold up. If you have other suggestions enlighten me. Second (Spark plug guards): I have broken 3 of these spark plugs. Once again from flipping. Anyway, I do not know if any of them would fit with my MSD spark wire. Does anyone have any recommendations? I know the Carbon Plug Cover by LunaTik fit. But do they hold up? They look like it's for show only: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=370046556564&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=024

RE: Stolen 4x4 Prototype Baja!!!
I have been looking at this for a while. I still cannot get over the fact of this. I used to live in CA my self. Moved to Virginia 2 years ago. What beach were you at? Go to the police department and give it your best shot. You have nothing to loose. Tell them it's worth enough money to buy their car (Don't you'll piss 'em off but you get my point). Another thing you could do is put up a trap. I think that may be your best bet. Simply be bashing and put an R/C on the top of a vehicle. Put cameras around it and keep people on a look out. Either 2 things happened. You were targeted or some kid said, "Oooo those things are cool". In order to see it he could have been on a routine route. If that were me I would be looking non-stop at you guys driving those R/Cs if I had never seen one. I say put up a trap and go from there. Make them something they cannot refuse. I would also go to all the hobby shops. There are MANY hobby shops. I would try to fax every hobby store in Northern California. Look around, some lifeguard stands have cameras. Actually most do. Go to the Lifeguard center (Depending on the beach) and ask them if they have a tape you can watch on this date at this time. It all depends where you were. If only you were on Venice beach, you would have the car 1 hour after it was stolen (Traffic, cameras and mucho cops). I would do anything in my power to get that thing back. Now to everyone's views on stealing. It's wrong. I do not care of your situation. I do not care if you are poor. There is a reason why you are poor. Now granted some people cannot go to college. There are some that are just plain out stupid. But that does NOT give you the right to steal other people's property. If it is not yours simply don't touch it. Not only that but come on man, carma is going to come bite you in the ass and make you regret it. If you said that that guy may have had the right to steal (I don't mean to judge) than you need some respect for other people and yourself. To the people that were saying you should not have left it sitting there. We should NOT have to worry about are stuff being stolen because it is sitting in plain sight. I do not when all of a sudden it was OK to steal something when it is just sitting there. IT'S NOT OK. This whole situation pisses me off. The reason why: When I was 6 I used to race Go-Carts. For Christmas my dad bought me all the parts we needed to blue print the engine. Well after presents were all open we went to go install it. We went out to the garage and all 4 of my carts were stolen. The garage was bent in half. I lost about 7-8k dollars in carts. Only 1 of them were a race cart thank god (not cheap about 1.5k). I got to race it twice. 1st time I got black flagged because I ran into someone on purpose and 2nd I got 1st place and my cart was the slowest and less modified (still brand new). The rest of them were fun carts and so on. Still the point is PEOPLE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THEIR BELONGINGS BEING STOLEN. Now granted in a perfect world things will not get stolen. We all know things are going to get stolen. We all have to watch out for those idiots that decide to do something destructive and stupid. Thank god that technology is evolving to have a safer world. But as good technology evolves so will bad ones. As an example, computer viruses. Countless numbers of viruses are blocked, prevented, repaired, and destroyed a day. But at the same time viruses are also being created, developed and evolving. This is just how things work. I just hope it doesn't get into paypal cause then a lot of people are screwed. There is no way to prevent it. But it cannot hurt to reduce it. Things should be taken in to bigger hands. People that steal (most of the time) will only get a slap on a wrist and maybe a fine. This needs to be changed so they will not do it again. Overall, in no way is stealing right. It is simply wrong. End of story. No if, ands or buts. I hope that you get this back Brice. Brice for your next prototype may I suggest this: http://www.lojack.com/ It is not expensive nor is it cheap. But it will make sure no idiots do anything stupid. These things come in very small packages. I have one in my camaro. It's about the size of a flash drive and could easily be put in a 1/5 car of that size. Maybe inside the engine or something. P.S. The car looks amazing. I wish I could learn to do that. Mind PMing me how you do it? I plan on my career in something like engineering.

Need battery pro's help!
I just got a brand new battery for my HPI Baja 5B. I would like to charge it using my Li-Po charger that also charges other batteries. I have the Super brain 977. Now I'm not good with batteries at all so what do I do for a first charge? Do I need to do something to the battery before I go to full charge? I would like the maximum life out of this. Heres the battery: #4205H 6v 4200mah NiMH 5 cell Sub-C Hump Pack Cell: 4200mah Sub-C Discharge rate: 35amps Size; L 2.62" x W 1.72" x H 1.61". Weight; 10.7oz. Heres the wire: It is 18AWG, 105 degree Celsius, 600v wire on the charger side and 22AWG, 80 degree Celsius, 300v wire on the RX side. I would like to know how to do a first charge and how to charge it after that. Charge to the longest life expectancy. Thanks Justin P.S. I plugged it into my MRC charger and it reads 6.14v. Does that mean that they over charged it? I just got in and it already says that. Didn't even touch the charge.

I just got a brand new battery for my HPI Baja 5B. I would like to charge it using my Li-Po charger that also charges other batteries. I have the Super brain 977. Now I'm not good with batteries at all so what do I do for a first charge? Do I need to do something to the battery before I go to full charge? I would like the maximum life out of this. Heres the battery: #4205H 6v 4200mah NiMH 5 cell Sub-C Hump Pack Cell: 4200mah Sub-C Discharge rate: 35amps Size; L 2.62" x W 1.72" x H 1.61". Weight; 10.7oz. Heres the wire: It is 18AWG, 105 degree Celsius, 600v wire on the charger side and 22AWG, 80 degree Celsius, 300v wire on the RX side. I would like to know how to do a first charge and how to charge it after that. Charge to the longest life expectancy. Thanks Justin P.S. I plugged it into my MRC charger and it reads 6.14v. Does that mean that they over charged it? I just got in and it already says that. Didn't even touch the charge.

RE: What should my settings be? Please help?
[quote]ORIGINAL: guver If it has the larger gage wire and connector then it can be any rate up to 5 amps and allow the charger to automatically set the mv. OR you can simply push start, it will use default settings of 3 amps and 5 mv per cell (perfect) [/quote] Will this give me maximum life expectancy? I do not care if it takes 8 hours to charge. I'm just a little worried because my last (Chinese clone crap) batteries blew up on me, literally. I was doing default settings.... Lol. Also I am not getting guage wire. I got the soldier tabs as they charged 8 bucks to put on the right connectors (RX connector and Tamiya style for charge). I already have the connectors from the one that went boom. It is 18AWG, 105 degree Celsius, 600v wire on the charger side and 22AWG, 80 degree Celsius, 300v wire on the RX side. I pluged it into my MRC charger and it reads 6.14v. Does that mean that they over charged it? I just got in and it already says that. Didn't even touch the charge.

That thing looks SWEET.
