It is a nice Video. In my opinion it looks like the buggy could use a little more power. What is the top speed on one of those? I know I can look up he specs on it but what is the gearing engine size and weight on them? Steve |

I got to drive a customer's Baja in the parking lot the other day. Big Mistake. Now I want one even more than before. I can only imagine the fun you'd have out there in Cali.

If HPI would have had the paddles out sooner I would probably have not gotten rid of mine. I have heard those X cans do more bad than good. |

That looked really, really fun. Cool video, Bender. That red Jeep is sick! I miss Utah. My years there were spent mtb downhilling and freeriding, I had sold my buggies and put r/c aside for that period of my life. Seems such a shame looking back, I really missed out on some cool places to drive. Were you runnin' the 5B over the crypto-hypnotic layer or whatever the hell they call it? Don't let the Eco-Hippies see you, you'll get a big speech about how it takes millions of years to form and you crush it in seconds, blah, blah, and you'll have to at the least heavily insult them to get them to leave you alone... (Look at my bike you stinky hippy, it gets 10" of travel, has 3" tires, and weighs 46 pounds. Do you REALLY think standing in my way is a wise idea???  )

For running in the dunes the 5B really needs some more power, as soon as I can afford it I'll be getting a big bore kit for it. Awesome video Brad, wish I would have had the big bore kit for it this time would have made for better video. | |

I got some great advice from Chris at Vegas Motor Sports. He has been moding and building up the Zen for many years. Give him a call at 702-362-9294. He had some good ideas for mine before I got rid of it. I know that he said the X can just makes more noise than power. The real upgrade to do is the Jet Pro tuned pipe. |

Another cool video to a good tune and awesome footage, can't beat that. The r/c sandrail looks like killer fun, not to mention all the full size toys! Thumbs up all around |
