Looks just like my 4port 29cc rovan 5B. Same colour as well. My engine is fine but the rear differential was seized. Front was all smashed up. Steering was seized. Aluminium was bent in multiple locations. Anyway I am attempting to fix it all for less than $20
just a small edition to your commentary: this is much easier if you use reverse drill bit(s) - using it means it will drill into the stuck screw(s) depending on how stuck it is it may eventually thread it loose. if not, you tried and keep on drilling. from own experience i have had the luck to thread the stuck screws out eventually more times then not.
Hi Mark, I use a 25:1 ratio but use a high performance fully synth castrol oil. I haven't had any fouling of the plug. What oil do you use, might be the culprit?
I hope part 2 comes out .I saw in the comments that work has got in the way ,we all get that my friend !! lol could you tell us what the rebuild kit was that you used please ?
Hi Ken, are you in the UK? I didn't buy a kit, I bought what bits I needed using the original Baja SS manual from various online shops here in the UK. For part 2 I'll try and make a list of what is needed for a 'refresh' rebuild.
@@rcvida Thanks so much for getting back to me ..I am in Canada and the motor I have looks just like yours .This is my first 1/5 scale car ,I have 1/8 scale cars but this is my first 1/5th scale and it's a king motor baja 5b 2nd hand ..I will look out for the next video ..Cheers
Sad to see there was never a part 2, but still quite informative. I pulled my baja out of the garage, where it has lived for almost 6 years now, and I'm hoping to revitalize it. My engine does turn over, but it will not start, so I am betting I need to rebuild (or heaven forbid, replace) the carb assembly.
