[BrushMan8695]

How much more is the SS then the regular baja 5B? I think 5T is better:) ima truck kindsa guy tho ha

[rccarsarklow]

Hi BrushMan8695, Not sure of the price difference between the two at the moment as it was two years ago when i bought the SS,yeah the 5T is a good machine also my 5T is one tough truck indeed i've gave it hell and its still going great. it has a 27.2 raceport engine with 2mm crank that i got from a fellow irish baja basher friend of mine and it has a v.1 rear dominator pipe,cheers.

[TheBajaBoy97]

[rccarsarklow]

Hi marcostheman503,thank you for your nice comment,cheers

[rccarsarklow]

To see this baja almost 2 years on have a look at the video response i've posted up.

[kirksajerk]

o sorry i didnt watch that part with all the descriptions and stuff. cause i was getting something to eat. its just httat wen i came back u were drivening it fast.

[rccarsarklow]

hi kirksajerk,no worries we all have to eat sometime and let me tell ya most people don't even read half the stuff that people write up me included lol if we did it would get very boring but i like to put up a write up for a bit of info,cheers and thanks for looking at my videos.

[kirksajerk]

@rccarsarklow ya cheers and i love the orange on the car. and how much did u get those shock socks for.

[rccarsarklow]

hi kirksajerk,the brother in law got the shock socks near 2yrs ago or so can't remember what they cost,and i got the baja ss logo printed on them a print shop the place where they print the crests for school uniforms and football tops etc etc

[kirksajerk]

@rccarsarklow o nice do those shock socks were great and how does the car still run today

[rccarsarklow]

hi kirksajerk,thanks man! yip to see the baja 5bss and how it looks and runs now type in (baja 5bss ultra-wider picture slide show p.1 of 2) and see what ya think of it,cheers

[kirksajerk]

if its never been started before and this is its first time wy are u trying to go as fast as u can with it during the break in process.

[rccarsarklow]

hi kirksajerk,if you've had read the text in the video you'll have read about the break in process

and the video was stopped and started at diffrent times,the baja was driven at low speeds at first as you can hear me pop reving it and at 132 you'll see a break in the video thats just one of the stop and tickover parts as i said before who wants to see a baja sitting there ticking over it would be a very long video,cheers

[Kruemel696]

Dafür das der Neu ist fickt der den Motor aber ordentlich..

[bayyoomi]

WHAT THE HELL!! IS WRONG WTH ALL THAT SMOKE COMIN OUT FROM BEHIND

[rccarsarklow]

eh! cos its not electric lol.

[viss3n]

that thing is dirty... that how a baja should be !

[minimustang01]

I think you like the orange color...

[rccarsarklow]

hi minimustang01,could be a lot to do with it been an SS lol,

OH! and i like your channel color lol.cheers!

[nilo4ever]

According to the HPI Baja manual, it states, easy driving for the first tank.

After that it's full blast.

[rccarsarklow]

manual,what manual i seen no manual LOL

[bryan12887]

@rccarsarklow LOL

[I3order]

2 stroke engine, don't believe it needs to be broken in.

[rccarsarklow]

hi 13order,it sure does for the first 3 tanks or there abouts and don't touch any H or L

needles till after the 4th tank or there abouts.

[Lordog86]

If thats brand new so much for the most important part of RC, breaking the engine in... Fail

[rccarsarklow]

well if you go back and look at the older comments on here you'll see

that the 5bss was run in,as i said before thats the beauty of been able to edit

the camera footage,it was run stoped run stoped and all the stoped parts cut out

unless ya want to see it just sit there cooling down lol, passed.....with honours

[jimcarmar]

what did you use to paint the tires??

[rccarsarklow]

paint is a tyre pen and its made by pilot,i got it from my local auto store

[ctahgw]

it's not often you see people who trick out there baja's before they run them, i like that. a bit of a waste with all the garnish, i like mine rough. but not bad

[fuckinlowdowndrummer]

hehehehe sweeeet car.

flag down in the end:)

[rccarsarklow]

true but its worth it lol

[2much0wnag3]

lol now u have to clean it :(

[rccarsarklow]

I agree skatelement1 thats why if you had watched all the video you'll see a green link and press it to this baja a yr later mmm.....

[skatelement1]

this car is nice and everything but after seeing 4 million ss kits all orange it gets kinda old

[rccarsarklow]

well guys the thing is if you look at the start up of the baja there is a little jump in the video just when i pull start it thats where i edited out the video to let it warm up well a fair bit of editing really i had to cut bits out of the vid or it gets to long ie. ticking over to warm up break times for run in like 15mins here and there that i don't think anyone wants to see a baja just sitting there cooling down.well bottom line is thats the beauty of video/edit

[son8god8damn]

first start up u need to let it idel for like 30 secs before you take off

[cerbrus2]

You think 30 seconds is a good enough run in LOL

[son8god8damn]

thats just to get it warm kinda not a break in

[mylob123]

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[rccarsarklow]

thanks for your nice comment rottieweiler,the flag and shock soks were got for me last yr by my brother-in-law not sure where he bought them,i got the names baja printed on them,i have now upgraded the baja 5bss ITS THE SAME BAJA i've just upgraded it one yr on,have a look at it in my other videos,its called  (baja 5bss goes ultra------wider unveiled and our test driver the stig) .

[RottieWeiler]

very nice Baja you got there...like it very much...where did u get the shock socks with Baja written on them ? and that cute orange flag also with Baja written on it ? :D thx...;)

[iHAZOURDOUSx]

everything about that seemed so nice except the ending lmao

[damobyrne09]

Good stuff, A great clean car!

Keep the vids coming :D

[rccarsarklow]

dude this is NOT NITRO, in these 1/5 scale cars they have a fan flywheel on the side of the engine with small type blades on it to keep it cool,but NITRO dose NOT have that maybe too small,thats why you have to tune your NITRO every time you bring it out ie.high needle low needle? has alot to do with the weather,nearly all these bajas have lexan or some sort of dust stoper on them to keep the dirt out from the air filter.

[jshrsnbrg]

dude im sorry to say this but i have been around nitro/ gas things since i was about 4 and no matter what, you have to do a break in process to make a tight fit with the piston and sleave. if you buy an exotic car as well you will have to break in the engine and keep the RMP's below about 5,000. This esures a tight fit with the piston and sleeve. if not done, you will lose compression consequently losing performance. hope this helps

[tankerboysabot]

dude whats up with all the lexan? i know with nitro having all the areas that keep the engine cooled covered overheats the engine.

[jplayerjm]

hi thanks fore the youtube info on your baja cool i have had 3 of these i drove them a little and then sold back on ebay .....nice video ..

[thyrn]

lol at the dirt

[baja5bss1]

man i have the baja5bss and thts good you broke the engine in cuz man itle blow if you dont and can you do back flips cuz if you do there really nice i do them all thetime

[szymekszczecin]

you don't have to break in the engine?

[MihailTube]

This is the gas world buddy, not nitro! haha

[Supercowhawkins]

yeah you do lol

[mattmanenti]

can you please tell me were did you get thoes tires from please thank you.

[rccarsarklow]

m8 they are normal hpi dirt busters with the writeing highlighted with a trye paint pen

[rccarsarklow]

no prob m8

just watched your vid awwsome so the summer is going to come a little early for us here at rccarsarklow lol

[RoninsRCRacing]

Nice, just unpacking a 5T version video up soon. Want to see a really dirty 5B SS? Check out the response haha

[rccarsarklow]

we have plans of getting the 5t for the summer.

this vid aint about how dirty we could get it.

we put the last screw in the ss 20mins before we made the vid.

the vid was the first time we ran the baja and thats just how it ended up when we were finished it`s been in a worse state after a days run

[RoninsRCRacing]

Just filmed the 5T today doing some light jumps, just the first tank in it, if you want to see some great slo mo stuff, check it out later tomorrow probably.

Figured it wasn't about being dirty, just thought it was funny, the way you talked about not watching the end, sounded like you demo'd it, not got it dirty

[rccarsarklow]

we bought the shock covers on ebay,and added our own decals

[shute246]

thats a very nice baja

[rccarsarklow]

thanks shute246 we have made a few changes to our baja's since them videos,lots of hop ups on the 5b and a few bits on the 5bss'its been to cold to get videos but should be soon.

[voltmeter101]

it looks good painted orange i painted mine yellow where did you get those cool shock covers??
