I thought I better update everybody that has asked, I have now started work on part 2!!! The engine is coming together!!! :)

Excellent video, you could totally see that drill was going to bite you!!! Always easier in hindsight. Can’t wait for the next video

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

Part two now please I’m so into the hpi Baja 5b engine rebuilt😁

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.

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.

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.

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?

Your first and last video haha
