HEY BIG JOHN stock 28-8 nova doin wheelys on the black top THATS WHY I GOT TWO MORE NOVAS best running nitro engine hands down one gallon break in heat cycle take youre time and ya got a smooth running engine cant wait to see that scopod kicking up dirt bro
Zeeeeya braaaap braap ! Very nice stuff gas brother. I been doing basically the same keeping plastic a arms etc on my drag Baja ! Can't wait to see your drag build brother
Hey brother thanks for the shut out !!! The build part list is looking amazing I cant wait to see this bad boy take shape !😍thanks bro love the video as usual 👊👊🏎💨💨💨
Definitely pull apart diff mine had no had stuff all grease in it and diff oil worth undoing a few screws for piece of mind plus will put more torque in it for speed runs
Jason Auteri thanks bro! Let me know if your free this Saturday or next Saturday to meet up and go over some things and some Zeeeeeaah DELTA Coffee ☕️? Can’t wait to see your Bad ass Nitro 4.0 TLR Truggy
That frame is sexy as hell, this is gonna be a beautiful baja, good call on sticking with the plastics, if you put wings on it its gonna fly away.' Great stuff bro'
That thing is going to fly! You might need a wheelie bar since its so light! Might be doing back flips LOL! Nice work Botajell! Cant wait to see u race it!
Good looking start to the baja drag build. Now I hope that you so realize the season has a limit and you don't have forever to build. So with that said let's get wrenching. GOOD LUCK Big BO
Can't wait to see your drag baja it's gonna be sick zeeeaaahhh keep doing what your doing bro cuz your an inspiration to me and I'm sure many others also if ya got some time got a couple new videos up trying to get the channels started and get some subscribers 🍻👊🤘
Always look forward to your videos, they are the best on youtube in my opinion by far. I have six 5th scales now, my newest being the 5b. I'm still working on the dragster and have decided to do the 5b afterwards. Oneday I will come out there to a drag event.
BERRY RC bro that would be Awesome 👏👍🤝💥💥👊! We must meet up someday and that would be great to meet up at the race track. Can’t wait to see what you do to your Baja !!
Finally able to catch up on your vids bro. Another sick build from an rc master! I can't wait. I'm going to completely rebuild mines as well and completely convert it to street performance. Not drag racing though.
I was thinking about to do the same thing lol ! One of these days I want to set up a Baja or get a FG for street performance because I have a group of friends that get together in big parking lots and on road race . They have a blast so I may set up a car for that type of driving in the future but I can always throw a set of slicks to my X2
BOTAJELL the X2 would be a nice street truck. I'm working on creating a new product bro. When I'm ready I would like to send you some free stuff to test out and tell me what you think and what I would need to tweek. But that's all I can say for now. Peace my bra brother.
Plastic and carbon fiber are your best bet to stay light weight and strong I can't wait to see your drag baja bro its gonna be sick and again THANKS for the love really makes a difference
Cool stuff man, lot of nice parts, gives me some ideas as i plan on doing another Baja rebuild in the future, good to see sharing what you have and knowledge it helps me out and lots of others as well keep up the good work & can’t wait to see that beast unfold (whitto’s rc from Australia)
Love the table of goodies‼️‼️‼️. Turtle racing parts are great i have all of them in my 5sc. However in a drag racing application like you said light weight is key. The one great thing though about the turtle racing clutch housing is that it has the proper length stud and no spacer is required witch makes putting the engine in much easier. Great video as always.
That's going to be one light slingshot baja, but of course you would get off to one hell of a start. All you need to figure out now is engine and diff configurations and of course proper effective tires and you will be kicking ass before our very eye's. I see a great light weight build in the making!
Hey brother played God of War and got pretty far into it it's an awsome game almost cinematic your gonna like it if you haven't played it much yet. This is a sweet build. I took my basically stock baja out for a rip last days off was a ton of fun even had my dad take it for a rip😂. Seemed a little slower then I remember might have to gear up a bit but don't want to loose the low end either. Also I got my motor a Novarossi 28-8 REX Legend the one you recommended for my soon to be truggy build. Haven't got the actual truggy kit yet waiting until mid summer and want to sell a few of my other RC before I get to many. I picked up a X-ray XB8 used also and went ahead and got a Novarossi Karma .21 limited edition for that one. That will be a experiment for me. Your fan and brother from 🇨🇦😂😂👍 just in case you forgot haha. Take care for now. Working another two weeks 👎😂. Can't wait for my next rotation off to play with some of these toys.
Nice video! Lots of goodies. Have you looked into the symmetrical steering system for the Baja? They work great and can be plastic too. I had it on a 5sc and it made it into a different car all together. A must have for the Baja cars bro. Ebay
As far as Driveshafts..... I'd say stick with the lighter 9mm Dogbones. *BUT,* get yourself a set of TOOBZ at DDM. That will keep your Hardened Drive Cups from EXPLODING!! REMEMBER - for the later Bajas, they use the 5SC Drive Cups.... (You never know, when you know SO MUCH, you CAN forget small details!!) 👌👍👍😎 Carmine 💥⛽
Good videos! Go with the locked diff. Use Tubes for the 5b cups. I use Phatdad dog bones too. All Light weight & everything is fragile. Don't wreck, thats the name of the game. Oh ya, Ditch the stainless front chassis reinforcement brace Its too heavy. The aluminum version is garbage.
If doing straight drag u want minimal alloy parts as possible they make carbon shock mounts n top plates engine wise one my buddys has an obr 57 twin on full carbon build so motor wise u good wit carbon
BOTAJELL Yea, I ordered it through detroit rc. I'm waiting in suspense till it comes. Hopefully this week. Let me know if you want to do an unboxing. Keep the vids coming!
longboardguy adjust your carburetor so your engine can idle with the throttle completely closed ! Then you must adjust your end points on your remote and then you are good to go !! Also check your end points for your steering because you don’t want to burn out your Servos
BOTAJELL thanks for the tips I'm done work in two days I'll have a look at it. Can't wait to run it some more on my days off. Found a nice size dirt hill to play on might throw on the paddles and see how it is haha
Hey brat brother you forgot about me jrodtheman from reading pa I’m trying to get out to hang out and love to c your work shop we talked a little over the phone your a busy guy keep up the awesome videos I’m gonna start my Chanel back up I’m waiting on O’Neil new 34 v2 reed getting built only to run 100+ octane only
Here's a story you might like, ok back when I was a noob I was into electric amd I thought it was cool but then I saw vids on youtube (including yours) about nitro cars so I went to my hobby store (it was traxxas warehouse and now is closed lol) to get somthing that broke on my exceed buggy and when I was there I asked about nitro and if it was easy and stuff of that nature and the dude (now looking back at it) said a bunch of things that were soo dumb. So he said "don't do it becuase there finicky, you have to put oil in it after every run, clean the filter, and take the engine apart after every run" and at that time I knew a little bit about nitro and I watched vids on mantinence and I knew that you didn't have to take the engine apart so I bought one anyways. And I loved that car and I mantained it and one I had to get the brakes replaced and I knew how to do everything but that and I thought that was hard becuase on the Nitro 4 tec it's all jammed by the engine (kind of like a baja) soo they charged me $180 dollars for a brake job!!! What a big scam, so that's when I became interested in how everything worked and I started wrenching myself and ever since then I love working on rc! And I know not to give my car to a hobby store unless it's somewhere like Track day hobbies which I know wouldn't scam me.
Great video john as always. Can i ask though, would you ever get a vekta 5? from what i heard theyre the "top of the line" in some peoples eyes, Is it just brand loyalty or something that may be in the future? I think that would be a awesome piece to your already vast collection. :) keep up the good work. Family member michael!
Michael Williams I love the Vekta there awesome pieces on machinery! I hope 🤞 to someday have one in my collection but at the moment I have so much going on plus I miss my Next Level Nitros and got to get back to them as well! I have about 12 close friends of mine that live close to me that have Vektas and I know the truck very well!
OK!!! That Carbon Fiber Chassis is SAHWEET!!!!!!! 🍺🍺🍺👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍😎 OMFG! Even the Gelcoat is nice, smooth and a nice polished finish. You said it.... SEXY!!! Zeeeeeeaaaah!!!! ☕😍 Carmine ⛽💥 (someday!)
Hey John I have a question ? O.b.r. 34cc 7.9 full mod. None reed valve or o.b.r. 32cc 7.7 hp full mod ? I'm pulling the trigger on one of them in morning needed a good opinion
BOTAJELL oh I'm upgrading a few things on my orange baja lol want more power lol so decide to buy o.b.r . Motor for drag racing ! An I trust your opinion on them ! But ya that's what I'm up to new motor braaaaaaaap lol
Levi Hogge don’t know ?? Should be interesting both of them with 2 speed? I like me a hi rev 30.5 but a 32 would be great and even a 34 just to push the tall gearing but a good Modified 30.5 would be nasty ! My friend ran the OBR 32 for a year on his 5T and it did well and the 5T is much heavier now he runs OBR 46 in the 5T and he put the 32 in a smaller lighter Losi 5B and it’s still running good ! If you get there 34 ? Make sure it’s a good Modified one so you get some RPMs out of it .
Justin Vellier good point but grams ain’t a big deal to me since I can hang the parts back on the wall . I am aware that everything you said is true No Questions . I’m going to save my alumni upgrades for off-road Bajas that I also have to work on eventually
DIFFS.... (Sorry! Long Video, LOTS of info!!) 😵😵 I would HAVE to say here, go with the ROVAN. Why?? Simple, Tuneable and Controllable. It's more than a bit heavier... But WHERE is that Weight? *Right over the DRIVE WHEELS!!!* 👍👍👌😎 Ya Dig?? Carmine 💥⛽
FLYWHEEL - *DEFINITELY* go with the shaved one! You already know the answer. Weight isn't the issue. Fluid Dynamic, Parasitic LOSSES from those Fine Though!! Worried about COOLING? Fashion a lightweight Plastic Sheet Air Scoop. That can give you some extra "Ram Air Cooling" at Speed. Wit one of doze, you'll be able to cool that Head BETTER than ANY Fan can! And it will be COOL air, not the HOT shit blowing up from the Flywheel. 👍👍 If I'm going too far, let me know. I'm just blowing the Dust off of 4 DECADES of Gas Engine experience! 😊😉
That front Upper Chassis Brace.... Whatever you think is best......... BUT, I just put that km Carbon Fiber Brace on my Wish List!!! 😁😁 It seems to me, for Bashing, you WANT the front of the Baja as LIGHT as possible! I've seen them Jump - they ALWAYS Land on their FRONT WHEELS!!!l 😠😱 That's just BAD, in multiple ways.....
Eric Moreno I got it from Track Day Hobbies and you may also be able to get one from a Motorcycle dealer that sells ATVs and Dirt Bikes but this is the link ! Ask Ray to send it to you Track Day Hobbiesmaps.apple.com/?address=1542%20Hempstead%20Tpke,%20Elmont,%20NY%20%2011003,%20United%20States&auid=10992206771197746560&ll=40.707193,-73.697070&lsp=9902&q=Track%20Day%20Hobbies&_ext=ChkKBQgEEOIBCgQIBRADCgQIBhAWCgQIChAAEiQpFVHLH/JZREAxPM/do/tsUsA5kybxexhbREBBnMgVfDlsUsA%3D
Bro I can’t wait to see more of your videos 👍💥🍻🤝! Keep up the great work ! Wish we can meet up one of these days ! You are allowed to post your videos up in the comments of anyone of my videos bro 🤝! There are some fake bitches out there that try to do that and even sell there garbage under my name without my permission and me knowing . I can’t stand that shit and do not allow it.
We should be getting together again soon. They got together but I couldn’t go. I was in training for my new job and was out of town. But I have some stuff planned out for the next meet.
I forgot but I have it written down somewhere. I think it was 24lbs but I had to add weight to the front to keep it down and also a little weight on the back so I could have better traction at the track
david pessall Bajas need thin oil to lock up quickly unlike LOSI Style diffs !! Are you aware of that? If I go thick it will not grab as hard only with Baja Diffs
dallas robey I work 8 to 8 everyday. Lately I have only been working 8 to 4 but I have done some side work like Roof repairs and even cutting trees . I have to work a lot always not just for my toys that I love to do but mostly for my family!!
dallas robey it’s doing well in my painted and clear coated stuff so far. But I am aware that there are different types of other silicones out there that can eat at things especially penetrates but the silence sprays and waxes I use love to protect and prevent stuff from sticking to surfaces
HEY BIG JOHN stock 28-8 nova doin wheelys on the black top THATS WHY I GOT TWO MORE NOVAS best running nitro engine hands down one gallon break in heat cycle take youre time and ya got a smooth running engine cant wait to see that scopod kicking up dirt bro

cant wait to see what this beast is going to look like after its all done.
glenn gillan 👍👍🤝👊🍻
Good looking start to the baja drag build. Now I hope that you so realize the season has a limit and you don't have forever to build. So with that said let's get wrenching. GOOD LUCK Big BO

Dam good story
Great video again ! i missed the part number for the rovan upgraded diff (red) that was in a box, also is it still available ? thanks
Ray Mullan I think this is it
www.rovanrc.com/gears-gear-kits/hpi-baja-5b-5t-cnc-aluminum-case-differential/
thanks i'll look into it !
Ray Mullan no problem!
Good videos!
Go with the locked diff. Use Tubes for the 5b cups. I use Phatdad dog bones too. All Light weight & everything is fragile.
Don't wreck, thats the name of the game. Oh ya, Ditch the stainless front chassis reinforcement brace
Its too heavy. The aluminum version is garbage.
If doing straight drag u want minimal alloy parts as possible they make carbon shock mounts n top plates engine wise one my buddys has an obr 57 twin on full carbon build so motor wise u good wit carbon
david pessall wow 😮 your buddies Baja twin sounds so ZEEEEEAAH bro 👋🏼🍆👋🏼🍆💦💦💦💦💦
Sic build,
I got a gt 90 rc maxx coming in a few weeks with the hole rc maxx kit. Im not far from you, hit me up.
Keep the vids coming!!!!
Angelo RC wow!!! That's awsome congratulations on your new 90GT!! Maybe you can make a vid running it??
Karrie Bhurgari i will as soon as i recieve it. I ordered it 3 weeks ago.
Angelo RC awsome!
Zeeeeeaah 👍🤝👊💥💥⛽️💥💥 !! Congratulations 🍾🎉🎊 Brother!! Did you get everything from Detroit Performance RC?
BOTAJELL
Yea,
I ordered it through detroit rc.
I'm waiting in suspense till it comes.
Hopefully this week.
Let me know if you want to do an unboxing. Keep the vids coming!
Here's a question when I apply my brakes on the baja it slows idle and almost kills engine at times. Is that a linkage adjustment issue?
longboardguy adjust your carburetor so your engine can idle with the throttle completely closed ! Then you must adjust your end points on your remote and then you are good to go !! Also check your end points for your steering because you don’t want to burn out your Servos
BOTAJELL thanks for the tips I'm done work in two days I'll have a look at it. Can't wait to run it some more on my days off. Found a nice size dirt hill to play on might throw on the paddles and see how it is haha
Hey brat brother you forgot about me jrodtheman from reading pa I’m trying to get out to hang out and love to c your work shop we talked a little over the phone your a busy guy keep up the awesome videos I’m gonna start my Chanel back up I’m waiting on O’Neil new 34 v2 reed getting built only to run 100+ octane only
Here's a story you might like, ok back when I was a noob I was into electric amd I thought it was cool but then I saw vids on youtube (including yours) about nitro cars so I went to my hobby store (it was traxxas warehouse and now is closed lol) to get somthing that broke on my exceed buggy and when I was there I asked about nitro and if it was easy and stuff of that nature and the dude (now looking back at it) said a bunch of things that were soo dumb.

I hope 🤞 to someday have one in my collection but at the moment I have so much going on plus I miss my Next Level Nitros and got to get back to them as well! I have about 12 close friends of mine that live close to me that have Vektas and I know the truck very well!
👍👍👍 I love that table of goodies

Thanks for the ride bro, top notch update on Baja.........carbon ANY?
TheMaddogMadigan 👍🤝👊💥🍻🍻

OMFG! Even the Gelcoat is nice, smooth and a nice polished finish. You said it.... SEXY!!! Zeeeeeeaaaah!!!! ☕😍
Carmine ⛽💥 (someday!)
Hey John I have a question ? O.b.r. 34cc 7.9 full mod. None reed valve or o.b.r. 32cc 7.7 hp full mod ? I'm pulling the trigger on one of them in morning needed a good opinion
Levi Hogge I say both lmao 🤣!! I like both ! They both will feel different from each other also . What’s it going on ?
BOTAJELL oh I'm upgrading a few things on my orange baja lol want more power lol so decide to buy o.b.r . Motor for drag racing ! An I trust your opinion on them ! But ya that's what I'm up to new motor braaaaaaaap lol
BOTAJELL it be going on the orange buggy. Wth the 2 speed
Levi Hogge don’t know ?? Should be interesting both of them with 2 speed? I like me a hi rev 30.5 but a 32 would be great and even a 34 just to push the tall gearing but a good Modified 30.5 would be nasty !

If you get there 34 ? Make sure it’s a good Modified one so you get some RPMs out of it .
Levi Hogge that’s awesome 👏 bro ! I hope to see you in Brooklyn on June 24
Just my suggestion, if you want to be more precise take the stuff out of the bag. Believe it or not the bag can give a few grams/oz on the scale.
Justin Vellier good point but grams ain’t a big deal to me since I can hang the parts back on the wall . I am aware that everything you said is true No Questions . I’m going to save my alumni upgrades for off-road Bajas that I also have to work on eventually
I know how particular you can be. I wasn’t sure how deep you are diving into the drag racing.
Justin Vellier thanks . Next year I’m going to dive in a little deeper.
How do I stop brake in the Boat on my to speed
DIFFS.... (Sorry! Long Video, LOTS of info!!) 😵😵
I would HAVE to say here, go with the ROVAN. Why?? Simple, Tuneable and Controllable. It's more than a bit heavier... But WHERE is that Weight? *Right over the DRIVE WHEELS!!!* 👍👍👌😎 Ya Dig??
Carmine 💥⛽
FLYWHEEL - *DEFINITELY* go with the shaved one! You already know the answer. Weight isn't the issue. Fluid Dynamic, Parasitic LOSSES from those Fine Though!!
Worried about COOLING? Fashion a lightweight Plastic Sheet Air Scoop. That can give you some extra "Ram Air Cooling" at Speed. Wit one of doze, you'll be able to cool that Head BETTER than ANY Fan can! And it will be COOL air, not the HOT shit blowing up from the Flywheel. 👍👍
If I'm going too far, let me know. I'm just blowing the Dust off of 4 DECADES of Gas Engine experience! 😊😉
That front Upper Chassis Brace.... Whatever you think is best......... BUT, I just put that km Carbon Fiber Brace on my Wish List!!! 😁😁 It seems to me, for Bashing, you WANT the front of the Baja as LIGHT as possible! I've seen them Jump - they ALWAYS Land on their FRONT WHEELS!!!l 😠😱
That's just BAD, in multiple ways.....
Hey there brother. Where did you get the K&N air filter. I have been looking for one. I would really like to order one. Let me know please.
Eric Moreno I got it from Track Day Hobbies and you may also be able to get one from a Motorcycle dealer that sells ATVs and Dirt Bikes but this is the link ! Ask Ray to send it to you Track Day Hobbiesmaps.apple.com/?address=1542%20Hempstead%20Tpke,%20Elmont,%20NY%20%2011003,%20United%20States&auid=10992206771197746560&ll=40.707193,-73.697070&lsp=9902&q=Track%20Day%20Hobbies&_ext=ChkKBQgEEOIBCgQIBRADCgQIBhAWCgQIChAAEiQpFVHLH/JZREAxPM/do/tsUsA5kybxexhbREBBnMgVfDlsUsA%3D

Bro I can’t wait to see more of your videos 👍💥🍻🤝! Keep up the great work ! Wish we can meet up one of these days ! You are allowed to post your videos up in the comments of anyone of my videos bro 🤝! There are some fake bitches out there that try to do that and even sell there garbage under my name without my permission and me knowing . I can’t stand that shit and do not allow it.
We should be getting together again soon. They got together but I couldn’t go. I was in training for my new job and was out of town. But I have some stuff planned out for the next meet.
what was the end weight?
I forgot but I have it written down somewhere. I think it was 24lbs but I had to add weight to the front to keep it down and also a little weight on the back so I could have better traction at the track

With the diff dnt use a locker if u want a safer version of a locker just put a heavy weight diff oil in my drag baja I run 1m diff oil

Clear coat and silicone don’t like each other
dallas robey it’s doing well in my painted and clear coated stuff so far. But I am aware that there are different types of other silicones out there that can eat at things especially penetrates but the silence sprays and waxes I use love to protect and prevent stuff from sticking to surfaces
