RPM Products front bumper w/skidplate & complete rear bumper w/skidplate purchased yesterday from DDM and already in the mail TGN roof wing/SPARK PLUG COVER (silver)... 
This thing has a freaking FORTUNE in it already!!! At least IMO. I have seen some Baja's that are EXTREMELY Xtreme but IMO I believe they can get overboard and over~kill with "BLING". My build is focused on practical & functional for all purpose RACE/BASH... I think I have pretty much accomplished that in this build 
Anyone have any tips or "HOW TO" properly break in the new internals in the motor. I have a general understanding of allowing it to idle full tank with randon feathering of the throttle every once in a while then allowing it to complete sit and cool. REPEAT STEPS FOR 3 tanks. Is this true?
FUTURE MODS considering or coming soon:
* ROTO START or Turtle Racing HD Pull Start kit
* BLUR quick release for air filter
* Turtle Racing 1pc billet brake assembly
* "MAYBE" DDM closed lugs (or DARKSOUL "Stars"), DDM gas cap and pull start handle (silver)

So far so good! They stop HARD!!! the little bit I rolled and stopped... But I still need to tune the carb with the modified fuel line(s) kit and the Walbro 813 carb and 29cc motor are not liking each other right now...LOL...as for tires...These are def temps... I have paddles and ribs for the real sand and dirt and plan on getting some Desperados with BadLands... Thanks!

Nice build bro! Might I suggest a few items? All from Killer-RC.
Killer Bee is a must... kills the engine via radio. Engine goes wide open, flick a switch to kill the engine electronically. Battery goes dead, it kills the engine. Battery disconnects, it kills the engine... Nice bling too. Lots of people do a double take when I drive my 5t to my feet and turn off the radio and the engine dies... Cheap insurance!
Killer-RC Killer Cables... limits the down travel of the suspension via cable instead of pulling on your shocks. Save those expensive shocks!
And the killer rc rear turnbuckle kit. These go over the rear upper links that are common to tweaking, bending, etc. They spread out the load to the full diameter of the plastic parts, instead of just on the steel all-thread. I've only ran a few times without these. This info is based purely on research.
I'm not paid by Killer-Rc. Not sponsored in any way, these are just my honest suggestions of equipment that I run on my 5t/ SC conversion.

alone with the front qk release bar (just to make life a lil easier with the body pins under the lip of the chassis) and a 3CH radio... Nothing BLING, just a simple upgrade from my Futaba 2pl to now a Futaba 3pl...

Nice! The 4pl will be my next upgrade! Although now I'm running an Airtronics MX-3SS 2.4ghz... and I can't find anything wrong with it! Unlike the DX3R that rarely tripped my Killer-Bee V2-S!! Airtronics trips it 100% of the time. DX3R was only about 40-50% of the time. Never figured out why, so I sold the POS.
Nice Baja! CHEERS!
Nice Baja! CHEERS!
I wanted the 4pl... But really looked into all the additional features and really don't need it or will ever use it... My 2pl was AMAZING and the signal felt like FOREVER! I was just looking for that additional 3ch...Thats it. But the 4pl LOOKS SWEET! But at $240-250.00 for bling and sexyness... I will stay with my 3pl at $110.00
