What are some upgrades that are needed on the 5Bs?

Or just some good to have.

Ill be subscribing to this one. I've found out a air filter and pre filter is good. And a pipe of course. Mine is only a 23cc though.

I might get the RB Innovations air filter which forces air into the engine for more power.

I know I'm skeptical but I have a hard time believing that ad. I run a aluminum adapter that's smooth and an 1.5" if I remember right and an uni clamp on filter. Like a motorcycle. I started with one that's 1.25" but wanted bigger for more air.

I also tried the ddm dominator side mount pipe. And an engage RC pipe that's looks like an ss pipe with a side bleed. Now I'm getting ready to try the ss pipe.

Hotrod-
Do not try the SS pipe, its worthless if you've run a Dominator.....No low end at all.


#1 pre-filter for the pull start
#2 Fail-Safe
#3 One of the recommended tuned pipes, I prefer the Dominator v1 or v2
#4 Hostile MX rear tires
#5 HD Beadlock rings

I'm sure there are others that people recommend, but generally, just replace parts as they break with upgraded items

#1 should be a failsafe.
#2 Killer RC suspension cables.
#3 Outerwears for pullstart and airfilter.
The list goes on, but I would start there. Join HPIBajaForums if you haven't already, lots of info!

Replace the clutch carrier with a quality aluminum one..either open or enclosed and address the stock pinion bolt as it likes to snap in stock form..

I ran the pinion bolt in from the backside and out a nut on the outside and have not had any problems with it.

I don't think that's a good idea.

The more info you can give us, the better we'll be able to help you. Where will you be using your Baja; dirt, grass, and/or sand? Are you planning to install a high HP engine in the near future? Are you a basher, or a racer?

#1, above all else, you should have a remote kill switch

#2, outerwears prefilters for your air filter, and pullstarter, and crankcase to protect your pullstarter in even the dustiest conditions

#3, upgrade the stock plastic clutch bearing carrier with a metal one, be shure to get an enclosed version if you'll be running in sand

I'm running in grass, I'm a basher, but not jumping it.

The best upgrade is a kill switch, then taking that crap RB filter off and going with a stock filter with a redneck and Outerwears on it. Then just upgrade as it breaks, a good pipe is always another good upgrade to have as well.

Thats where you go if you wanna deal with retards all day. You need to check out www.bajaaddicts.com or www.rclargescale.com if you want good info without all the BS of a communist forum.

Interesting. I joined the other one and they seem very biased. Had a thread deleted because I asked about an engage RC pipe I have.

So I just took off the engage RC pipe I have. I tried the ss pipe I have sounds good but a little loud for me. Lost alot of bottom end. May have gained a little top end. So far out if the three the dominator pipe runs best. Good bottom and great top. Just not sure I like the pipe running down the side of my machine.
