The Baja 5B SS with it's new livery. Approved by Harley the cat. Next, new windows, shock socks and internal lexan side skirts - all part of the new offensive on grass. For a vehicle that's nearly as old as my Savage, it's looking fresh!

Killer Bee kill switch was fitted in 2009 and has been flawless. Fit and forget. I test it from time to time by switching my Tx off - the engine cuts instantly. Also detects low voltage and allows engine cut to be operated from 3rd Channel.

Belt and Braces - time for a pre-filter too. Should prevent any dust or grime being sucked into the engine.

The back plate was chipped, so it and the shroud were re-sprayed gun metal grey.

The shroud does an excellent job of trapping the grass on the cylinder head, which can lead to over heating.

It gets everywhere. In the UK, most of our off roading will feature grass. The Baja seems to be a grass vacuum cleaner!
