According to my mate, it mostly needs a good exhaust system and some alternation to the clutch to prevent it from wearing down. The clutch bell has openings in the front which allow sand to enter and wear the clutch shoes down VERY fast. There's also some wheel rub at full suspension travel that needs correcting. A Big Bore kit would be nice but not vital. He claims the suspension is superior to the other 'big boys'. Looking at my laptimes at the end of my test run, I tend to agree with him. Having never driven a big scale buggy before, I've set some very decent times. Credit mostly to the Baja.

I'm not sure yet if I'm going to do it. As said, I would receive partial support but I'm spending enough as it is on my 1/10th and 1/8th buggies.
