**sj's Bajr Build**

**sliding_josh** · 07-28-2010 12:41 AM

So I was Bashing out in the front yard as usual with my son and brother, Ill cut to the chase!

I was hauling tail down a straight we have in the front yard with my son next to me on the right, It was a Full out drag race to the lil dirt kicker we have in the drive way, when all of a sudden while at full speed he clips the rear end of my truck throwing me in to a series of flips and barrel rools, when all of a sudden my truck goes air born to about 4-5 feet up in the air and smashes into a tree, But it carnage did not stop there it did this crazy 360 spin in mid air and clipped my brothers passanger side mirror on his nice 1995 Burgandy Chevy 1500, Lets just say I took the mirror clean off the truck and then wedged my slash under the back of his chevy's truck wheel,
When I picked up the truck it was broke in half! Chassis was done!

And we have no video whats so ever of this carnage! (of course ) = sorry!

But do have after math pics!

So now with this broken 2wd truck, I decited to rebuild it But I wanted something a lil different, So I went with a Back Bajr Build.

I thought it would be cool to make one of these to keep track of the build, with pics and some vids of this build!

Im already in the half way stages so im gunna just post from the start! Im gunna Build and drive then upgrade and drive and then upgrade and drive some more and upgrade some more!

so this is my Basic parts list!

New 2wd chassis (cuz I broke mine in half)
New Aluminum Castors
New Aluminum Carriers
New 17mm conversion
New Brushless Combo
Aluminum tranny case
New motor gards
Aluminum bulk head
RPM front bumper
RPM Arms

Bajr Body
Proline Wing
HPI wing mount

Thats all i can think of at the moment!

**sliding_josh** · 07-29-2010 12:38 AM

Dyed the new chassis! oh yeah................

I got my box in from Tower H! and did a vid on it too ill post that up soon!

And already put the truck back together to do some testing with my new Dynamite Fuze brushless combo!

**sliding_josh** · 07-29-2010 12:53 AM

I went to my LHS and picked up like couple hundred dollars worth of stuff! but not just for the Bajr build but for my other trucks as well, I have six!

It doesnt help that the LHS is like for real 5mins from my house i could walk there if i wanted too! But my Lazy A double SS aint gunna do it!

I picked up a rear RPM skid cuz I snaped the stock one. and put on some new RPM arms cuz i noticed one was cracked.

I also picked up a set of red anodized tie rods, I had the silver ones on there, I thought they would look a lil better cuz I already had the red Castors and Carriors,

**rustler 007** · 07-30-2010 04:50 PM
