i saw the part at the bottom for a tuned pipe for 29.99 with the purchase of the buggy. did you pick one of those up also? If not that would be one of the first upgrades to look for when you are looking for more power from these 2 strokes.

ive wanted one for a realy long time, but didnt want to spend the 1100+ for a kit that you build (granted i wouldnt mind building one to learn from it) but still 1100 is nuts...then i found these king motors baja's for half the price, and literally every part is interchangeable with the hpi baja 5b (the 1100 dollar dude) so you cant go wrong there

surprisingly they do....people launch them up over 10 feet in the air, and come down just fine

got my baja yesterday. and snapped a few pics right out of the box. this thing is huge, i had some setup to do to it lastnite, and charge the batteries for 10 hours before any play time. got it out today after work, and fired her up. wow. instant smile on my face when it popped to life. nice and loud, sounds like a 125cc dirtbike. haha, and its insanely fast. but its quickness/fastness (if fastness is a word) came with a price. i was whipping shitties and donuts on some gravel, heard a clunk and the motor revved way fast...grenaded the rear differential......some other guys have had this problem, and wrote the seller on ebay and got brand new differentials for free. so thats what i did, and i hope he fixes the problem. if not it comes with a 30 day money back gurantee....
