In the last episode I've showed off my HPI Baja and gave some info on the upgrades I run. Today I'm trying out a few new things: the Kraken Class 1 cage is not supposed to fit with the Pro-Line Baja Bug body, and I want to know if I can make it fit. The Pro-Line Beetle body I have has seen some better days. There's a crack going on in the rear section, where that boxer engine is molded in. I never really liked that part, so that is going to get hacked off first. There's also a lot of scuffmarks and scratches on the body, and apart from restoring the shell to it's original shine, I'm also going to touch up the paint and add more detail to it.

I love the early beach bug VolksWagens,and how some of those Beetles evolved into full-blooded desert racers, ready for the Baja 1000. I explain how in a few simple steps you can create just that look for your HPI Baja, turning it into a mean 5th scale classic.

My Baja started out as the SS kit version, and has been quite heavily modified over the years. I purchased the car in 2008, and spent lots of time to get it to the point where it is today. A variety of upgrades are in place, made by companies like Kraken, Gabe Brown Engineering, Turtle Racing, DarkSoul and of course HemiStorm.

I explain which upgrades I installed where, show you some real one off modifications like the GBE Endbleed pipe that I'm fitting, and show a few pictures of what my car has looked like over the years. The HPI Baja was my first 5th scale RC, and I've gotten to know a tremendous amount of people through the forums. Some people have become real close friends of mine.
