Stephoon's 5B
Hi guys, name ist Stephen and new to the Baja scene. Thanks to homer and his relentless pursuit to get me in the big scales and some arm twisting from my local, i present to you my new 5B Baja. Its only got the 23cc in it but it will all change soon.
Already scored a Dom pipe thanks to my mate Homer and new bling wheels and bowties thanks to Harlan from The Hobby Shed.
Will be going into the racing scene with homer and his mates as i always wanted to race offroads but not with that tamiya TNX i had. Im so over the nitro thing and this is my new addiction. Here some pics of it already tried and tested at an open section of land close to my place.

Hi mate welcome to the dark side. +1 for the Outerwears on the filter, and on the pull start if you don't have one already, it'll prolong its life.
And slap on that DOM mate, you notice the low end grunt instantly
Have fun, and enjoy.

HA! Onya Mark. I didnt even take a picture of it before i usd it. Ill be copying that pic to my collection and remind me when it was still new.
Thanks for the very warm welcome boys. Now that im already on the darkside as most of you say, ill be sticking to Homer like a leech and see what i can learn off him ASAP. And i want to see if my driving skills will be upto scratch this time off road.
First meet ill do will be at Redhead next Sunday. Hopefully Homer can come and Brendan, Kevin and Shane can make it too.
I hate credit cards, thats what caused me to go nearly bankrupt and worst thing was it was the missus and i dont even have one of my own.
See you guys on a race track soon!

Holy Jebus mother of Crap!
The thing freaken Baja flies now if it had wings!
Homer your a freaken legend!
Was not expecting how much spray it had off the wheels after installing that dom pipe. Me and homer was standing behind it including my ute and pulled the throttle and i was expecting lag from the start like the standard pipe had and i was so dumbassly mistaken. Sprayed me and Hommer and my ute with rocks and crap and ihad to back off quick before it shot off the main road and kill a car or something.
23cc stock with a dom pipe is the DA SHIZZ! Im so itching to go racing now!
Dean, your not wrong there mate. My wallet will get a workout for sure and will be going on a diet soon. But as what Hommer said, this thing will be 95% race use so ill be listening to Hommer on what to get and hes guided me on the right way.Last edited by stephoon; 01-08-2009 at 06:09 PM.
