My very first Hot Wheels model ever was also a Baja Bug - it is a ragtop splitty with an internal roll cage and Real Rider wheels (real rubber tyres). I bought it in 1982 at the OK Bazaars for R 1.50 (I think that was about two weeks' pocket money at the time). Still have it today.. but it has multiplied over the years!

Why thank you Dutch.... I didn't realise that rust was detailing....

Any reason why someone would not be able to fit reduction boxes in a baja ?
Used to see a baja with reduction boxes down at Sodwana occasionally. I think it came from GP.
It looked great, but the guy had raised the front by just jacking up the suspension as high as it could go - didn't look like it would work too well - be continually bottoming out? Not sure.
but anyway - if you could get raised spindles (Trekker/Thing spindles?) it would be a monster off road. The only real issues I had with a baja off road (and sometimes on-road!) was a lack of ground clearance. Reduction boxes / raised spindles would fix that in a jiff.
What suspension mods do you need to do to get that kind of lift? Do the guys go full A arm or are they modded spindles front and rgb's on the rear.
Gearing mods must also be hectic to turn those wheels.
thread, keep it warm!
