helix re-gear/ Baja brake lines / Baja reverse
The Helix is geared way too high for our track. My baja is killing them, and they want to re-gear.
Which is more effective? Change rollers in clutch or change sprocket? I can pickup a rear sprocket just up the street for about $10 and drill the 4 mounting holes myself. Also, I need brake lines for the baja. The 2 front ones are leaking under pressure. Should I go direct to baja? I have no reverse, as in no handle (could swap out the parking brake though), no cable (same story) and basically nothing at the engine, other than a rubber grommet that goes into the tranny. On our helix, there is a stud sticking out that twists to change gears, but not on the baja, so I don't know what I'm missing. JimD

Also, if anyone has a write-up or something on changing the rollers, please point me to it. I saw one online at spiderboxperformance, but the link was dead. If it's easier to change the rollers, I may keep a variety on hand for different track types.

Where exactly are you located? If you are close I may be able to help. Have you found any good place to ride around you? I'm in Skiatook.

Baja is actually priced better on their parts than most of their resellers. Sometimes, significantly.
The Helix has an internal reverse mechanism vs the baja's external planetary set. The cable goes to a lever at the output area of the tranny and operates a rod that sets the forward vs reverse. At least, that is how ours was set up. The American Sportworks machines are the only ones I have seen with that internal reverse so far.

Yeah we were schedule to go to the National Buggy Bash in Parkhills Mo. the end of June, but got a surgery scheduled instead. Sad thing is I've just about got 2 of our 3 250's lined out and the 3rd one should be up and running in the next few weeks. Where is Gruber at?

We went down last week and walked a good portion of it. Mostly wooded area, but some good open spaces, rock crawling, and a very large mud area that was hard-caked when I was there. I'm sure a bit of rain and its a slop-fest. I envision much winching.
