Default Hi everyone!

I've been a member here for while but never really introduced myself properly!

It all started with a '07 Baja Reaction 150. (L4VM style) (2-bolt valve cover)
It didn't run and the guy we purchased it from had never been able to get it running.
It was missing the fan and shroud for the fan.
It had 5 broken wires in the harness from the ignition switch right where it goes into the frame.
It needed a new battery.
It needed a new air cleaner assembly.
The lower part of the seat was shot.
The starter was shot.
We fixed the wires and put a used starter on it and it ran!
But then it would only idle. Found out I needed to adjust the valves.
After that it was a lot of fun!
Since then it has been slowly, but steadily improved.

But who can stop with just one?
So we picked up a very used little Roketa GK-17 for my son.
It hadn't run in 3 years, had no rollcage/brushguard, paint faded from red to Pepto Bismol pink.
We got it running with surprisingly little work.
It also smoked like a freight train.
Since last fall it has been undergoing major engine overhaul, now we are into chassis overhaul.

Somewhere in between this we also found a Yerf 3206 with a broken rear axle.
Got a Buggy Depot Heavy duty axle kit. (Factory Defective on sale)(Warped)
I have learned a lot about the Yerf upgrades from CKAU, KLIFF and all the other Yerf fanatics on here and other sites.
I really appreciate you guys doing the R&D on the mods so I don't have to learn it all for myself. ( I'm liking the shock testing T3Beatz is doing for me right now!)

Oh, and I almost forgot about the Crossfire needing engine rebuild out back!
