Upgrading a new stock DB30 Mini Baja

Green Jelly · 08-10-2008, 06:09 PM

So I've just purchased a brand new DB30 Mini Baja with a 2.5HP 97cc engine on it. It wasn't quite fast enough for me, my cousin could keep up with it running down the sidewalk. :( I really would like to purchase a kit or a few parts to make the bike a lot faster, and able to climb small hills.

I've read a couple good reviews about 6.5 horsepower engines, and need some clarifications on how well they mount onto the DB30. I'm interested in buying the one from this site: Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices

Do I need to do any drilling, cutting, welding? Also I'd like to get more torque to climb hills and such. I've read that buying a high sprocketed gear could help...Could anyone point me in the right direction to purchase a nice one!

Thanks,

Green Jelly.

Thanks, I've seen that thread and was wondering if that guy still had any in stock.

I still need to get 5 posts to post in it to ask! Har

You'd be amazed with the performance of the 6.5 engine. I sent him a PM to let him know you might be interested in the kit.

Ah, I'll most def be buying a 6.5 engine!

I took my DB30 to a moderate trail, took it up minor hills going full speed, barely made it to the top, going down was fun then through, and through the rocky parts of the trail it slowed down. Drove it through some mud puddles on the trail too, and got sprayed hehe. I really hope the 6.5 will make trailing a lot more fun on this little thing. :)

I'll have to post a nice video of me trailing on it once I get the bigger engine.
