it's a pull start only. it's definately live axle! as u can see i put bigger wheels on it. it goes around 50mph, and gets there pretty quick! needs nothing, the shocks are tired in the front but have two new ones just didn't put them on. brake is the good old band brake..so don't expect to stop on a dime lol. im more interested in ur baja, want more of a trail ride, but then something i can put around the park. hope it's cool?
