10 hp is about right for the horsepower rating of a stock gy6,150. The Baja is not a bad buggy for the price You get what you pay for. You can spend more and geta little more quality but the baja is not bad. The rate of component failure in the baja is about the same as with most of the major brands out there. Most all are made from about the same quality range parts
What really makes the difference, not the quality of the buggy itself, but rather the dealer and factory support!. That's where that initial extra cost of some of the major brands goes to. Most of the complaints are not about the baja buggy itself, Rather it's the crappy "after the sell" attitude that Pepboys takes in regards to warranty issues. Biggest problem is sloppy assembly by Pepboys, IE. lose nuts/bolts, things not set up and adjusted properly. A lot of warranty issues have been caused by sloppy prep work. Complain to Pepboys? they tell you they only sell them,you will need to contact Baja for warranty issues. Baja tells you it is not a factory defect but improper assembly and go talk to the seller/ dealer. Not an uncommon scenario. In the long run' the extra expense is worth it to deal with a dedicated buggy dealer, not someone who does this as a sideline.
