HPI BAJA OVERVIEW

The Hpi Baja is a off road radio control enthusiast dream or your partners biggest nightmare (as it is for my wife).
This innovative creation by Hpi design engineers has proven itself to be a well-designed 1:5 scale off-road RC. The Hpi Baja 5B measures an intimidating 817mm Long X 480mm Wide X 255mm High and weighs a staggering 9.5Kg. To help this huge r/c buggy tear up any terrain you put underneath it they have a 23cc 2 stroke gas engine in the 5B and the bigger 26cc in the 5B SS and 5T models.
There are no problems when it comes to stopping either the two disc ventilated brake system and built-in fail safe will bring your buggy to a quick stop. The Baja drive train is made of hardened steel so pushing the throttle full speed ahead won't have you crying from a ripped up differential. The front and rear suspension are fully adjustable also give you the flexibility of changing your settings depending on your terrain.
The models currently available are The Hpi Baja 5B 2.0, 5T, 5SC which are the ready to run versions, Also available are the 5Bss and the 5SCss which are the kit versions and you will have to assemble them yourself, they also require you to purchase a radio, receiver, battery and throttle servo the upside to the SS kits are that there are many extra hop ups included in the kit that are not included with the ready to run versions.
