HPI103859FR Baja 5B RTR 1/5 Scale Gas Buggy with 2.4 Ghz Radio by HPI Racing

HPI makes it so easy for beginners to get into 1/5 scale! Just open the box, charge up the battery, add pre-mixed fuel and go! The Baja 5B 2.0 is completely pre-built and ready to go right out of the box! Everything is assembled and tuned for you by professionals - engine connections, shocks and more are perfect before you even open the kit so you don not have to do a thing to get going fast!

HPI upgraded to a new 2.4GHz radio system that makes running your Baja safer and more enjoyable than ever. No need to worry about radio conflicts, crystals, or radio interference, this Baja is equipped with the latest Spread Spectrum radio technology that delivers worry-free driving. The heavy-duty steering servo now includes tough metal gears and an aluminum steering arm for extra durability. A powerful sub-C type 6-volt receiver pack powers the servos for confidence and longevity. You will find that many Baja bashers do not find a need to upgrade the radio system, as it is already perfect for the task!

Buggy Features:
New Standard Parts- The Baja 5B 2.0 has several great new features and standard parts, many of them taken right off the kit-only SS version and the Baja 5T truck! Check out all the fantastic updates!

New Body Colors- The tough body is available in three all-new paint schemes: subdued gray, hot red and cool blue! These painted and trimmed, ready to go right out of the box. With their 2mm thick polycarbonate molded construction, they will last for a very long time!

Revised 23cc Engine- The new engine features an updated cylinder that provides 10 percent extra power! When combined with the High Flow Muffler and 8000 RPM clutch, you will experience much faster top speeds, better acceleration and more power!

High-flow Muffler- The High-Flow Muffler from the Baja 5T is a larger capacity design than the old standard muffler, and is tuned to give more horsepower on the track. It sounds fantastic, too! When the Baja 5B 2.0 is ripping past the pits, you will know it!

8000 RPM Clutch- Formerly an optiont, the high performance 8000 RPM Clutch from the Baja SS and ST is gives you more punch off the line. Lightweight clutch shoes and a strong heavy-duty spring are the integral parts of this unit, and you will feel the power out of the turns.

VVC/HD Shock Absorbers- These are the same damper units that equip the Baja SS and Baja 5T, and are now standard parts for the 5B 2.0. These are oil-filled, externally-adjustable coil-over shocks for fantastic performance and heavy-duty action! Thick shock shafts provide security from crashes, threaded shock bodies allow instant ride height changes, and the externally adjustable design is tailor-made for trackside tuning.

Torx T27 Engine Screws- The engine now features tough Torx T27 screws to make maintenance and rebuilds less of a chore. Torx screws are easier to work with and provide less wear and tear on tools and screws, making them the ideal screw option for a Baja buggy engine!

Gunmetal Anodizing- The v2.0 includes a total reworking of all the aluminum parts of the Baja buggy, from the chassis to the spring adjust collars! The very cool gunmetal-look gives the Baja 5B 2.0 the race look, and easy to add a bit of bling with Baja SS or original 5B color parts.

Fantastic Scale Appearance- From the first glance, the Baja buggy looks just like the sand rails and desert racers you can see racing across the Sonora in Baja California, or blasting around the sands dunes of the American Southwest. Nothing else in the RC world comes close! From the bumper and front suspension, to the cockpit and roll cage, all the way to the wing and rear bumper, in the looks department, the HPI Baja is second to none.

Extremely Durable- HPI has always been known for its rugged cars and trucks, starting with the earliest touring cars and carrying on with monster trucks and large-scale machines. The Baja 5B 2.0 uses the same suspension components as the Baja SS and 5T, so you know you have a quality buggy in your hands. While the ones that came after the original Baja use cheap plastics and questionable methods to make their kits, the original is still going strong with original designs and compounds to keep you going, no matter what you put your Baja through!

Monocoque Chassis- Still a unique item among the large-scale racing crowd, the Baja 5B 2.0 continues to use the unique Baja monocoque aluminum chassis formed from strong 6061 aircraft aluminum for light weight and strength. It is bent into shape with computer precision to make it an extra-rigid and super-strong platform for the engine, suspension and all other components of the Baja.

Long Travel Suspension- For confidence-inspiring traction and control on any type of surface, the Baja 5B 2.0 uses the amazing long-travel suspension used for all the kits in the Baja series. Extra-Iong oil-filled shock absorbers and durable suspension arms connect via specially tuned suspension geometry to give not only a fantastic look and style to the Baja buggy, but amazing versatility, tuning potential and great handling!

Viscous Torque Differential- The unique Viscous Torque Diff in the Baja series delivers power smoothly to the rear wheels. It is perfect for most purposes already, but the diff can be tuned with different diff greases to suit any driving style or track. Hardened metal is used throughout the diff for reliable performance in all conditions.

Dual Vented Disc Brake- To bring something the size and speed of the Baja buggy to a safe and controlled stop, the brakes need to be extra-strong, reliable and foolproof. It uses two steel plates for brake discs, both of which are drilled for lightness. To keep the discs cool under pressure, a fan-shaped spacer is used to blast rotating air through the vent holes drilled in each disc.

Long Wheelbase- In addition to everything else that makes the Baja 5B 2.0 handle great, its long wheelbase is ideal for racing on large tracks designed for 1/5th scale vehicles, or just playing in big fields. The Baja 5B 2.0 is more stable over jumps and rough ground than other large-scale cars, a tribute to its great suspension design and longer wheelbase.

Electronic Failsafe- Nitro racers have known for a long time that having a working failsafe system is important for those just in case moments - some unforeseen event that could make their car go out of control. With a buggy as big as the Baja (over 800mm long and 9.5kg in weight!), this is even more important! The Baja 5B 2.0 uses the same reliable electronic failsafe as all other Baja RTR kits. The adjustable failsafe setting ensures that should your Baja 5B 2.0 lose radio signal, instead of flying out of control it will come to a safe and controlled stop! Nothing like peace of mind!

AII-Terrain tires and Beadlock Wheels- To allow the Baja buggies to go anywhere, HPI uses tires ideally suited for off-road conditions. Spiked rear tires and dash-style front tires provide the perfect amount of traction and control on nearly all dirt, gravel and grass surfaces. The Dirt Buster S Compound rear tires use a versatile square pin design that sheds mud and gets you the grip you need for massive top speed runs, while the Dirt Buster rib tires provide the direction and steering necessary for pinpoint accuracy on the track.

Sealed Radio Box- We know that most off-roaders love to blast through dirt, mud, water and more, so HPI protects the electronics of the Baja as much as possible with a sealed radio box. In addition to being under the body to protect from splashes, the radio box uses rubber plugs to provide access to the receiver battery and radio crystal, so you do not need to unscrew anything to get to these often-accessed items. If you do need to remove it, it is a simple matter of a few clips to take it out - no tools necessary!

High Capacity Fuel Tank with Clunk- The 700cc fuel tank takes pre-mixed 2-stroke fuel for run times of 45 minutes or more, and the handy clunk inside allows you to get upside down and not worry about the engine cutting out.

Adjustable Rear Wing- For most Baja buggy owners, the rear wing is something that is never touched until the car needs to be picked up or flipped over. Racers, though, are a different matter. Racers like to tune things and play around with settings to get a little extra edge. So for the racers, we made the rear wing of the Baja adjustable so you can get a bit of extra downforce on small tracks, or lower the wing a bit for more speed on big tracks.

Hard Plastic Skid Plates- With tough nylon skid plates front and rear, the chassis of the Baja 5B 2.0 is protected from the inevitable hard landings, crashes and more that you will be sure to encounter while you are running your Baja buggy. The skid plates are easily replaced, and are a much cheaper alternative than replacing the aluminum chassis or motor plate, so you will not be afraid to pull off those crazy jumps with your Baja!

Complete Set of Ball Bearings- Finally, a full set of high-quality ball bearings are used throughout the drivetrain for increased efficiency and long run-times. Ball bearings help keep maintenance to a minimum so you can just get out and run your Baja!
