Big model fans, we've heard you. The one and only HPI Baja 5B is back and ready for you to customize from head to toe. The HPI SBK (Self Build Kits) range sees the addition of not one, but two 1/5th scale models. Large-scale enthusiasts will be super excited to build their own 1/5th thermal Buggy with the HPI Baja 5B SBK.
When we released the very first HPI Baja 5B, 1/5th-scale RC models were very expensive and difficult to approach, even for the discerning modeler. By using cutting-edge design and solid parts, HPI has opened up 1/5 scale models to a new fringe of modellers and ushered in a new era of XXL modelling.
Now you can build and fly the legend again! Enjoy the stimulating experience of building an RC model that will ultimately be over 80cm long and weigh in at just under 10kg. All you have to do is install your own internal combustion engine and electronics in the HPI Baja 5B construction process, and you're ready for any adventure.
With extra-strong transmission parts like the viscous torque differential, ultra-durable composite spur gear with internal damping, and an all-metal transmission, the HPI Baja 5B is ready for your 23-32cc 2-stroke engine so you can discover the joy of thermal modeling, up to 30 minutes of autonomy!
The HPI Baja 5B is also equipped with extra-large, super-strong suspension parts, offering HPI's impressive strength! With its molded composite suspension, the fruit of our designers' experience, extra-long adjustable HD shocks and massive, high-impact 3-piece nylon wheels, the Baja 5B is ready to launch at full speed on any off-road circuit!
The 4 mm-thick 6061 aluminum monocoque chassis gives the HPI Baja 5B the classic desert-racing buggy look. Shaped by bending for maximum strength, the chassis provides mounting points for engine and suspension, forming the backbone of the car. Precise steering is provided by a double-crank rack and pinion and a cam-type servo-saver. The aluminum parts are anodized in gunmetal color, and the classic Baja Desert Racer transparent polycarbonate body is included in the SBK kit, ready to wear your colors!
The Baja 5B SBK is an excellent addition to your HPI collection, and a fabulous introduction to large-scale buggies!
