HUGE 1/5th scale gasoline powered buggy
The innovative design of the Baja 5B includes a rigid 4mm aluminum alloy chassis for extreme durability. The fully adjustable suspension uses four "Hyper Adjust Piston" externally adjustable aluminum shocks that have 5 dampening settings and can be adjusted without removing the shocks. A Viscous Torque Control differential delivers the power to the rear wheels smoothly and uses hardened metal throughout the drivetrain for reliable performance. Special 3-piece beadlock wheels are included, so no glue is used to mount the tires, which makes changing the sticky HPI Dirt Buster tires quick and easy.
Power comes from a massive 23cc gasoline engine with plenty of power to make the HPI Baja 5B feel as quick and nimble as a 1/10 th scale buggy. The Baja 5B runs for more than 30 minutes on a single tank of gas, and refueling with gasoline costs a fraction of nitro hobby fuel. The gasoline engine includes a pullstarter, primer, choke, kill switch and a high performance dual element foam air filter.
The Baja 5B, a giant Ready-to-Run 1/5 th scale off-road buggy that is nearly 32" in length! The big size allows the Baja 5B to go where smaller buggies can’t, and the driving experience is as close as you can get to the real thing. The double wishbone suspension with long travel aluminum shocks gives superior Off-Road capability. The HPI Baja 5B's narrow chassis design allows for super long suspension arms which results in smooth damping characteristics and long suspension travel.
