HPI 1/5 Baja 5B SS Kit w/Clear Body (26cc Gasoline Engine)
jason mcclure - Rating: 5 of 5 Stars! Verified Owner Monday, October 13, 2008
well I have had it for a while now and still love it . it hard to keep rear tire in good shape they where out fast I even bought some of hostile hobby hard mx tires they lasting a little bite longer.I will buy a front brake kit for it. I still like not having to tune the motor but once .and it handles great for it size just imagine a really big 1/10 scale race buggy and that's what it is like.It jumps great after you learn how to set up for it first because you cant control it in the air like smaller cars. I have broken the front wheel off of it but all it takes is a 7mm e-clip snap it back on and your ready to rock again. It's made that way to keep it from braking something more important. All in all it's the best rc model I have and ive got alot of them any thing from t-maxxs to savages - lst 2 -jammin x1-crt,hyper 8.5- firehammer-ofna ultra mbx- custom made rock crawlers-hpi rs4 drift version-losi micro t - jato 3.3 -rc 10 gt 2 and of coarse the baja 5b ss. And in my opinion Its the best worth every penny -//- TRULY A AWSOME CAR. handles great to be as big as it is.the 26 cc engine is great plenty of power .the kit goes together fairly easy it will take about 10-20 hours to put together but is fun I love to build my own cars and this was only my third kit that I,ve built .theres only two upgrades that I see that I will need thats a pull start cover and some new rear tires . the stock tires dont last long at all I have only driven mine three times on dirt and the knobies are already riping off but that comes with alot of power that the engine makes. you will get between 40-60 minuets of run time out of a tank of fuel and not have to constantly tune the engine like nitro's. the tuned pipe that comes in the kit is nice and is very loud it sounds like a small mx bike. and only having to pay $4.00 a gallon for fuel insted of $30 for nitro is reall nice dont get me wrong I love my nitro cars and trucks but I believe this one will be used alot more. If you can afford it buy it you will not be dissapointed. also by the way make sure to get the hpi 3000 mah hump pack or one that is larger
