High Performance, Aggressive Desert Truck!
With its sleek black color scheme, the Baja 5T racing truck has a look that is meaner, more aggressive and ready for action! The design has all the hallmarks of an instant classic, while underneath the body HPI designers have been busy with the details of updated engine!
The engine has all the same features as the original Fuelie 26, but now it’s got a bit more power, and all of the standard and option engine parts from the previous engine will also bolt right on, so it’s easy to maintain and upgrade! With the Baja 5T you get aggressive desert truck looks, high performance new features, and compatibility with many of the existing Baja 5B spare parts and option parts, wrapped up in a RTR package that gets you running in just a few minutes.
The Baja 5T was inspired by the latest generation of desert trucks that compete in the world famous Baja 1000 race in Mexico. The body was built for a perfect fit on the Baja 5T chassis, with sculpted fenders, scoops, louvers, and an integrated roll cage for authentic desert-tough looks. In true HPI RTR form, the body is completely ready to go right out the box.... Factor in the front skid plate bumper, Desert Buster tyres mounted on Outlaw truck wheels with real bead locks, and you've got a truck that looks like it just rolled off the starting line in Ensenada.
