"The HPI Baja: the original, and still the best!" HPI I remember first seeing the baja 5b in 2008. Here we are in 2023 and this thing is still pure joy :) Hope you all enjoy the video !
Loved mine. Going to have to get another one now that they re-released them. Just wish they had that same pipe. I liked how light it was and protected vs the larger tuned pipes.
the 23cc has been great on these if you go to 30cc the car stability is gonne digg harder spins faster and jumps not so good can go faster whit a 23cc most time love tis car 2
I have one that is mint as well. Back in 2011 I was President of the more money than brains club. Anyway I started buy every hop up part from all the manufacturers like Turtle Racing and Fast Eddy. I stopped counting when I passed 4K at Dave’s Motor sports. My buggy has everything from a slipper clutch to carbon fiber brakes. The only part that is stock is the motor. I did add a tuned pipe to it however. I bought so much stuff for that buggy. I got several sets of tires and engine parts but sadly I have never used any of it.
I can relate, too much money and no time to enjoy it. Mine is a Rovan from 2014, I used it maybe 4 times, I took it apart last week, inspected and cleaned it and put it back in shape to run it now that I have dome time.
I have the Baja 5b with the Kraken body, very well used, 5 years ago it just stopped running, going through all the normal routines to get it up and running, seems the issue is in the ignition system, got it to run today for like 30 seconds, getting close, hopefully I’ll have some fun tomorrow. Have a Losi 5t Gen 1, and a Kraken Vekta, the Baja is by far my fav.
