Kit builders… we know that you like to build your own cars from scratch, so HPI Racing now has a high performance kit version of the popular Baja 5B 1/5th scale gas powered buggy. The Baja 5B SS comes as an unassembled kit with a complete instruction manual so you can take you time and enjoy the build-up process. And in the tradition of HPI SS kits, it also comes with a huge list of high performance hop-up parts you won’t find on the RTR version.
For scorching power, a larger 26cc engine that pumps out more horsepower and torque than the standard 23cc engine. A new aluminum tuned pipe and aluminum tube header help extract maximum power from the engine. A new clutch launches at a screaming 8,000 RPM for dirt roosting acceleration from a standing start. The combination of the engine, exhaust and clutch make the Baja 5B SS significantly faster than the standard RTR Baja 5B.
