28.5cc CAT 5 Race Ported GP290 version 2 Chrome Engine Upgrade / Motor Swap - With this engine option, we remove your stock engine and replace it with the CAT 5 Mfg Race Ported GP290.  This engine has had the port timing of the intake and exhaust ports adjusted to get more horsepower and higher RPM's than a stock GP290.  The transfer ports have been enlarged and reshaped to allow for better delivery of fuel / air mixture to the combustion chamber.  The top of the piston has been modified to resist lean siezures. This engine is rated at 4.25 hp.  This is an excellent motor option for the person who really likes to go fast.  (This engine is also available with an optional lightened piston.

This motor that features a Zenoah 36mm 4-bolt cylinder mounted onto the F270 crankcase. The Zenoah cylinder is used on this motor due to the high quality cylinder plating and the F270 crankcase is used because of it's large transfer port openings.  The cylinder ports have been modified, reshaped, and enlarged for greater performance. The cylinder and crankcase have been port-match machined for optimal fuel / air delivery.   This allows for larger transfer ports for smoother delivery of fuel & air to the combustion chamber. This engine has a 2mm stroker crankshaft.  The top of the piston has been turned down & smoothed on a lathe for proper squish clearance at TDC without stacking gaskets.  The ring groove has been modified (releaved) to resist lean seizures due to piston head expansion.  This motor is rated at 4.5+ HP. This engine has brutal bottom-end torque with good top RPM.  Engine comes with WT-668 carb and clutch with 8,000 RPM spring.  ***Due to the high compression of this engine, you MUST use 91+ octane gasoline or racing fuel up to 116 octane.***

From HPI Racing is the Baja 5T, a ready-to-run (RTR)  with 2.4 Radio 1/5th scale off-road truck that expands on the award-winning Baja 5B family. 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... painted, mounted, pre-applied racing decals and tinted windows. Factor in the front skid plate bumper, Desert Buster tires 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.

 

Keeping the body securely attached is a completely new body mounting system with tough nylon construction, 8 mounting points to distribute the stress on the body, and fully adjustable for compatibility. A front skid plate bumper protects the truck on big jumps, now with 4 headlights for realistic desert truck looks. A molded nylon rear spoiler is included for off-road stability, with an integrated rear body brace for extra strength. The sides of the truck are protected by new guards that deflect dirt and debris away from the chassis. The engine also receives dirt guards on both sides for extra protection.

   

   

But the Baja 5T goes way beyond looks, under the skin is a tough truck with the power to mow down anything in its path. Power comes from a massive 26cc gasoline engine, delivering rock solid performance, easy tuning and run times of more than 30 minutes on a single tank. The high performance 8,000 RPM clutch and new high flow muffler give the Baja 5T the power to launch with a roost of desert dirt on the way to a screaming top speed of more than 40 MPH.

 

The included TF-10 radio system is FM for excellent range and includes an adjustable failsafe system for extra protection. The SFL-10MG2 steering servo is a massive unit for quick steering and lots of torque. Standard equipment includes a new higher capacity 3000mah NiMH rechargeable receiver pack and an AC charger. The radio system is protected by a sealed housing with an external charging jack, and both servos are water resistant designs that allow the Baja 5T to be driven in extreme off-road conditions.

 

For improved handling, the Baja 5T rear shock tower has been modified for increased rear suspension travel. All four shock absorbers have thick diameter shafts for extra durability. The VVC/HD shocks are tuned for smooth suspension dampening to help soak up the desert terrain. The innovative design of the Baja 5T includes a rigid 4mm aluminum alloy chassis for extreme durability.

 

So get ready to take on the desert with the giant new 1/5th scale Baja 5T truck. It's got the look, it's got the power, and it's built tough to take the punishment of off-road action.
