The Latest Spec Baja Buggy!
When the designers at HPI released the original
Baja buggy to the public, we didn't realize the absolute storm of
popularity it would enjoy. Racers everywhere loved it, reviews from all
over the world absolutley glowed with enthusiasm, shops ran out of stock
and brand new companies sprung up to make wild hop-ups for this
one-of-a-kind machine. We had just as much fun tracking all the praise
as we did for the Savage monster truck! Most encouraging of all, though,
we heard back from customers everywhere about how much they enjoy their
Baja, which is the best thing we could possibly expect.
After all that, you'll understand that when it comes to
updating such a legendary car, you can't mess with the magic too much:
we wanted to give our fans more of the same, without going overboard. It
was a tricky subject, but we're sure we got it right on the money.
The HPI Baja: the original, and still the best!
The Baja 5B 2.0 gives you more speed, better
acceleration, improved handling and THREE fantastic new looks! The
awesome gray-anodized look of the Baja 5T truck comes to the buggy, with
all of the main aluminum parts now anodized a cool, sleek gunmetal
color. The body is now available in three fantastic new designs: bright
red, cool blue and subdued gray.
The Baja 5B is big, but coming as a "Ready To Run" car and powered by
standard gasoline it can't be easier to get ready for action.
Everything is included in the kit - 1. Preassembled Baja 5B chassis, 2.
Prepainted Baja body shell, 3. Preinstalled high quality 2.4 radio gear
with built in fail safe, 6V receiver pack and charger. 4. Pre installed
23cc gasoline engine providing plenty of power. All you need to do is
fill up with standard gasoline and some oil, and off you go!
New Bodyshell Colors
The tough bodyshell is now available in three all-new paint
schemes: subdued gray, hot red and cool blue! These are pre-painted,
pre-trimmed bodies that are ready to go right out of the box: no prep
work needed! With their 2mm thick polycarbonate moulded construction
they will last for a very long time!!
Revised 23cc Engine
The new engine fitted in the Baja 5B 2.0 features an updated
cylinder that provides 10% extra power! When combined with the High
Flow Muffler and 8000 RPM clutch, you'll experience much faster top
speeds, better acceleration and more power overall
High Flow Muffler
The High Flow Muffler from the Baja 5T is a much larger
capacity design than the old standard muffler, and is tuned to give you
more horsepower on the track. It sounds fantastic, too! When the Baja 5B
2.0 is ripping past the pits, you will know it!
8000 RPM Clutch
Formerly an option part, the high performance 8000 RPM
Clutch from the Baja SS and 5T is used to give you more punch off the
line. Lightweight clutch shoes and a strong heavy-duty spring are the
integral parts of this unit, and you will feel the power out of the
turns.
VVC/HD Shock
Absorbers
These are the same damper units that equip the Baja SS and
Baja 5T, and are now standard parts for the 5B 2.0 - these are
oil-filled, externally adjustable coilover shocks for fantastic
performance and heavy-duty action! Thick shock shafts provide security
from crashes, threaded shock bodies allow instant ride height changes,
and the externally adjustable design is tailor-made for trackside
tuning.
Torx T27 Engine Screws
The engine now features tough Torx T27 screws to make
maintenance and rebuilds less of a chore. Torx screws are easier to work
with and provide less wear and tear on tools and screws, making them
the ideal screw option for a Baja buggy engine!
Gunmetal Anodizing
The v2.0 update includes a total reworking of all the
aluminum parts of the Baja buggy, from the chassis to the spring adjust
collars! The very cool gunmetal look gives the Baja 5B 2.0 the 'race'
look, and it's easy to add a bit of bling with Baja SS or original 5B
colour parts.
Great New Look
Topping off the gunmetal monocoque chassis are the new
pre-painted bodyshells provided with the Baja 5B 2.0 - choose from three
new main colors: a racy red, awesome blue or stealthy gray! Each
design is totally new and unique, and would cost you a fortune if you
were to get it custom-painted on a clear bodyshell! Hit the track or
your bashing field in style!
