The Baja 5T
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 in your choice of black or white, 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.
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.
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.
Baja 5T-1 Truck Body
Tough 2mm polycarbonate Baja 5T-1 desert truck body. Pre-painted, pre-trimmed with body post holes, pre-applied racing decals and clear tinted windows.
VVC/HD Shock Set
Oil-filled coilover shock set with large diameter shock shafts for increased durability, 16 hole rear piston with sealing ring for consistent damping, fully adjustable design for tuning options.
Extended Roll Cage
Extra bracing for durability, extended upper roll cage for spark plug protection.
Outlaw Truck Wheels
8-hole design, tough nylon construction, authentic bead-locks for durability and tuning options. Large diameter truck tires for realistic looks. Heavy duty rubber compound and thicker carcass for extra durability.
Fuelie 26 Engine (26cc)
26cc engine for more power, more torque, and more speed than 23cc engines. Equipped with a convenient pullstarter for quick and easy starting. A high capacity dual-element air filter keeps the engine running clean even in grueling off-road conditions, quick-change design for easy maintenance. Air cooled with built-in fan for consistent running temperatures. Fully adjustable carburetor with primer and kill switch. Now constructed using Torx screws for extra durability and easier maintenance, Torx T-27 wrench included.
Gasoline powered for low-cost operation compared to nitro fuel, easier to tune and more consistent than nitro engines. More than 30 minutes of run-time per tank.
All Metal Transmission Gears
With all that power on tap from the Fuelie 26 engine, you need incredible drivetrain durability for all those difficult off-road conditions that you'll be tackling with your Baja 5T - and that's exactly what you get with these all metal transmission gears!
Dirt Guard
The sides of the truck are protected by new guards that deflect dirt and debris away from the chassis which will not only help keep cleaning and maintenance down but will also help to lower wear and tear on the components. The engine also receives dirt guards on both sides for extra protection.
High Quality Radio Gear
The electronics included in every Baja RTR buggy and truck have to be suitable to the task of handling a car nearly a meter long that can go over 35 MPH - that includes a handy built-in electronic failsafe to prevent a runaway Baja! For this latest version of the Baja 5B 2.0, we've upgraded to a new 2.4GHz radio system that makes running your Baja safer and more enjoyable than ever. No need to worry about radio conflicts, crystals, or radio interference, this Baja is equipped with the latest Spread Spectrum radio technology that delivers worry-free driving. The heavy-duty steering servo now includes tough metal gears and an aluminum steering arm for extra durability. A powerful sub-C type 6-volt receiver pack powers the servos for confidence and longevity. You'll find that many Baja bashers don't find a need to upgrade the radio system, as it's already perfect for the task!
Spread Spectrum DSSS - no frequency worries when running with dozens of cars at the same time
2.4GHz - high frequency operation eliminates radio interference
Easy operation - simplified feature list avoids the complexity of computerized radios
Ergonomic design - comfortable pistol grip handle and foam steering wheel
No crystals needed - saves money and improves reliability
Built-in failsafe function - protects the car from low voltage runaways
Steering dual rate - easily fine tune the steering to track conditions
Servo reversing switches - quickly reverse the servos for multiple applications
Low battery warning - a flashing LED indicates when the transmitter batteries are running low
Disc Brake System
Braking is controlled by a vented steel/aluminum hybrid brake rotor and semi-metallic brake pads for smooth and consistent stopping power.
Truck Body Mounts
Tough nylon construction and 8 mounting points keep the truck body securely mounted, fully adjustable design for compatibility.
