HPI Racing is known for their 1:5 Baja series lineup of vehicles. Most 1:5 scale racers and bashers alike can agree that HPI is one of the leaders and innovators in the modern day 1:5 scale industry. For 2013, HPI Racing has freshened up the look of the Baja 5SC truck as well as dropping in a new engine with even more power.
With the new matte black and matte silver color schemes, the Baja 5SC racing truck has an updated look that is menacing to your racing competition yet stylish enough to display in your garage! The new color designs have all the hallmarks of an instant classic, while underneath the body our designers have been busy with the details of a brand new engine!
The new engine has all the same features as the original Fuelie 26, but now it’s got a bit more power, and all of the standard and option engine parts from the previous engine will also bolt right on, so it’s easy to maintain and upgrade!
With the Baja 5SC large scale truck, you can instantly jump into the thrill of Short Course racing! The Baja 5SC takes the HPI Baja line-up to the next level with a new SC-1 body that gives the Baja 5SC authentic Short Course looks. Adding to the durability and realistic looks is a new skid-plate front bumper and a large rear bumper with real rubber mud flaps. Power comes from a massive 26cc Fuelie engine that propels the Baja 5SC to speeds in excess of 40mph and it runs for more than 45 minutes on a single tank of regular unleaded pump gasoline. For extra traction on any dirt surface, HB Rodeoo tyres are now standard equipment, mounted on new TR-10 bead-lock truck wheels. We increased durability with Super Heavy Duty 9mm drive shafts, updated rear hub carriers, and HD front hex hubs. A 2.4GHz radio system is standard equipment for precise control and long distance reception without the hassles of frequency crystals. It's all ready-to-run right out of the box, pre-assembled by our expert crew so you can hit the dirt quickly.
