1:5 SCALE PETROL 2WD SHORT-COURSE TRUCK.
Updated for 2013, with a new look and a new engine!With
the new matte black and matte silver color schemes, the Baja 5T 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
itΆs got a bit more power, and all of the standard and option engine
parts from the previous engine will also bolt right on, so itΆs 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.
Not sure what 'Short Course' is?
Short
Course racing is off-road truck racing in an enclosed dirt arena.
Filled with jumps, straight sections and tight corners, short course
racetracks are just like the RC version of off-road tracks, just imagine
them filled with 20 full-size trucks, each with 700hp, scrambling for
track position and bashing each other in the turns! You can bump and
batter each other but keep the truck on its wheels, thanks to the fully
enclosed wheels and tyres.
CHASSIS
PROVEN TOUGH CHASSIS BASED ON THE AWARD-WINNING BAJA 5B SS
Baja Short Course Parts
The
Baja 5SC is fitted with a wealth of awesome Short Course parts that
make it ideal for tackling off-road tracks shoulder-to-shoulder with
hordes of other racers. Check 'em out!
Realistic Short Course Body
The
wide Short Course body is the first thing you'll notice about the Baja
5SC: it's more realistic than the Baja 5T body and it fits completely
over the new wheels and tyres to let you take corners deep, run the
competition wide coming out of the corner and really bang together with
other trucks! The Baja 5SC comes pre-painted in your choice of black or
bright red, each with color coordinated assets/images.
Heavy Duty Front Wheel Hubs
To
keep in sync with the new Super Heavy Duty drivetrain, the Baja 5SC
also comes with new Heavy Duty front wheel hubs. These new axles utilize
a screw and nut design that eliminates the older e-clip design, which
further improves the reliability of the truck.
HB Rodeoo Short Course tyres and New TR-10 Wheels
For
high traction on a variety of dirt surfaces, HB Rodeoo tyres are
standard equipment on the Baja 5SC. The asymmetric tread pattern mirrors
the design of full-size off-road racing tyres. The sticky rubber
compound, block treads and wide grooves give the right mix of sliding
and gripping. Concentric rings on the sidewalls give extra grip if
things get really hairy! Bold new 10 spoke wheels (TR-10) using heavy
duty beadlock rings add to the realistic Short Course looks of the Baja
5SC.
Front & Rear Short Course Bumpers
The
final touch in completing the scale look of the Baja 5SC is a new set
of bumpers that allow you to give your fellow racers a 'love tap'
without risking a major incident. The bar-style front and rear bumpers
look great and, along with the mud flaps, add that extra bit of Short
Course realism!
Adjustable One-Piece Rear Hubs
New
rear hubs have been added for increased durability and easier
adjustment of the toe-in setting. The new hubs are lighter weight and
allow toe-in adjustments of 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 degrees to help match the
truck performance to track conditions.
Super Heavy Duty Parts
Because
of the ever-increasing power demands of Baja owners around the world,
and the constant desire to cram as much power in the Baja chassis as
possible, we've added all-new SUPER Heavy Duty drivetrain parts that
will make sure the Baja 5SC can handle extreme conditions and massive
power!
Super Heavy Duty Drive Shafts | Super Heavy Duty Diff Shafts | Super Heavy Duty Drive Axles |
|
|
|
All-new
extra-thick 9mm dogbones are the starting point of the 5SC drivetrain
upgrade - these are new, thicker and stronger to outlast the roughest
rides and racing action you can find! New wider rubber boots are
included to keep the dirt and mud away. | Getting
the power from the diff gears to the new dogbones is a wider diff shaft
that perfectly fits the increased diameter of the dogbones. | The Baja 5SC is fitted with new Super HD drive axles to get power to the rear wheels, which fit the thicker dogbones. |
BAJA 5SC FEATURES:
REVISED 26cc ENGINE for 2013
The
powerful Fuelie 26 gasoline engine propels the Baja 5SC to speeds in
excess of 40mph. With a dual-element air filter, easy pullstarting and
convenient Torx T-27 screws, it's easy to keep running on standard pump
fuel and 2-cycle engine oil. And best of all, you can run for more than
45 minutes on a single tank of gas!
VISCOUS TORQUE DIFF
Unique
in the world of large-scale racing, the HPI Viscous Torque Differential
gets the power to the rear wheels as smooth as silk. It's easy to tune
with optional diff oils and is fully fitted with hardened metal gears
and an alloy case.
ALL METAL GEAR TRANSMISSION
From
the input shaft and idler gear to the alloy-encased differential, every
gear inside the sturdy Baja 5SC transmission is made from long-life
alloy to keep your truck running all day long with minimal maintenance.
8,000 RPM CLUTCH
Standard
on the Baja 5SC, this lightweight racing clutch combined with the heavy
duty spring gives the 5SC a powerful launch at high RPMs for faster
acceleration!
LONG TRAVEL SUSPENSION
The
awesome Baja suspension really comes into its own with long-stroke
VVC/HD shock absorbers and high-sidewall truck tyres, letting the tyres
do their business whether you're driving over rutted-out whoops or
flying over a big tabletop!
HEAVY DUTY SHOCK ABSORBERS
VVC/HD
shocks deliver improved handling over rough terrain and feature large
6mm diameter shock shafts for increased durability. Threaded shock
bodies are used for easy adjustment of ride height.
DUAL VENTED DISC BRAKE
Steel/aluminum
hybrid brake rotors and semi-metallic brake pads handle braking duties,
while a special venting system keeps the brakes cool for consistent
stopping power.
LARGE 700cc FUEL TANK
For
runtimes of up to 45 minutes, the Baja 5SC fuel tank holds up to 700cc
of pre-mixed fuel - that's over half a liter! And just in case you clip a
track barrier and flip over, the tank is equipped with a 'clunk' device
that allows the engine to continue running even if the truck is resting
on its roof.
SFL-11MG SERVO
The
hi-torque SFL-11MG servo features extra tough all metal gears for
durability, an aluminum steering arm and a water resistant case.
SEALED RADIO BOX
An
enclosed radio box keeps water and dirt away from the 2.4GHz receiver
and receiver battery. The on/off switch and recharging jack are sealed
with soft rubber plugs for additional protection. To keep up with those
long runtimes, a high capacity, long lasting, 3000mAh Ni-MH rechargeable
receiver pack comes standard from the factory. It comes prewired with a
separate charging lead for easy access charging with the included wall
charger for that ultimate all-in-one package!
DIRT GUARDS
The
Baja 5SC has full-length dirt guards to keep mud, rocks and water out
of the main chassis area. The guards continue all the way to the engine
and help keep cleaning time to a minimum. And, mud flaps on the rear
bumper add to the realistic Short Course appearance.
HIGH QUALITY ELECTRONICS
TF-20 TRANSMITTER and RF-30 RECEIVER
Controlling
everything is easy with the HPI 2.4GHz radio system. There's no need to
worry about changing crystals, the radio prevents frequency conflicts
automatically. Water-resistant servos control the steering and
throttle/brake, with the powerful large-scale SFL-11MG steering the
front wheels. If the truck loses radio signal or battery power, an
electronic failsafe will bring it to a safe and controlled stop. The
servos are powered by the included 3000mAh NiMH 5-cell battery pack, you
just need to supply a charger with standard battery plug and 6 AA
batteries for the transmitter.
