HPI Racing is proud to present the Baja 5T, a ready-to-run (RTR) 1/5
scale off-road rc 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
in your choice of black or white, mounted, pre-applied racing decals
and tinted windows. Factor in the front skid plate bumper, Desert
Buster tyres 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.
2.4GHz
Radio System with Failsafe
The electronics now 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! To control the Baja 5B 2.0, we've gone with the
brand new HPI radio system, which uses a 2-channel 2.4GHz DSSS
(Direct-Sequence Spread Spectrum) technology instead of the more common
and cheaper AM radio system. Tough water-resistant servos control both
the steering and throttle, and a special large-scale SFL-10 servo is
used for the steering. 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!
Electronic Failsafe
Nitro racers have known for a long time that having a working failsafe
system is important for those 'just in case' moments - some unforeseen
event that could make their car go out of control. With a buggy as big
as the Baja (over 800mm long and 9.5kg in weight!), this is even more
important! The failsafe ensures that should your Baja 5B 2.0 ever lose
radio signal, instead of flying out of control it will come to a safe
and controlled stop! There's nothing like peace of mind!
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 package that gets you running in just a few minutes.
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.
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, with a 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.
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!
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.
