Big model fans, we've heard you. The one and only HPI Baja 5B is back and ready for you to customize from head to toe. The HPI SBK (Self Build Kits) range sees the addition of not one, but two 1/5th scale models. Large-scale enthusiasts are going to be super-excited to build their 1/5th thermal Buggy with the HPI Baja 5B FLUX SBK.
When we released the very first HPI Baja 5B, 1/5th scale RC models were very expensive and difficult to approach, even for the discerning modeler. By using cutting-edge design and solid parts, HPI has opened up 1/5 scale models to a new fringe of modellers and ushered in a new era of XXL modelling.
Now you can build and fly the legend again! Enjoy the stimulating experience of building an RC model that will ultimately be over 80cm long and weigh in at just under 10kg. All you have to do is install your own electronics in the HPI Baja 5B FLUX construction process, and you're ready for any adventure.
With extra-strong transmission parts from the thermal version, such as the viscous torque differential, ultra-durable composite spur gear with internal damping and an all-metal transmission, the HPI Baja 5B FLUX is ready to take up to 8S of pure LiPo power to propel itself at over 80km/h.
The HPI Baja 5B FLUX is also equipped with extra-large, super-strong suspension parts, offering HPI's impressive strength! With its molded composite suspension, the fruit of our designers' experience, extra-long adjustable HD shocks and massive, high-impact 3-piece nylon wheels, the Baja 5B FLUX is ready to launch at full speed on any off-road track!
The 4 mm-thick 6061 aluminum monocoque chassis houses a huge battery compartment and has plenty of room for the biggest RC brushless motor you can find. Shaped by folding for maximum strength, the chassis provides mounting points for motor and suspension, forming the backbone of the car. Precise steering is provided by a double-crank rack and pinion and a cam-type servo-saver. The aluminum parts are anodized in gunmetal color, and the classic Baja Desert Racer transparent polycarbonate body is included in the SBK kit, ready to wear your colors!
The Baja 5B FLUX SBK is an excellent addition to your HPI collection, as well as a fabulous introduction to large-scale buggies!
