High Performance, Aggressive Desert Truck!
Coming soon from HPI Racing is the Baja 5T, a ready-to-run (RTR)
1/5th
scale
off-road 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.
Now with an All-New 2.4GHz DSSS Radio!
All of the Baja models, including the 5T truck and 5B buggy,
now include an exclusive brand new HPI 2.4GHz radio system!
This means you get to experience DSSS (Direct-Sequence
Spread Spectrum) technology for no-crystal, no-fuss driving
enjoyment. You can just switch on the radio and not have to
worry about what channel anyone else is running - just get
out and drive!
New Body Mounting System
Keeping the body securely attached is a completely
new body mounting system with tough nylon construction,
8 mounting points to distribute the stress on the body, and
fully adjustable for compatibility. A adjustable
front skid plate bumper protects the truck on big
jumps, now with 4 headlights for realistic desert truck
looks. A moulded nylon rear spoiler is included for off-road
stability, with an integrated rear body brace for
extra strength.
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.
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, 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.
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 Guards
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.
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!
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 aluminium alloy chassis
for extreme durability.
So get ready to take on the desert with the giant new 1/5th
scale Baja 5T truck. It's got the look, it's got the power,
and it's built tough to take the punishment of off-road
action.
