Gigantic tractor-tread tyres grip and grab at all terrain, and huge long-travel threaded shocks allow you to land massive jumps with ease! Extra-thick aluminium shock towers, large front and rear bumpers and thick flexible body posts help make the Blackout super-durable and able to tackle anything. 

HPI BAJA 5B SS KIT WITH BAJA 5B-1 CLEAR BODY


The 1/5th scale Baja 5B RWD desert racing buggy has been a huge success with RC fans, racers and journalists, and Baja owners have been extremely happy with the racing prowess, durability and qualities of the Baja 5B buggy. Now, HPI is proud to announce the Baja SS, a full-option Baja kit that you assemble yourself, loaded with tons of hop-ups that enhance the speed and power of the Baja 5B buggy, improve its durability even further, and provide totally sweet custom looks! 

 

The Baja SS follows the HPI innovation of upgraded ‘Super Sport' models that feature kit versions of popular HPI RTR models, with additional option parts added to enhance the enjoyment of your kit. A long list of option parts is included with the SS version of the Baja 5B. As you build the kit, you add in the options that come in the box, and add your own radio gear (receiver, throttle servo, and receiver battery).
