Just picked up a HPI BAJA 5B-SS

Post by THE H.P FREAK »

HI!... Always wanted one of these since they came out. Got a great deal. Here's bit about the car from the ad :

*****Began life as a standard Baja SS. This car has THE first carbon fiber chassis in the US for the 5B as sent to me as a test unit from a manufacturer in Europe. At the time I got this chassis from him, there were zero carbon chassis on the market and this one was a prototype unit. The chassis has been on this car for a very very long time. I had broken others but this one was by far the strongest one I ever received. It is very thick in the nose and extremely durable. Obviously it must be as it is still in use.
OutFrontFrames carbon is everywhere on the car. Original LiPo plate, rear chassis plate, chassis braces, tank brace, rear chassis brace (w/ 4 bolt brake brace), pin braces, shock towers, brake disc, etc. The car is much lighter than a standard 5B. Perfect for summertime in the dunes or racing at your local track.

Currently installed on the car:
RPM Front Arms
Baja SS DogBones
3s LiPo with Castle Creations BEC
Barely used snow camo body
Custom anodizing on shocks and other aluminum parts
GH Clutch bell carrier
OuterWears on pull start and filter
Redneck outer filter
OFF/Turtle Aluminum brake caliper and pads
Stainless wheel screws
Futaba S3004 throttle/brake servo
HPI SFL10MG2 streering servo w/ metal horn
DarkSoul extenders
26cc Motor
Aluminum SS Pipe
Enclosed wheel nuts
Pro-Line Bow Tie rear tires
*****
