High
Performance, Aggressive Desert Truck!
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-11MG 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 truck as big as
the Baja 5T (900mm long and 12.6kg in weight!), this is even more
important! The failsafe ensures that should your Baja 5T 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.
