The exciting Baja 5SC SS gets the SS treatment! HPI is proud to announce the latest addition to the Baja line-up, the Baja 5SC SS. Like the rest of the SS line, the Baja 5SC SS comes as an unassembled kit that you get to build from the ground up. But we don't stop there; the Baja 5SC SS is equipped with all of the high performance goods in the box, right down to a clear SC-1 body that you can paint just the way you want for a truly custom truck. The powerplant has been upgraded to the high performance Fuelie 26s engine, coupled to the optional aluminum tuned pipe with steel header. Combined with the 8,000 RPM clutch, the Baja 5SC SS has some serious grunt to help it propel to speeds in excess of 40MPH! We have also included the stock muffler if you feel like quieting things down a bit. Traction comes from the high performance and extremely sticky HB Rodeoo tires mounted on the new TR-10 wheels.

The Baja 5SC SS ships with a realistic wide Short Course body that is clear to allow you to put your own personal stamp on the truck. Express yourself with a custom paint scheme on this huge die-cut bodyshell, which is already trimmed and ready for your own design!

To keep in sync with the Super Heavy Duty drivetrain, the Baja 5SC also comes with Heavy Duty front wheel hubs. These new axles utilize a screw and nut design that eliminates the older e-clip design, which further improves the reliability of the truck.

For high traction on a variety of dirt surfaces, HB Rodeoo tyres are standard equipment on the Baja 5SC. The asymmetric tread pattern mirrors the design of full-size off-road racing tyres. The sticky rubber compound, block treads and wide grooves give the right mix of sliding and gripping. Concentric rings on the sidewalls give extra grip if things get really hairy! Bold 10-spoke wheels (TR-10) using heavy duty beadlock rings add to the realistic Short Course looks of the Baja 5SC.

The final touch in completing the scale look of the Baja 5SC is a set of realistic short course bumpers that allow you to give your fellow racers a 'love tap' without risking a major incident. The bar-style front and rear bumpers look great and, along with the mud flaps, add that extra bit of Short Course realism!

Adjustable rear hubs have been added for increased durability and easier adjustment of the toe-in setting. These hubs are lighter weight and allow toe-in adjustments of 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 degrees to help match the truck performance to track conditions.

Because of the ever-increasing power demands of Baja owners around the world, and the constant desire to cram as much power in the Baja chassis as possible, we've added all-new SUPER Heavy Duty drivetrain parts that will make sure the Baja 5SC can handle extreme conditions and massive power!

Unique in the world of large-scale racing, the HPI Viscous Torque Differential gets the power to the rear wheels as smooth as silk. It's easy to tune with optional diff oils and is fully fitted with hardened metal gears and an alloy case.

From the input shaft and idler gear to the alloy-encased differential, every gear inside the sturdy Baja 5SC SS transmission is made from long-life alloy to keep your truck running all day long with minimal maintenance.

Standard on the Baja 5SC SS, this lightweight racing clutch combined with the heavy duty spring gives the 5SC SS a powerful launch at high RPMs for faster acceleration!

The awesome Baja suspension really comes into its own with long-stroke VVC/HD shock absorbers and high-sidewall truck tyres, letting the tyres do their business whether you're driving over rutted-out whoops or flying over a big tabletop!

VVC/HD shocks deliver improved handling over rough terrain and feature large 6mm diameter shock shafts for increased durability. Threaded shock bodies are used for easy adjustment of ride height.

Steel/aluminum hybrid brake rotors and semi-metallic brake pads handle braking duties, while a special venting system keeps the brakes cool for consistent stopping power.

For runtimes of up to 45 minutes, the Baja 5SC SS fuel tank holds up to 700cc of pre-mixed fuel - that's over half a liter! And just in case you clip a track barrier and flip over, the tank is equipped with a 'clunk' device that allows the engine to continue running even if the truck is resting on its roof.

The hi-torque SFL-11MG servo features extra tough all metal gears for durability, an aluminum steering arm and a water resistant case.

An enclosed radio box keeps water and dirt away from the radio receiver and receiver battery. The on/off switch and recharging jack are covered with soft rubber plugs for additional protection.

The Baja 5SC SS has full-length dirt guards to keep mud, rocks and water out of the main chassis area. The guards continue all the way to the engine and help keep cleaning time to a minimum. And, mud flaps on the rear bumper add to the realistic Short Course appearance.

HPI makes it super-easy to get into large scale! Just like all HPI cars and trucks, you get a full, in-depth instruction manual with step by step instructions that allow you to easily assemble and maintain your truck in the years to come.
