HPI Baja 5B 2.0 With 2.4ghz - 5B-1 Body

The Baja 5B 2.0 gives you more speed, better acceleration, improved handling and THREE fantastic new looks! The awesome gray-anodized look of the Baja 5T truck comes to the buggy, with all of the main aluminium parts now anodized a cool, sleek gunmetal colour. The body is now available in three fantastic new designs: bright red, cool blue and subdued gray.

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!

More Fantastic Standard Parts

The Baja 5B 2.0 has several great new features and standard parts, many of them taken right off the kit-only SS version and the Baja 5T truck! Check out all the fantastic updates!

Revised 23cc Engine

The new engine fitted in the Baja 5B 2.0 features an updated cylinder that provides 10% extra power! When combined with the High Flow Muffler and 8000 RPM clutch, you'll experience much faster top speeds, better acceleration and more power overall!


High Flow Muffler

The High Flow Muffler from the Baja 5T is a much larger capacity design than the old standard muffler, and is tuned to give you more horsepower on the track. It sounds fantastic, too! When the Baja 5B 2.0 is ripping past the pits, you will know it!


8000 RPM Clutch

Formerly an option part, the high performance 8000 RPM Clutch from the Baja SS and 5T is used to give you more punch off the line. Lightweight clutch shoes and a strong heavy-duty spring are the integral parts of this unit, and you will feel the power out of the turns.


VVC/HD Shock Absorbers

These are the same damper units that equip the Baja SS and Baja 5T, and are now standard parts for the 5B 2.0 - these are oil-filled, externally adjustable coilover shocks for fantastic performance and heavy-duty action! Thick shock shafts provide security from crashes, threaded shock bodies allow instant ride height changes, and the externally adjustable design is tailor-made for trackside tuning.


Torx T27 Engine Screws

The engine now features tough Torx T27 screws to make maintenance and rebuilds less of a chore. Torx screws are easier to work with and provide less wear and tear on tools and screws, making them the ideal screw option for a Baja buggy engine!

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 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!
