I have been listing my dirt bike on and off on Craigslist for the last couple months. I have had a lot of bites, low ball offers and a lot of silly offers like ("Hey man I got a T-maxx barely used would you trade?") but never anything that convinced me to let go of it until today!
When I list the dirt bike I have been asking $600 OBO or will also trade for an HPI Baja, large scale gas boat or possible nitro stuff. I listed it this a.m. and within 30 mins had a guy call me out of San Antonio with this Baja for an even trade. He kept telling me how it had so many hop-ups and was in perfect condition but his son just didn't play with it anymore. It has sat up in the garage for a year now.
I was very skeptical thinking well this is probably a clone model or something he is trying to sell off as a Baja but I took my chances and loaded up my dirt bike and hit the road.
Well I know am the proud owner of this HPI Baja 5B!
From what the guy told me and just looking at it:
It has a modified 23cc fuelie motor (I'm not sure whats all modified but the guy said its to the max)
Tuned Pipe
Aluminum air intake
Boost bottles that run down to the carb with some kinda spacer??
and some kinda brackets on the shocks??
Known flaws:
Roll cage busted up
Steering servo stripped
fuel tank leaks
Here are some pictures
