HPI Baja 5T

HPI Baja 5T in action!

Well it's official, just a day after we showed you the photo's of a possible Baja 5T HPI has officially released information that there is in fact a Baja 5T and it's coming soon!

Inspired by the latest Baja 1000 desert trucks, the HPI Baja 5T is a RTR 1/5th scale off-road truck that has an aggressive truck look, new high performance parts, along with the compatibility of many of the existing Baja 5b parts and hop-up parts.

Baja 5T Chassis

Under the new Baja 5T truck body is the same 26cc engine with an 8,000 RPM clutch that's found in the Baja 5B SS. However, instead of the aluminum high flow exhaust pipe found on the Baja 5b SS, the Baja 5T sports a similar exhaust found on the first Baja 5b RTR. The 26cc “fuelie” engine will send the Baja 5T packing at more then 40 MPH.
