HPI Baja 5B SBK Re-Release (Gas and E-Buggy) | CompetitionX

In some rather surprising news (or is it?), HPI have announced the re-release of their Baja 5B SBK (Self-Build Kit). Both of these big ol’ babies come unassembled, ready for you to build, and do require additional items to get them road-ready.

Both kits also feature all the original, authentic Baja 5B features, right down to the 3-piece Beadlok wheels and tires. There’s even a few upgrades thrown in that were option parts on the OG rides!

What We Like:
Like most people that have ANY interest in RC, we LOVED the Baja when it was in it’s prime. We raced it at quite a few tracks across the US, winning 3 National-level events with the 5B and 5T. It was an incredibly fun vehicle to drive and we’re super stoked to see it getting re-released! Would love to get our hands on one of the Flux versions for sure!

What We’re Not Sure About:
Unfortunately, the Bajas lost steam right about the time Losi’s big-scale rides hit the market, so we’re not quite sure how well this buggy (and we’re assuming truck to follow) will be received. Only time will tell but we’re hoping it does well.
