I think this will increase the parts support for Hobao. My LHS carries HPI but not Ofna, with this move hopefully Hobao will be carried everywhere HPI is carried so part support for Ofna/Hobao vehicles will increase.
I agree. I’m not quite sure why HPI would import a 1/8th scale companies products, though, since they might directly compete with the products HPI already sells. I think there might be more to this than we first see.

Good morning 🙂 Can you kindly tell me where can i buy an HPI Baja 5b ss 30.50cc from the states !
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Tarek.
Hi Tarek.
You can purchase any HPI Baja from places like Tower Hobbies or Stormer Hobbies, but you won’t find any with a 30.50cc engine. The biggest engine HPI sells this car with is a 26cc. You can purchase a custom build HPI with a 30.50cc engine, but you’ll have to look around for those. Smaller, independent shops might do that for you, but I wouldn’t know which ones.
Sorry.
Tony
