For many years, HPI has been producing great 1/8th and 1/10th scale (& smaller) model vehicles.  Now, the HPI Baja 5B buggy (HPI 10600) puts HPI into a whole new arena of large scale radio control models.  This big buggy measures over 32 inches long and weighs over 20lbs!  This is not a small toy!  A powerful 23cc gasoline sipping 2 stroke engine produces the power.  The Baja 5B buggy can run for over 30 minutes on a single fill up of gasoline/oil mix.  Being gasoline powered means that the modeler can save big bucks over the long term compared to nitro powered models that consume more expensive nitro fuel.  Not to mention that gasoline is available almost everywhere, but nitro fuel is only available from hobby businesses.     

The exciting, big scale HPI Baja 5B is packed with many great features that make it BIG FUN!  The roll cage, radio receiver box, protective undertray, gear case, and body shell are all removable with convenient retaining clips.  A ventilated dual disc brake set up helps scrub off the speed of this large buggy.  A reliable, long life centrifugal clutch transmits the power from the 23cc engine to the easy to access gear box.  Rubber boots protect the joints of the rear drive shafts.  The gasoline 2 stroke engine breathes in through a large foam air filter and breathes out from a rear exit exhaust system.  Shock absorbers on the HPI Baja 5B come equipped with dual rate springs for better dampening control.  A waterproof receiver box helps protect the radio gear, and the high torque steering and throttle servos are water resistant.  The sturdy backbone for the HPI Baja 5B buggy is a U-shaped aluminum alloy chassis.  A plastic under body in the rear also helps protect the aluminum chassis.
