1/5 Scale Baja 5B Flux 2WD Electric Desert Buggy SBK with Clear Body (No Electronics)

The one and only initial HPI Baja 5B is BACK and ready for you to construct from the ground up! The HPI SBK collection of Self Build Kits grows with the addition of not just one, but TWO 1/5th scale HPI packages!

Just install your own electronics as you construct the Baja 5B FLUX and you'll be ready for any experience that comes your way!

With extra-tough drivetrain parts taken straight from the gasoline-powered version such as the thick torque differential, super-durable composite spur gear with internal damping and all-metal drivetrain, the Baja 5B FLUX is ready for up to eight of raw LiPo power, so you can see speeds of over 50 miles per hour!

The Baja 5B FLUX is also geared up with extra-big and super-tough suspension parts, including amazing HPI resilience! With its expertly developed molded composite suspension plus extra-long adjustable HD shocks, and enormous high effect nylon 3-piece beadlock wheels, the Baja 5B is ready for full-speed racing on any off-road circuit!

The 4mm thick 6061 aluminum monocoque chassis fits a substantial battery box and has space for the BIGGEST brushless motors you can find for RC, and also includes an adjustable motor mount.
