The one and just initial HPI Baja 5B is BACK and ready for you to build from the ground up! The HPI SBK collection of Self Build Packages grows with the addition of not simply one, but 2 1/5th scale HPI kits! Fans of electric off-road RC will be super thrilled to build their own brushless-powered 1/5th scale with the HPI Baja 5B FLUX Self Build Kit!

Just install your own electronic devices as you build 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 variation such as the viscous torque differential, super-durable composite spur equipment with internal damping and all-metal drivetrain, the Baja 5B FLUX is ready for up to 8S 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 incredible HPI durability! With its expertly developed molded composite suspension plus extra-long adjustable HD shocks, and enormous high impact 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 big battery box and has area for the BIGGEST brushless motors you can discover for RC, and also features an adjustable motor install. Precise steering is provided by a dual-bellcrank rack and cam-type servo saver. Aluminum parts are anodized in cool gunmetal and a smooth FLUX-specific clear polycarbonate body is included in the SBK set, ready for your custom-made racing scheme!

The tube roll cage is made of high impact nylon and topped with a real aluminum roofing system to carry on the traditional looks. The roll cage is completely practical and safeguards the motor and internals from crash damage. The roll cage, radio box, body panels, wing, undertray and equipment case are all mounted with quick gain access to clips for simple maintenance.

The Baja 5B SBK Includes these Upgrades:

Front & Rear Sway Bars (86618)- Front and rear sway bars improves handling and offers quicker steering response over. Add more tuning possibilities with the Sway Bar Set!

Super Sturdy Drive Shaft (104966) - The 9mm thick Super Sturdy Drive Shafts and matching HD drivetrain parts add a major amount of strength to the drivetrain, and the rubber boots keep mud and grass from the outdrives and bearings.

Rear Hub Provider (104781) - The one-piece Rear Hub Carriers are simpler to adjust, more long lasting, and are a lighter weight than the initial multi-piece hub providers. They also permit toe-in changes of 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 degrees to help match the Baja's performance to track conditions.

24mm Sturdy Front Hex Hub (105612) - Changing the initial C-clip front hex hub, the HD Front Hex Hub adds a major amount of strength to the front suspension and drastically improves the durability of the HPI Baja 5B.
