  • Our take on the HPI Racing Baja 5B 1/5 2WD Gasoline Buggy

    The Baja 5B is a 1/5-scale, two-wheel-drive off-road buggy that runs on a 23-32cc gas engine. It ships as a self-assembly kit aimed at experienced builders, and at nearly 32 inches long and 9.6 kg it is a large, heavy machine that needs open space. Its rear-wheel-drive layout and big-scale suspension give it the sliding, roost-throwing feel of a full-size buggy, and the design shields the engine and internals from crash damage. It suits serious hobbyists who want to build, tune and maintain a gas model rather than plug in a battery.
