If anybody wonders why the HPI version is twice as much as the King motors or Rovan baja's.. This is why!

congrats to hpi! I read about hpi's endurance race in a magazine and I didnt believe it. Ive seen a couple bajas at the track but never realized how capable they are. I like the trick carbon body they put on the baja for this race. Great stuff.

Like us, put it on the back of a Rhino or even a motorcycle - or - just drive it into where you are trying to get to. We do a lot of hike'n'drive's with the R/C's. It will run for 45min on a tank of gas so you can go a ways! It drives awesome - you can see the weight of the car working! Nitro, while quick and fast, needs constant attention. This thing, drive it, park it, drive it some more, park it, drive it some more! What to modify? YOUR DRIVING AREA!!! More space!!! Throw a tuned pipe on it!

It was also done in late January, so it could still be cooler out and would lessen the chance of overheating. HPI needs to do this with the 5T. That my have a higher overheating chance because of the truck body, but just cut a hole in the window and I think it'd be fine.

Maintenace wise, is it easy to repair this? or replace if theres something thats broken? for instance, engine, carburetor, muffler,pistons, etc...? easier to repair than nitro trucks? did you ever had any problems with yours? if you just run it on-road... how often do you replace the spark plug usually? Thanks a lot bro! i hope you'd reply coz im really looking forward on getting one... nice video! =D
