ukbajadave Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Having been out of the RC loop for a few years now (last post 2015 and about bird boxes) is the Baja 5b still relevant? I was sorting the garage recently and came across my old parts boxes. I still have some front brakes, a carbon chassis and various hop ups from the old days. Is it worth trying to put together another Baja or has the large scale world moved on? It seems like HPI has disappeared for a start. What is the default large scale these days?

Tug Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 HPI are under new ownership, they're working hard to get the brand up and running again. Not run my Baja in a while, but I still love it. If you've got the bits and the urge, build one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 It's relevant if you want to own one and run one again if you don't, sell the bits you have to fund something you will run. Or should I say if you are able to run, not everywhere is good for a Baja to run. I don't own one anymore, merely because I don't have access to the private fields and areas I used to. I would have one again if I had good places to run one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Build it up, every part is still available as a hop up or a clone part 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
