HPI Baja 5B 2.0 2WD Buggy 2.4 Gig RTR with DBOX2 

Take command of the biggest buggy available from HPI Racing, now fitted with HPI’s exclusive D-Box 2 tech! The Baja 5B is huge, powerful and ready for action, and with the amazing D-Box 2 you’ll be in full control of this massive 10kg (22 lb) beast anywhere you go! With a mighty 23cc 2-stroke engine powering the huge, rear-wheel drive Baja 5B buggy, you can easily hit speeds over 30mph! 

The Baja 5B is fitted with externally adjustable VVC/HD shock absorbers on all four corners and a super-tough, high torque large scale metal gear steering servo. It’s got our ultra-reliable 2.4GHz radio system, big battery pack powering the steering and throttle servos plus a battery charger, so you’re ready for instant Baja action! The radio box is also fitted with the D-Box 2 Adjustable Stability Control System that will give you total confidence at any speed, on any kind of terrain you’re driving on. It’s perfect for driving on slippery surfaces with a powerful rear-wheel drive car like the Baja 5B, because you can change its sensitivity to make the car more stable as it’s cornering…or help it kick out the rear end for awesome drifting action! 

The Baja 5B also features an extra-thick monocoque aluminum chassis, 700cc fuel tank for up to 45 minutes of driving before refueling, painted body in an all-new design and pre-mounted wheels and tires so you are ready to rock! The Baja 5B has the huge size and amazing looks that will amaze your friends, and now it’s more controllable than ever, thanks to the awesome D-Box 2!

The D-BOX 2 is your Secret Weapon for perfectly controlled driving!

The D-Box 2 is a fantastic electronic aid for drivers of all skill levels, in any kind of RC car, on any kind of driving surface. Whether you take your Baja 5B out on grass, loose dirt, mud or ultra-grippy clay, you will get perfect control thanks to the magic of HPI Drift Assist technology! The super-small D-BOX 2 simply connects between the receiver and steering servo for an amazing difference in your driving performance!

The  D-BOX 2 has an amazing feature that improves response over other driving assistance systems when the gyro sensitivity is increased (Patented steering operation priority system) using the provided Mode switches. This new priority system allows the steering inputs from the transmitter to have priority over the gyro. While the D-BOX 2 is perfect for all types of vehicles, this gyro correction is seen the most when used in high-powered off-road cars: increasing the throttle will not spin the car out, even in slippery conditions! The D-BOX 2 will also prevent sliding in sudden braking or steering. 

Exclusive Sensitivity Mode Switch 

The HPI D-BOX 2 allows you to set 4 sensitivity modes using 2 switches. Mode 0 has the characteristics of the original D-BOX, with gyro compensation present from the steering action provided by your radio signal. You can get more steering control and less gyro compensation as you change the modes up to Modes 1, 2 and 3 - if you want earlier steering response through the transmitter and less from the gyro, simply change the mode to a higher number. Test drive the different modes to find the optimal driving mode for your preference!

The D-Box 2 will help you drive smoother, faster and with more control - and it's fitted in the Baja 5B right out of the box!

FEATURING THE NEW TF-45 2.4GHZ RADIO SYSTEM!

The Baja 5B now also features the new TF-45 radio system - a 3-channel, 2.4GHz radio that has all the most-desired features experienced RC drivers crave. Among its many features are Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) digital 2.4GHz radio technology, end-point adjustments and electronic failsafe protection, plus dual-rate, trim and reversing functions. It's also lightweight and comfortable thanks to its drop-down steering wheel, changeable grip size and padded steering wheel.

ELEMENT-PROOF PROTECTION

The Baja 5B features protection for its electronics and it's ready to tackle wet conditions like mud, rain and snow! The 2.4GHz receiver is safely stored in an element-proof receiver box, protecting it in wet conditions to ensure glitch-free operation. A large rubber plug provides easy access to the receiver battery. To remove the radio box when you're cleaning the car, just remove a few clips - no tools necessary! Please note: the electronics are not designed for submerged operation. Be sure to rinse off any dirt or salt water with clean water immediately after driving. Check the receiver box to make sure no water is inside and let dry fully before driving again. 

EXTRA-THICK ALUMINUM CHASSIS!

The Baja 5B uses a unique chassis design that has inspired imitators and pretenders that are still trying to dethrone the Baja from the top of the heap. The extra-thick Baja monocoque aluminum chassis is formed from strong 6061 aircraft aluminum for light weight and strength, then bent into shape with computer precision to make it into an extra-rigid and super-strong platform for the engine, suspension and all other components of the Baja.

45 MINUTES OF DRIVING TIME PER TANK

The fuel tank holds 700cc of pre-mixed 2-stroke fuel, using normal pump gasoline and easily available 2-stroke engine oil. This amount of fuel will give you run times of 45 minutes or more and the handy flexible 'clunk' inside allows the engine to keep running even if the car is upside down after a crash. Imagine that - 45 minutes of fun before you have to stop to refuel! Welcome to large scale RC!
