HPI Baja 5B SS kit
Like to build kits? Wanna build a really, really big
kit? Dig into the Baja 5B SS, the DIY version of
HPI’s mighty mega-buggy. Much more than a dis-
assembled 5B, the SS model ups the ante with a
tuned and polished pipe, aluminum diff case, all-
metal dogbones, oversized shock shafts, sway-
bars, heavy-duty beadlock rims and more. No
electronics of course, except for the steering
servo—HPI hooks you up with a new hi-po, metal-
gear job. And since it’s a kit, the body is clear.
You built it, you paint it!
