HPI Baja 5B 1/5 Scale 2WD Petrol Buggy Self-Build Kit – No Engine

Build a large-scale RC legend with the HPI Baja 5B Petrol Self-Build Kit. Measuring over 80cm long, this desert buggy offers an engaging assembly project with the freedom to choose your own engine, radio system and electronics.

The Baja’s aluminium monocoque chassis, long-travel suspension and adjustable heavy-duty shock absorbers provide a capable foundation for off-road driving. A sealed, oil-filled gear differential delivers power to the rear wheels, while dual-bellcrank steering and a cam-type servo saver help maintain precise control.

Gunmetal-anodised aluminium components complement the classic Baja styling. The included clear polycarbonate body lets you finish the build with your own colour scheme.
