HPI RACING BAJA KRAKEN 5B CLASS 1 BUGGY RTR

8,000 RPM Clutch

Formerly an option part, the high performance 8000 RPM Clutch from the Baja SS and 5T is used to give the Baja 5B more punch, or acceleration, off the line. Lightweight clutch shoes and a strong heavy-duty spring are the integral parts of this unit, and you will definitely feel the power out of the turns!

30 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 30 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 - 30 minutes of fun before you have to stop to refuel! Welcome to large scale RC!

Long-Stroke VVC/HD Racing Shocks

These are the same top-quality shock dampers that are equipped on the racing-level Baja SS and bigger (and heavier) Baja 5T, and are also standard parts for the Baja 5B. These are race-quality, endurance tested, oil-filled, externally adjustable coilover shocks for fantastic performance and heavy-duty track action! Extra-thick shock shafts provide security from crashes, threaded shock bodies allow instant ride height changes, and the externally adjustable piston design is tailor-made for fast trackside tuning.

Durable Off-Road Beadlock Tires

To allow the Baja 5B TSK-B Class 1 to go just about anywhere, we've fitted tires that are ideally suited for nearly all off-road conditions. The unique beadlock off-road tires combine to provide the perfect amount of traction and control on dirt, gravel and grass surfaces. The grippy Rodeoo tires use a versatile staggered square pin design that gives you the traction you need for fast acceleration out of every corner. The realistic tread design and open spacing between the rectangular lugs also easily sheds excess dirt, mud and grass, so you can provide the direction and steering necessary for pinpoint accuracy on the track.

Extra-Strong Suspension Parts

HPI has always been known for its extremely rugged cars and trucks, starting with our earliest touring cars and carrying on with monster trucks and large-scale machines. The Baja 5B uses the exact same suspension components as the Baja SS and 5T, so you know you've got a quality buggy in your hands. Durable plastic compounds and smart design combine to make the Baja 5B super rugged on any kind of terrain, so you can bash, race and play with your friends for hours before needing to think about maintenance or repair.

Front and Rear Protective Skid Plates

Powerful Vented Disk Brake

To bring something the size and speed of the Baja 5B buggy to a safe and controlled stop, the brakes need to be extra-strong, reliable and foolproof. This is why we use two steel plates for brake disks, both of which are drilled for lightness. To keep the disks cool under pressure, a fan-shaped spacer is used blast rotating air through the vent holes drilled in each disk.

Protective CVD Boots

Helping to keep the Baja 5B running at top speed for hours at a time, the driveshafts are fitted with extra-flexible rubber boots at each end. The boots keep mud, dirt and grass away from the driveshaft and axle joints, and also keep lubricating grease in place around the joints.
