That's Jani himself shortly in the vid driving the Escort. His friend is using the camera who has also been heavily involved in building the body (not me). Just wanted to share the vid with you gentlemen.

Jani's Baja is a bone-stock HPI with lengthened chassis and the 2kg Escort body on top of it. Gears are stock as is the 26cc completely stock engine and clutch and the suspension is soft, not meant for wheelies.

The only "power additive" it has is a homemade tuned pipe that you can see in the pictures-page in the link that I provided. It isn't the prettiest but it really works.
