Introducing the new Baja 5R On-Road!
The Baja 5R On-Road takes the HPI Baja concept to all-new places: to the streets! With a lowered suspension designed purely for on-road action, the Baja 5R is the perfect way to enjoy large-scale fun while burning up the pavement!
The first thing you'll notice about the Baja 5R is the huge 1970 Ford Boss Mustang body, which is set off by a set of vintage 8-spoke wheels and Tarmac Buster tires! This iconic muscle car is the perfect fit for the the rear-wheel drive Baja 5R, and the setup of the Baja 5R will let you pull off impressive, controllable powerslides for awesome realistic driving!
The Baja 5R suspension and drivetrain is based on the extremely tough Baja 5B, so right from the start you know the on-road version will be super-tough in any situation, plus it will be very easy to find spares and upgrades for the Baja 5R. The heart of the car is the Fuelie 23cc engine, which will give the Baja 5R wheelspinning power and enough top speed to make your pulse race!
Features:
Replica 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302 bodyshell
New on-road 4mm thick aluminum monococque chassis
On-road suspension geometry with low ride height
Extremely durable suspension derived from Baja 5B buggy
On-road foam front bumper
Vintage 8-spoke beadlock wheels with Tarmac Buster tires
23cc engine with super-durable Baja 5B drivetrain
SFL-11MG steering servo
Enclosed radio box with battery charging jack
New TF-45 2.4 GHz radio system

real nice

1/5? that looks larger than some 1/4 scales?

Emilio,
I thought the same...anyone know the wheel base on a Baja 5b?

Hi, A Baja 5b has a approx. wheelbase of 22 1/4". width is 17 1/4". A Raco GN has a wheelbase of approx. 25". Width 18 1/4",

Thanks PT,
The Boss body would be a bit short for a 1/4 scale chassis...

Do you think the 5B and the 5R will share the same wheelbase? Or have you seen the specs for the 5R?

Im sure it will. The front kick up was taken out of the chassis. Everything else looks to be the same.

MMMMM might be another option for the 55 body while I collect the rest of the parts................... And still be able to get parts for it

I'm looking forward to building a pro stock type chassis for this body when it becomes available
