The exciting Baja 5SC SS gets the SS treatment! HPI is proud to announce
the latest addition to the Baja line-up, the Baja 5SC SS. Like the rest of the
SS line, the Baja 5SC SS comes as an unassembled kit that you get to build from
the ground up. But we don't stop there; the Baja 5SC SS is equipped with all of
the high performance goods in the box, right down to a clear SC-1 body that you
can paint just the way you want for a truly custom truck. The powerplant has
been upgraded to the high performance Fuelie 26s engine, coupled to the optional
aluminum tuned pipe with steel header. Combined with the 8,000 RPM clutch, the
Baja 5SC SS has some serious grunt to help it propel to speeds in excess of
40MPH! We have also included the stock muffler if you feel like quieting things
down a bit. Traction comes from the high performance and extremely sticky HB
Rodeoo tires mounted on the new TR-10 wheels.
The wide Short Course body is the first thing you'll notice about the Baja
5SC SS: it's more realistic than the Baja 5T body and it fits completely over
the new wheels and tires to let you take corners deep, run the competition wide
coming out of the corner and really bang together with other trucks! The Baja
5SC SS body comes clear, allowing you to give it a truly custom look to call
your own.
HB Rodeoo Short Course Tires and New TR-10
Wheels
For high traction on a variety of dirt surfaces, HB Rodeoo tires are
standard equipment on the Baja 5SC SS. The asymmetric tread pattern mirrors the
design of full-size off-road racing tires. The sticky rubber compound, block
treads and wide grooves give the right mix of sliding and gripping. Concentric
rings on the sidewalls give extra grip if things get really hairy! Bold new 10
spoke wheels (TR-10) using heavy duty beadlock rings add to the realistic Short
Course looks of the Baja 5SC SS.
New Front & Rear Short Course Bumpers
The final touch in completing the scale look of the Baja 5SC SS is a new
set of bumpers that allow you to give your fellow racers a 'love tap' without
risking a major incident. The bar-style front and rear bumpers look great and,
along with the mud flaps, add that extra bit of Short Course
realism!
Updated Rear Hubs
New rear hubs have been added for increased durability and easier
adjustment of the toe-in setting. The new hubs are lighter weight and allow
toe-in adjustments of 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 degrees to help match the truck
performance to track conditions.
