HPI are now including their own 2.4ghz DSSS (Direct-Sequence Spread Spectrum) radios with the Baja 5b and 5t RTR, would be nice if they rolled this out to more of the HPI model range, Savage, Blitz etc

2.4GHz Radio System with Failsafe
The electronics now included in every Baja RTR buggy and truck have to be suitable to the task of handling a car nearly a meter long that can go over 35 MPH - that includes a handy built-in electronic failsafe to prevent a runaway Baja! To control the Baja 5B 2.0, we've gone with the brand new HPI radio system, which uses a 2-channel 2.4GHz DSSS (Direct-Sequence Spread Spectrum) technology instead of the more common and cheaper AM radio system. Tough water-resistant servos control both the steering and throttle, and a special large-scale SFL-10 servo is used for the steering. A powerful sub-C type 6-volt receiver pack powers the servos for confidence and longevity. You'll find that many Baja bashers don't find a need to upgrade the radio system, as it's already perfect for the task!
Electronic Failsafe
Nitro racers have known for a long time that having a working failsafe system is important for those 'just in case' moments - some unforeseen event that could make their car go out of control. With a buggy as big as the Baja (over 800mm long and 9.5kg in weight!), this is even more important! The failsafe ensures that should your Baja 5B 2.0 ever lose radio signal, instead of flying out of control it will come to a safe and controlled stop! There's nothing like peace of mind!
