Baja 5T Prototype-1

[Tom H.]

Okay Baja freaks, here it is! John Schultz from HPI showed up at our race today and what does he bring to show off to the loyal No Limit racers? That's right! The very 1st Baja 5T ever made! This is the 5T that all the rest of them are gonna be modeled after! The video isn't great, but you can get a pretty good idea of how the truck handles. Enjoy!

truck looks pretty good. seems like it needs a bigger track though. its almost asking for straight aways

You lucky dog. Thats awesome. It seems very nimble on its wheels, a bit large for the track but looks fun. I just cant wait for a 4X4 version.

Keep in mind, that's a buggy/truggy track he's running it on.:10:

Here's some video of it taken during the HPI Challenge in VA Beach yesterday. Keep in mind that this thing is running on 1/10-1/8 scale track.
