HOW FAST is my GAS Powered HPI BAJA 5B? Let’s HOOK up a GPS and FIND OUT!

In this video I test the top speed of my gas powered HPI Baja 5B running the Stock Gearing and the 29cc Dynamite Motor originally out of my Losi 5ive-T

Monster Energy Baja 5b Body -

Thx for the great vid Nolan that’s awesome you got 45 out of stock gearing. Nice rig

For any Baja owners- the best power bang for the buck is a Rovan 45cc by far! Drops right in. Gear WAY up, watch it go wheels up the entire length of the field (80+ yards at my field), and certainly over 50mph. And that was with a way too small 30cc pipe! They make a true 45cc pipe now. Or keep your engine and add the 2 speed. 2 speeds around $230, 45cc is around $280, either one will blow you away!

That’s cool looking RC. Looks like it’s a beast. I just picked up a used eBay special VLX slash 2nd for another project. It’s my first slash. Paid $140 for it with no controller. I had an extra. It has some wear but it runs good. Been looking over your series for ideas.

I have two of each traxxas nitro 😂 they all still work I’ve been bashing and racing for like 25 years I quit smoking so I have to have something to do with my hands

Awesome for a 29cc! May I recommend the Rovan 2 speed transmission? Pain to install (diff comes apart), but imagine having faster out of the hole, and maybe 10+ mph on top end- all with the same motor/pipe! And the sound of slamming second gear is too cool! I have 2 speeds on 3 of my fifth scale gassers.

My dad owns 2 HPI Baja 5b gas and i really like em

[horatio]

My 15 year old 5B SS, CY Fuelie 26cc, does 49mph, 0-40mph in 2.78 secs on 17/57, using the curly SS pipe.

You can see it in my video, complete with onboard footage. 👍

I had a T-Maxx nitro 15 years ago, I would have kept it if I had a full time
Mechanic on staff to keep it running LOL

[exciteproductionstwo]

Dude mines running a 30.5 engine and it wheelies if I don't let off half throttle. Lol

[VintageCR]

what about the 2 speed OR 3 speed conversion kit.. ? i recon it'd be a lot faster :)

[dirtshart]

Just a guess but by seeing the background I'm guessing your from the Midwest too lol

[mikesrcgarage]

I thought because of the Monster energy graphics it would do 46mph 🤦‍♂️ lol! I'm gonna switch to Rockstar 😂👍 I like the black. I have a all black 5b I call black beauty... ✌️😎👍

How much is a new, unstarted HPI Baja 5 b in the RTR D Box 2 version worth today?

[zlatkonikolic]

And with other type of gasoline can be a different speed?

[landis]

At some point will you get a nitro? Like an Hpi savage or a tmaxx? 2 stroke gas is cool too

[markbezzy]

i started 23cc 2hp then 30.5cc 2.5hp then looked at g270, g320, 45cc rovan, even 70cc nothing made over 7hp so I decided lets go mental & ffitted a 29cc ported 10hp reed valve motor with 22k rpm limit & 60mph gears ...it power wheelies to top speed hahah

[Top-Jimmy]

Ive been so tempted to buy one but whats stopping me is why are they so slow and unresponsive? I guess Im just not used to gas powered RC's as Ive never owned one. Can you gear them up easily enough? They look absolutely unreal but just too slow to what Im used to. Great video btw, I really enjoyed it.
