REAL HPI Baja 5B with Zenoah Motor - Test Drive & Spur Gear Dampeners Fixed - Gearing Explained

[@youtubeviewer9523]

Hey bro, your baja videos have made me wanna get one so badly. It is just such a PITA to find a good condition original baja, as clones have become so plentiful these days. Glad to see yours getting the love it deserves, as so many of these have the crap beaten out of them, they they break and never see the light of day again.

[@xaviersrcadventures2955]

This guy goes into great detail and does great making these videos! Good to see it running rich and loud again. 🤜💥🤛

[@hybrid32494]

thank you man! you're the best and most ethical viewer there is, and you're finding many busted arrma diffs all over the place with a digger from what I hear!!! ahahahah

[@benjaminmartinez7982]

I'm super stoked to see you out those parts to use and having a OG Baja running again

[@rc-ops]

Gotta love the classic baja 🔥

[@michaelinzitari]

Awesome purchase only $100. That’s my style of price structure. Great repair! Easy and fast. Even better that you got some parts donated to you. Amazing gear ratio chart. Love that kind of info! I love fixed motor mounts. I don’t care about adjustability. Reliability durability and consistency is my preference every time. Well done!

All Hail to the King of Nitrogang ! wish it was summer allready my nitro truck is all ready to go.

[@hybrid32494]

hey my dude! thanks so much for checking out this video!! you the man!! Summer will be here soon and we will all burn some nitro around he world bro!!!

[@highdesertaggrorc7801]

Great job on the repair! I agree that as long your Baja cuts up some decent donuts then it’s a runner!

[@jonathanbarnette8713]

Just picked up a 4.6 Savage can't wait to try it out

[@sakisSAVAGER]

It's my best rc car!!! I love it ❤❤❤

[@hybrid32494]

What’s up my brother, yes I know you are probably the largest genuine HPI fan there is. I got this one for quite cheap it had many problems but just like any gas or Nitro you cannot kill them. I’m happy to see this one running once again.

[@sakisSAVAGER]

@@hybrid32494 I look forward for a more action video with that hpi 1/5 baja

[@williamquick6153]

That thing turned out sweet man 😋 good job

[@hybrid32494]

Thanks man. I still have this Baja and it’s still running pretty well after all of the repairs. You just can’t kill it although the prior owner certainly tried, lol

[@Nerm78]

Great video! Thanks for the needed parts Ben!

[@tarekkhoury5384]

One of the best informative videos. Excellent run and repair.

[@rcnitroflux2361]

Love it bud still king of 1/5 every body should try one bud

[@kgm5512]

Great video! Loved the explanation of the gearing

[@hybrid32494]

thank you man!! Yes the gearing info is very important for Bajas as you already know. Most people don't realize that gear mesh in not adjustable on the baja chassis and you need to swap both the clutch bell and the spur gear.

[@Serialcrasher]

GasGang ! Sickening 😁👍 Just received a "tuning" clutch for my FG Marder. Will test it soon

[@hybrid32494]

hey man! whats going on!! Glad to hear you're working on the FG, that a sickening GAS model, maybe one day I'll pick one up also..

[@Serialcrasher]

@@hybrid32494 yeah, also ordered a 22-42 gearing (stock is 18-46, and I am currently using a 20-44). We will see if it will be sickening or not 🤔😃

[@wdavie27]

Have you ever used a 2 or 3 speed transmission iv just purchased the 3 speed transmission gearing for 80 gbp but haven't had the chance to fit it yet wooohooo can't wait

[@StoneFPV-]

Great video hybrid!

[@hybrid32494]

Thanks dude!! Another vintage genuine original HPI has become great again, I am curious to see how fast this thing actually is with the high speed gearing it’s already got installed.

[@StoneFPV-]

@@hybrid32494 I think we’re all curious about that. I’m looking forward to you releasing the video showing it.

[@johngoodwin4353]

1/5 scale fun!!🤘 My favorite!! 💯

[@islandrc-duke1972]

cool nitro rc and fix,awesome run

[@YOVlogs]

nice video man I am also facing a similar issue whenever I am pressing full throttle the Baja is just moving like at a slow speed so what is the reason I think clutch failure or what

[@nomusicrc]

5:40 Thank you for the graph 7:17 fix your hat I'M SORRY I MISSED YOUR BIRTHDAY YESTERDAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY

[@hybrid32494]

hey dude! thank you man!! I had a great Nitro Birthday, went to a hibachi place. Anyway the reason I had to wear that Zenoah hat to the side is not because I wanted to look cool, it's a very logical reason. Normally I wear my hat backwards to prevent shadows on my face from the lights I use. A forward facing hat would create a shadow upto my nose. I will wear it once again and show you in a future video.

[@wdavie27]

How's you my friend long time no speak :-) hope you're doing good and having fun

[@midnightsmoker3767]

Always wanted a B5. Badass!

[@Syphic001]

Bro you got the best intro haha

[@mtadave6702]

Ye hpi say they are quality parts yet they fail all the time and people end up either making parts or buying aftermarket parts of a better quality, that's just hpi for you though, and most other hobby grade rc's with the basic parts. Nice baja though, I will be investing in a 5th scale this year hopefully, so this video is useful to know, thanks hybrid 👍👊

[@wesleymorgan7894]

Something be cool to do on ur KZbin channel would be take Baja on road have someone follow with car with you in passenger seat driving the Baja down a public road lol

[@dominicdunham2586]

I think u have a bday around this time yes no? Happy day to you bro

[@hybrid32494]

Hey bro yes you’re right my birthday was just yesterday thanks for the mention. See you on the next one and let’s keep gas and Nitro alive.

[@skycorrigan6511]

Did HPI release the 5B yet? I thought it was, but I only see it for pre order

[@hybrid32494]

hey dude! HPI has re-released a version of the Baja, you're right. Unfortunately it's its a KIT without motor and no electronics. The price of the new baja kit is more than any rovan baja at this point also. Quite Sickening if you ask me, lol..

[@VNW21]

Gas=Nitro both kings

[@hybrid32494]

you got the right IDEA my dude! Thanks for checking out this video!! Some awesome runs on this baja will be out soon.

[@seanmcduffie8612]

Where are you located? I’m in Long Island, New York.

[@wesleymorgan7894]

There are upgraded black dampeners or you can go solid steel get rid of the dampeners

[@hybrid32494]

hey dude, good point on the optional upgraded dampeners. I was not aware of them while making this video and only wanted to make it drivable for the cheapest amount. So far these ones are holding up very well.

[@wesleymorgan7894]

@@hybrid32494I did alittle digging when I found out about the upgraded dampeners definitely going be waiting for more KZbin videos

[@wesleymorgan7894]

Thank you for showing gearing chart I never new about the chart

[@hellfire08]

Sick

[@miraclo3]

amazing

[@josephwatkins2335]

does sweet doughnuts 🍩!!!!

[@carltondixon8539]

Would have been nice to see a proper speed run

[@daniely30]

Costing trillions in damages to that grass field 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@hybrid32494]

ahahaha, yes bro!! My Zenoah 27CC tried to KILL that field!! The slick tires don't hook up at all in the grass so that was my version of trying to SAVE THE FIELD< ahah!!

[@lotuse420]

bro i wish i knew you where doing this i would have sent you better stuff also i have a set of mitter tires i dont use will fit that

[@allwayzactive4599]

That thing looz like a rovanhpikingmoter

[@robbieroberts2372]

Taco Bell s uck

[@hybrid32494]

I'm going to have to disagree. Taco Bell never has the amount of typos and poor grammar like you my dude! This channel is fueled by Nitro & Taco Bell along with good grammar.

[@benjaminmartinez7982]

I'm super stoked to see you out those parts to use and having a OG Baja running again
