We Upgrade The Baja 5b!

I get the BAJA 5B ready for some rc videos, and do a big shake down, at Striktly Sidwayz in mississauga ontario canada. I refill the shocks and fit a kill switch to avoid any scariness when running such a heavy car with no driver aboard. Subscribe to KPOPRC for more fifth scale Fridays

Reefs is the Shizle for servos. I hear people say they’re to expensive, but those people are usually replacing their servos every 2-3 months! (Knocks on wood) I have yet, the need to to even repair (added bonus of full replacement gear kits for almost all their servos) any of my Reefs servos & my oldest one has been beaten on for almost 5years now. Wicked video bro! I don’t care how much anyone is into electric? There’s nothing like a good running gas powered RC! 👌👍 Thanks for sharing dude! 🍻 to 🍺🍺🍺🍺

[@kpopRC]

buy cheap buy twice! ha ha! the servos are top quality. and the fifth scale servos are just insane. we're running it on half the voltage basically. and it's still stupid fast. thanks for commenting and watching dude!

[@davehughes2687]

Dude!!.my brand new hpi 5b arrives today.. can't wait to start the build....boom...

[@fcbaker65]

Gotta luv the Baja ,because it luvs to drift!..👍 It just shows how this iconic low budget Baja can give you so fun!..😎

[@_is300mj__7]

[@JIPPERR_1]

[@garethbendall2490]

[@blacksheeprc8113]

Love when your videos drop bro. Great quality man. Keep up the good work

[@davehughes2687]

I really want one.... badly!!... Great video dude..😊

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

Looks like good times. 👍😎

[@Punny1234]

Awesome video man. Keep the large scale gas cars burning buddy...just awesome, love it.

[@PeterPeer]

That car is sooo super cool. Just started RC'ing with a 1/16th scale. But one day......

[@SiddonWatson]

Never seen that killers Switch before fascinating

[@nikolus24]

Never forget the tuna stick when playing with gas cars😂. Great content man keep up the awesome work

[@bluegroovemodelsports9650]

Great video. Glad to see other getting a go at the 1/5 gas hobby. Good stuff

[@ShiftRPS13]

Thing is dope! Might have to grab that rovan ive been eyeballing

[@noisy_boi_fpv_3920]

Sweet tune

[@Ghostworks999]

I bet my boi would have whipped that rear end out in the dirt for sure looking forward to some more 1/5scale hoonin 👌

[@CliffLaLonde]

Making 5th scale gas great again!!!

[@VS666]

ah man I remember lusting after the 5B back when it was still in production. i know better now, my electric 5th scales can be a handful with maintenance but the gas is a rewarding and unique experience. i'd love to run a 5B on the beach with paddles that would be a showstopper for sure!

[@djapothecary]

Dope as AF! I hope to some be the equivalent 1/8th tuner to your 1/5th prowess! Cheers to beers 🍺🍺

[@rjsv1000s]

We can’t forget limiting straps.

[@meudrone4k369]

Sou fã da linha baja 🏎💥🔥💨🥰💪🏼👍🏻

[@RCanybody]

Thank you for your professional share! Perhaps you will review the new car from Rlaarlo? MAYBE the new product？

[@187jaded]

so sick

[@thelowlife710x3]

damn i need to shave LOL great seeing you man seeing you soon

[@kanenstuff]

Can you drill the holes out so you can use a thicker oil?

[@Gravestone1993]

Silicone shock oil in HPI Baja shocks will ALWAYS leak. They're designed for mineral oil only

[@bluegroovemodelsports9650]

KPOPRC. I like tgat big aluminum wheel wrench you use on your 1/5 . Do you know what brand it is ?

[@jameselliott9397]

Question. We are a Rovan Dealer. Would you rather buy a Pre-Assembled car, or a Kit Car to put together yourself? (Parts like engine and carb would be assembled).

[@BlueSmokeRC]

Dude! We need an angle kit for the Baja! I can't use CAD to save my life otherwise I would do it myself

[@kpopRC]

yeah you can see the "BIG D" build on fb right now.. that's going to be high angle gas drift baja.

[@BlueSmokeRC]

@@kpopRC you got a link? I need to know more!

[@jameselliott9397]

Where did you get those tires?

[@rjsv1000s]

Oops…. Note to self…. Watch the vid before commenting.

[@brandont65]

Does the muffler help with low end power? If so, I'm getting one. My cheap tuned pipe is loud and real peaky

[@kpopRC]

with the 32cc engine and the muffler, we're having no issues loosing traction on the low end. lots of low end grunt.

[@blueballs5150]

What’s a good website to order parts/upgrades/killswitches for the 5th scales?

[@kpopRC]

Dave’s discount motors

[@blueballs5150]

@ thanks

[@daylightdies7194]

I’m looking in to a rovan Q shorty but electric not petrol simply because there’s no way I could get away with it where I am and that’s a shame

[@kpopRC]

all good man. rovan is subpar plastic and metal. just a heads up. rovan never made it around our track for more than 2 laps before something snapped, plastic has way too much glass fiber (makes it cheaper for cloners) so sharp itll cut you.

[@scalebuildersguild]

TERRIFYING 😂

[@dirk5706]

Too bad i can only give 1 👍

[@SiddonWatson]

You took off a good pipe to put on that pipe okay

[@kpopRC]

big pipe doesn't mean more power. this pipe was more noise than power. maybe if we had a ported top end, or a reed motor. but these motors are already so efficient that you may actually be LOOSING power! Also this isn't a 4wd platform. peaky top end is not good for this car. there is a reason all winners of the 5b class were running this "can" pipe.

[@zedtap4528]

If think that baja is fun go try a brushless conversion there is no comparison mine 8s and its stupid power

[@kpopRC]

agreed! be great to have one electric!

[@enaliospearfishing]

i miss my baja they stole it from me
