SWAPPING a 7.5HP ENGINE into my HPI Baja 5B!!

[@glenhenning9261]

Very cool! Slidin' a bit on the street with those knobbys, your'e gonna love it with some street tires. I own 4 gassers, 2 set up for dirt, 2 set up for on road, 1 Baja has a 3 speed!

[@RCKnockout]

Glad you liked it! I prefer off road myself…it’s still fun to hop on the road once in a while though 👍😉

[@deku.m1505]

Love it man! that slightly new/modded engine really takes the cherry on the cake and she is ripping again. looking at the old worn clutch shoe(s) you can really see the heat coloration on one of the shoes. or well i should mention it's not something i see on my clutch shoes. she was slipping haha!

[@RCKnockout]

Thanks man! Yeah I’m looking forward to ripping it with the new motor! The old clutch was definitely cooked lol

[@Dingle-Berries]

I love these cars!! They're a beast when built right. Also you need a work bench in garage bro, crouching down on the ground for 5 hours working on the car, brutal.

[@RCKnockout]

They are great cars! You’re right, I definitely need a work bench….my back was done lol 😂

[@Soren_Caique_xD]

That is so nice I am really happy to see the Baja get some power back, I really like this car and it deserve a new and powerfull engine 💯% she sounds so good young and powerfull again....👌

[@RCKnockout]

Couldn't agree more!

Love my OBR 32cc Baja..

[@RCKnockout]

OBR engines are great!

more powahhh

Heck yeah!!

[@zaflashzach8011]

Hey so I was wondering what 3s LiPo’s you would suggest I get? I had HRB but the white cords keep breaking and won’t connect with the traxxas EZ-peak charger. I’d prefer not to get traxxas batteries because they are too expensive.

[@RCKnockout]

I like Hoovo and Ovonic batteries….they’re pretty cheap and work well

[@zaflashzach8011]

@@RCKnockout thanks! I was gonna try the hoovo batteries so thanks!

[@RCKnockout]

@@zaflashzach8011 you’re welcome 😉

[@kraftcraft2934]

Will that much power will the rear end handle that power tell me

[@RCKnockout]

Yeah it should….the diff is upgraded on this Baja though

[@AquariumAficionado]

Am I first👀 9:23 everybody’s worst fear Cross threading or stripping threads😣💀

[@RCKnockout]

Yeah it was unfortunate…but things happen

[@deku.m1505]

strip it back down to where you can access the bolt/screw, take a dremel with the circle blade/saw attachment and put a slit in the bolt/screw. this will heat up the bolt/screw in seconds AND creates a nice slit for a flat head driver.

[@RCKnockout]

@@deku.m1505 thanks for the tip!

[@zaflashzach8011]

Hey so sorry for asking again, but how long have your hoovo batteries lasted you?

[@RCKnockout]

No worries….they’ve lasted quite a while….I’ve had one that had a bad cell in it but the rest of them are still working

[@zaflashzach8011]

@@RCKnockout thank you!

[@zaflashzach8011]

@@RCKnockout do you use the EZ-Peak Live Traxxas charger? Because that’s the problem I’ve had with the batteries is the little white connector piece not working

[@RCKnockout]

@@zaflashzach8011 no I don’t use the Traxxas chargers

[@modykujoperez261]

Are they easy to work on

[@RCKnockout]

They’re not super difficult to work on….it all depends on what you have to access and replace
