Finally!!! I've been wanting one of these since I got into the hobby. But here it is The Baja 5T!! It has a Jetpro Gargantuan Pipe, K and N airfilter and a few other good things. I ripped it up and down the street a few times and... MAN! Its got tons of power and speed! Love it. Well anyway heres some pics to prove it wasn't a dream...

Whoa! That's great. I'm still dreaming.

Holy crap that pipe looks like a small intestine!

Nice! I'm still dreaming for a 5B kit with the 29cc myself. May be dreaming for a long time as well. Congrats on your score

If HPI ever comes out with a 4wd version... I'll be all over it.

That's a mean looking rig though! Did you get a body with it?

Yea, 4wd makes everything more fun hahaha. But yea it comes with a Km Baja Bug body. (Looks like VW Beatle).

Congrats on the find/purchase. I'm not trying to pee on the parade here but just some advice from a baja owner myself. You might want to ditch that k and n air filter since their filtration aren't made for small engines. They allow more dirt to pass through for larger applications. The stock setup is pretty good but better if you add an outerwears or tgn outer filter. You also might want to get that rear diff checked for fluid. Hpi recommends changing the diff fluid every 10 tanks of fuel which is about 10 hours of run time. These machines will totally change your fun and outlook on the hobby and they're a lot more expensive to maintain when compared to their smaller counterparts. The diff alone if purchased as a complete unit could run you about 100 bucks.

While I strongly believe that K&N filters should not be used on nitro engines, the large scale engines might be able to better deal with them. That said I still agree with @srusinek in that I'd replace it with the stock filter as it actually does a VERY good job. Add a Outerwears pre-filter over the stock filter and you really have an unbeatable filter.

Other than that looks like a nice rig. Large scale really is a blast!

As of now, I've stripped a spur gear( replaced with a Hostile gear), relpaced the axle boots with the grey hostile ones, they seem alot tougher then the stock. And I put a outerwears cover on the pull start since it was giving me probs. I Plan on getting the Super Bee kill switch, outerwears all around and mabey some RPM stuff if anything breaks.

What else might you Reccomend for durabillity/preformance?

Thanks!
