I'm in love!

I know what my first 1/5 scale is going to be now.

What ever happened to the 5t?

What ever happened to the 5t?

Hopefully up and coming soon??? I'd really want a 5t, but i'd happily settle for a 5b if it was the only option.

I feel the same.

I had a original Baja Flux a few years ago, was a beast with a 2028 800kv on 8s

Well that looks pretty awesome!!

 

[KnowAir]

It sure does look pretty sweet! TBH, it looks like it always has? I wonder if it's truly any different than the one that @.AJ. posted?
I think I'd like it more in 4wd myself.
Unfortunately, built out, with batteries, this is more than I've spent on my 1:1.

Did you see a price somewhere? Or just anticipating?

EDIT: only found one website that posted £700 and "out of stock".

 

[BashingBrian]

UK stock, release date is 12-13 December
I may just have to pre-order one......

No, just an instigator, I'm sorry?

 

[Sandracer_NL]

looks awesome

EDIT:
I see the kit is around 10kg. Max5 combo?

 

[WoodiE]

It's also available in gas form too.

I built a Baja 5b back when they first came out. It is one of my favorite builds. It was a lot of fun.

First cars out in the real world.. ( I want one sooo bad )

Watched that vid yesterday after you started this thread. That car is sick.
It already has those nice light units, just needs some LED and it’s ready for some cool twilight running.

It does look pretty awesome! Hopefully it's not priced to the moon like the Savage and Vorza that were recently released..
Call me what you will, but paying more for an HPI than their competitors with the track record they have,nah. I'm not talking about the rigs themselves, but rather the instability of the company. Combine that with HRP being their distributor in the US? Look at how badly HRP has botched the Corally stuff. Out of stock for like 6 months, while available the whole time elsewhere in the world.
I'm happy for whomever gets one though

And there was me thinking HPI were an American brand, why such bad distribution in your own continent ??

I don't think HPI is american based? Not sure. @slick2500 , where you at? Slick knows. Rc-O'pedia he is!

Just without googling, i'm going to make a guess: 99% sure it's not.

Did I win the grand prize????

EDIT: BIG OOOF. I lost the game.

"HPI Savage is a line of radio-controlled monster trucks manufactured in Japan by Hobby Products International of Foothill Ranch, California, US."
