Please Note:
This kit comes without an ESC, Motor, Servo, Battery, Charger, or Transmitter and will come with an unpainted body that may require cutting, painting and drilling.
The HPI Baja 5B Flux Self Build Kit (SBK) lets you build the legendary 1/5 scale electric RC buggy from the ground up. Powered by up to 8S LiPo, the brushless-ready platform delivers speeds of over 50 miles per hour. The 4mm thick 6061 aluminum monocoque chassis, viscous torque differential, all-metal drivetrain, and extra-long adjustable HD shocks make this one of the most durable large-scale RC buggies available. The kit includes a Flux-specific clear polycarbonate body and 3-piece beadlock wheels with metal hex hub inserts, ready for your custom racing scheme.
Note
This body shell comes completely unpainted and may or may not require body post holes to be drilled. Only use a polycarbonate-style paint such as the Tamiya PS series to finish this body — standard paints will not adhere and/or may cause damage to the body shell's surface.
The narrow channel chassis made from rigid 4mm 6061 aircraft aluminum and gives the HPI Baja 5B FLUX a classic desert racing buggy look and extreme stiffness and durability. The U-shaped chassis is protected at the rear with a thick plastic skid plate for extra protection to the motor and drivetrain.
Building an HPI SBK (Self Build Kit) not only gives you the joy of assembling your own custom vehicle - you also have the opportunity to fit your own electronics package as you go! Whether you buy all-new components or use electronics that you already have on hand, the HPI Baja 5B FLUX is ready and waiting for you to go wild!
Specially constructed high-impact nylon 3-piece bead lock wheels are included, featuring NEW inset heavy-duty metal hex hub inserts for massively increased wheel durability. The contrasting beadlock ring is bolted onto the wheel with 20 screws to securely hold the tire in place. No glue is used to mount the tires, which makes changing the tires quick and easy and the wheels can be used again with brand new tires.
The legendary HPI Baja 5B Viscous Torque Control differential delivers the power to the rear wheels with smoothness and precision. The differential can be easily tuned by using differential oils of various thicknesses. The metal alloy diff case is finned for extra heat dissipation and to keep the internal gears firmly in place. The diff outdrives or cups are machined from hardened metal for reliable performance in all conditions. The internal gears are also made from hardened metal to handle 8S power, big-air jumps and huge top speeds!
The HPI Baja 5B SBK's Big Bore shocks are designed for maximum performance and durability. These long-stroke shocks feature heavy-duty construction, dual-rate springs, and threaded bodies for precise tuning and consistent control on any terrain.
