This just put you in world-renowned status when it comes to RC collectors. I remember I was in college dreaming about owning one of these, looking at magazines, etc. I can buy whatever I want now, but I'm running out of space. A large gas RC is all I'm missing.
Hey my dude! I totally know what you mean, this was way outta my league back when they came out and I know for sure I dreamed about it too! IM lucky to have one on the channel now, I'll be honest with you man, the modern ROVAN models are very good and even better equipped than this real baja.
Hey man, thanks for checking out this sickening rare old Baja video! There will be a break-in and test drive part soon too. Imagine the reliability you would need to survive a 12 hour race like that, wow!
Hey man, thanks for checking out this sickening rare old Baja video! There will be a break-in and test drive part soon too. Yup, I learned the part about he Dumon Dunes myself while making this video, the Baja never fails to teach and surprise us ,lol.!!👍🏻👍🏻
That smell is so good! Every hpi at that time had that smell of quality plastic and rubber. Still have new in boxes baja’s and savage’s in my hobbyroom. Did work in a hobbyshop when these were new. Never got tired of the smell. 😁 We all know that rc is a sickness!
hey my dude! I see you know the smell of proper HPI plastic and rubber and some leaking oils, lol! nothing like it! Ill be sure to follow up with a proper break in soon!
@@voodootrucker I highly recommend you check out the other BAJA vids on the channel man if you have not. I got great vids on the clones also, they are very good and cheap fyi.
Awesome classic car! I have the 2.0 also the blue and white! The good thing about the clones it kept the baja alive! If not it would have died out when hpi went out of biz! The good thing you will never run out of parts for this vehicle! Great video with this classic 2stroke!
hey my dude! thanks for checking out the video!! I'll be sure to follow up soon with a proper first start and break-in then a good test run video, we will find out how Sickening the real OG baja truly was!!!
@@hybrid32494 You're the man bro, you know all the fitness memes. Remember when rich got busted eating that protein cookie by sara? Gotta hit that ben & jerrys at night, right! 5% nitro lockdown crew!
Wow what a find! I haven’t had a genuine hpi baja but I did have a rovan Baja. I’m getting another one for 2025! Too bad the stock battery was toast. I can’t wait to see it run in the next video. Nitrogang! Or should I say, gasgang? 😄
hey dude! thanks for checking out the vid! I must say the modern rovan Bajas are totally great, they have come a long way and are even better quipped than this original baja ever was. Gasgang baby!!!

hey brother! wow, the ver first one, this was the 5b 2.0 model. Basically just a different color scheme and revised exhaust and minor radio gear updates, the true go is the 23CC you the man!!!
Hi from UK 🇬🇧 still have mine from back in the day. Sadly unused for a long time. 😥 needs restoration and some TLC. Now I'm about to retire it will be a nice project.
hey bro. Yes, these are tough to come by in brand new condition, almost impossible really. Hope the viewers out here can relive the greatness as I have with the unboxing, the break in will be soon too!
@@hybrid32494 Yh for real, in my area in the uk there was one brand new the og with the orange body shell never been ran for cheap but i never taken it.. glad to see it

@@rcmania1146 It was on TH-cam because I did watch like two hours of it. I cannot believe that all the RC Companies can’t come together to put these endurance races on. It will absolutely promote the Hobby which in turn will make them all more money.
I’ve been an huge fan of the hpi Baja 5B & Baja truck since they first came out I have a original hpi Baja truck that i always joked about putting around 30k in upgrades into it just assuming and the funny thing is that the other day I was going through my cabinets and found the folder that I put every single receipt in for every single upgrade I did to my hpi Baja so I had finally sat down and added them all up and the total literally was $25,000 into a rc car
totally what I was thinking too. In fact I'm sure you know the FLUX model came out some years after the gas models, but they were a FLOP. I'd say true 1/5 scale successfull brushless models don't exist, and I don't really consider Arrma 1/5 scales for that segment either.
LOL, good ear! Actually that was my cat Sandy trying to jump on the computer while I was editing the audio. When he sees RCs moving on the screen he just has to get into the action too, ahah.
Hay my brother!!! I bet you’re happy with that score. That’s so nice man! How strange was that air filter? I can think what that was about 😂 Definitely looking forward to part two now👍👍👍
Actually... Traxxas did it first back in 1993 with the Moster Buggy. It was an assembled RTR with a Zenoah. Ahead of its time. HPI came later and advertised better
ahahaha, hey bro! Yes, that box was quite heavy and just an awkward large size for sure, plus I was trying to make it fit into the camera frame lol. I recorded this on the day the gym was closed, but I still got the lifting in! lol, literally. Baja gang lifting!
hey my dude! thanks for checking out the video!! I'll be sure to follow up soon with a proper first start and break-in then a good test run video, we will find out how Sickening the real OG baja truly was!!!
Hey man how you doing! happy nitro Saturday to you! Long as you got the VISION, we can do without the Smell, I'll tell you it smelled like some leaking oil and old HPI rubber, lol! Very nice scent!! Sickening really.
what up my dude!! Yes, 500 would have been a fair price for an original baja. Today you could get pretty good clones for that amount brand new too, and they are even better than the real ones used to be, in terms of engine specs and upgrades btw. But yes, it's best to know if they run, especially from a pawn shop.
hey man, thanks for checking out the vid! I guess you could say we have luck with different models you know. I've lost my fair share of RC deals over the years too so I know what you mean!
unfortunately I think he would disagree, and just try to kill it instantly, not gonna happen on this channel though. Hybrid takes these things seriously and would never mislead viewers for clicks. Love this channel.

thanks man, really appreciate that! That's always been my mission, to bring the cool and rare gas and nitro models to the people!! NitroGang!>
I didn't get the smell A vision juast a vision sickening.
Sickening Baja!!! Whooooha. That’s what I call a fantastic intro and video and amazing history and vintage

A 12 hour endurance race with Baja’s?! That sounds insane!
Hey man, thanks for checking out this sickening rare old Baja video! There will be a break-in and test drive part soon too. Imagine the reliability you would need to survive a 12 hour race like that, wow!
And I’m assuming driver swaps like a real race?
I used to go to Dumont Dunes every year for 5 years up until I moved. I never knew they filmed the 5B add there👍🤙👌👌

What a gem to find! Great unboxing too
thank my dude! Nothing like a true genuine HPI Baja!
Hell yeah brother glad my Baja 5sc is still unopened and factory sealed lol
hey man, o wow! Did you say 5SC, now that is 100% totally sickening for sure! I actually own a 5SC too, but not in very good shape.
That smell is so good! Every hpi at that time had that smell of quality plastic and rubber. Still have new in boxes baja’s and savage’s in my hobbyroom. Did work in a hobbyshop when these were new. Never got tired of the smell. 😁 We all know that rc is a sickness!

My favorite rc of all time besides the tmaxx!! Incredible video like always!
Smells like… VICTORY!
ahahah, hey man! I sure smelled the victory in this one! Nothing like a brand new 15+ year old smell of HPI Baja air directly from the box, lol..
@@hybrid32494 That buggy is beautiful bro I’ve never owned one but i sure want one now!
@@voodootrucker I highly recommend you check out the other BAJA vids on the channel man if you have not. I got great vids on the clones also, they are very good and cheap fyi.
@ Thanks brother i definitely will 🤘🏼
I can smell it too! Victory baby
Awesome classic car! I have the 2.0 also the blue and white! The good thing about the clones it kept the baja alive! If not it would have died out when hpi went out of biz! The good thing you will never run out of parts for this vehicle! Great video with this classic 2stroke!
Very nice sickening nitro awesome video 💯👌🤙🇬🇧
thanks man, more on this Baja soon. I got the battery all charged up now and break-in soon.
Never could afford one. Wife and kids and stuff. May get one this summer. Bad ass!!!

Sickening baja color way. 5% rarity, my boy rich piano was my favorite pianist. 💪🏼
major 5% club right here man!! RIP rich, the 8 hour arm workout will never die just like this Baja!!

@@hybrid32494 they really are great and well equipped. I regret selling the 30.5cc one I had. That’s why I need a new one!
I’m watching this on my vintage Samsung HD smellovision and let me tell you that box contains premium vintage Hpi goodness!
Great Baja there a lot of fun awesome 🤙💯👊

thanks man!! Glad to have you here!
That Endurance Race was Sic!!!!
I know right! We need more info on that endurance race.

Imagine people had this and then suddenly thought about inventing Brushless

How is that even possible? $25k USD?
@ it’s got two $7k apiece 71cc racing engines on it with superchargers etc

did someone open a snapple bottle at 1:58?
LOL, good ear! Actually that was my cat Sandy trying to jump on the computer while I was editing the audio. When he sees RCs moving on the screen he just has to get into the action too, ahah.
Great unboxing and a lot of interesting informations about the Baja.
Maybe you can ask HPI for permission upload the included DVD?
Hay my brother!!! I bet you’re happy with that score. That’s so nice man!
How strange was that air filter? I can think what that was about 😂 Definitely looking forward to part two now👍👍👍
😍😍😍
Awesome find brother one of my wish list to find a original Baja that isn’t trashed God Bless…Virgil
Sickening! 🦾🦾🔥
Super cool video and rare find especially in brand new condition.. thanks for sharing
Had 4 miss them all Thinking about getting another one
Actually... Traxxas did it first back in 1993 with the Moster Buggy. It was an assembled RTR with a Zenoah. Ahead of its time. HPI came later and advertised better
Hey Hybrid looks like you had to eat some wheaties and lift some weights before you picked that box up. Looks heavy.
ahahaha, hey bro! Yes, that box was quite heavy and just an awkward large size for sure, plus I was trying to make it fit into the camera frame lol. I recorded this on the day the gym was closed, but I still got the lifting in! lol, literally. Baja gang lifting!

Great video!
Wow what a car

GREAT VIDEO!!!!! did you buy that brother? That is a cool buggy!!!!
man legendary find
I built the ss 26cc kit in 2011 bro legendy rc bro
I've got the original orange one the 1st generation brand new still in the box
Badass machine!
Where did you find this?? Yours??
I still have all the original stock HPI Baja 5B SS...
Hpi baja 5b lives on,iconic, awesome,forever great ,sickening 👍 👌 😊😊
I didn't get the smell vision sick got the vision sickening
Hey man how you doing! happy nitro Saturday to you! Long as you got the VISION, we can do without the Smell, I'll tell you it smelled like some leaking oil and old HPI rubber, lol! Very nice scent!! Sickening really.
Is this yours
What's the backstory how did you get it
I have the HPI fifth scale electric flux
I almost bought one I found at a pawn shop. They wanted 500 bucks. But wouldn't let me start it and no returns
what up my dude!! Yes, 500 would have been a fair price for an original baja. Today you could get pretty good clones for that amount brand new too, and they are even better than the real ones used to be, in terms of engine specs and upgrades btw. But yes, it's best to know if they run, especially from a pawn shop.
@hybrid32494 do u sale any of ur nitros urs run cherry. Wish I lived closer I would go to the track
Thanks
Some guys have all the luck😂💯🔥
hey man, thanks for checking out the vid! I guess you could say we have luck with different models you know. I've lost my fair share of RC deals over the years too so I know what you mean!
