Thx for the great vid Nolan that’s awesome you got 45 out of stock gearing. Nice rig
Thanks! The speeds not bad at all
Dang I was close, great little video bud !!
Excellent weapon choice Nolan😊😎 I Guessed 43mph
Nice of you to share Nolan💯🤩😎
Good guess! Glad you liked it!
Sweet looking RC and awesome run, have a great weekend brother
Thanks bro! You too!
@@RCKnockout 🙂👍
Not bad at all. Nice run👍
Thanks! Yeah it’s not bad at all
That’s cool looking RC. Looks like it’s a beast. I just picked up a used eBay special VLX slash 2nd for another project. It’s my first slash. Paid $140 for it with no controller. I had an extra. It has some wear but it runs good. Been looking over your series for ideas.
Awesome man! I highly recommend the Slash! 2wd or 4wd model?
2wd - came with Proline Rear shocks, a-bunch of new aluminum parts for it , and two bodies.
Absolutely Epic
Epic 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I have two of each traxxas nitro 😂 they all still work I’ve been bashing and racing for like 25 years I quit smoking so I have to have something to do with my hands
Probably better for your health overall lol
Awesome for a 29cc! May I recommend the Rovan 2 speed transmission? Pain to install (diff comes apart), but imagine having faster out of the hole, and maybe 10+ mph on top end- all with the same motor/pipe! And the sound of slamming second gear is too cool! I have 2 speeds on 3 of my fifth scale gassers.
Glad you liked it! I personally prefer having a single speed for bashing….if I did exclusively on road, I’d definitely consider it though 👍😉
Awesome 👍👍👍
Thanks!
Awesome
Chique baja 🏎💥💨🥰👍🏻
That's just freaking awesome ❤❤❤ fast 🥳
Yeah it’s pretty quick!
@@RCKnockout thx for the reply 🥰🥰🥰🥳
For any Baja owners- the best power bang for the buck is a Rovan 45cc by far! Drops right in. Gear WAY up, watch it go wheels up the entire length of the field (80+ yards at my field), and certainly over 50mph. And that was with a way too small 30cc pipe! They make a true 45cc pipe now. Or keep your engine and add the 2 speed. 2 speeds around $230, 45cc is around $280, either one will blow you away!
Good to know! Thanks for the insight! 👍😉
Nice I love this car...
Thanks! It’s an Awesome Buggy!
@@RCKnockout I wanna buy a RC car like this, i want it to be a Baja 5 not sure what type to buy is this a Baja 5B ! are there other models and what is your recommendation for me if i like to go all in.
@@Soren_Caique_xD yeah it’s a Baja 5b….it’s a great machine….I’ve had a lot of fun with it…definitely recommend it!
I thought because of the Monster energy graphics it would do 46mph 🤦♂️ lol! I'm gonna switch to Rockstar 😂👍 I like the black. I have a all black 5b I call black beauty... ✌️😎👍
Lol 😂
Who’s to say maybe it would have gone slower without the Monster Body lol 😂
I have a 5t 2.0 but I also want a buggy should have gotten a rovan when it was 300 bucks now it’s over priced do you think hpi Baja 5b is better than the rovan I might get the hpi for the name since the price is now similar,thanks for the video
I do think that the authentic HPI is better overall but the Rovan and King Motor machines do seem to be alright quality too…..I’ve used a lot of their parts when authentic parts were hard to find
How much is a new, unstarted HPI Baja 5 b in the RTR D Box 2 version worth today?
Honestly I’m not sure…they started making the Baja in a kit again so that would probably have an effect on the price
what about the 2 speed OR 3 speed conversion kit.. ? i recon it'd be a lot faster :)
Yeah it would be a lot faster but for bashing the single gear is gonna do much better
At some point will you get a nitro? Like an Hpi savage or a tmaxx? 2 stroke gas is cool too
If I did l would probably buy a T-Maxx or a Slayer Pro
@@RCKnockout they’re both decent rigs
I had a T-Maxx nitro 15 years ago, I would have kept it if I had a full time
Mechanic on staff to keep it running LOL
Lol…..I’ve never had a nitro but they sound like a bit of a pain to deal with
@@RCKnockout everyday you have to tune on it. It will never simply “run”
Day after day
@@arcaderacer586 yep sounds like a pain lol 😂
Ive been so tempted to buy one but whats stopping me is why are they so slow and unresponsive? I guess Im just not used to gas powered RC's as Ive never owned one. Can you gear them up easily enough? They look absolutely unreal but just too slow to what Im used to. Great video btw, I really enjoyed it.
Glad you enjoyed it! You can gear it up but the acceleration will take a hit…it’s never gonna be as responsive as a brushless rc… but the engine sounds can’t be beat
@@RCKnockout Yes indeed mate, They sound and look soooo good. Does HPI also make a Desert Racer version? Or is that Losi ?
@@Top-Jimmy that would be the Traxxas UDR….but Losi does make a desert 1/5 buggy and a 1/6 Losi Super Baja Rey Trophy truck
Just a guess but by seeing the background I'm guessing your from the Midwest too lol
Good guess lol 😂
Dude mines running a 30.5 engine and it wheelies if I don't let off half throttle. Lol
That sounds pretty cool 😎
can you buy these new ready to run cant find em
I don’t think you can as a rtr….but HPI just released them as a Builders kit
45mph is great for stock gearing i would have guessed around 40 - 45 even though it has a different motor. I think these gas vehicles are pretty cool but i might stay on electric since it's less work and it's mostly cheaper. But that's just my opinion i still think gas rc's are cool and i wish i had the space and money to run one.
Yeah it’s not bad at all! It definitely is easier to run electric machines….less hassle than gas
@@RCKnockout I agree it is easier to run electric rc's vs gas. But i don't think Nitro compares to gas or electric when it comes to maintenance and running.
@@cjchannel12RC yeah nitro sounds like a pain to tune….maybe at some point I’ll try it out myself though
Nitro isn’t as bad as people think. If you don’t know how to tune them it may be difficult to operate but if you know how to tune them and your getting the best out of your nitro and if it has a flawless tune it’s so much fun ;) I have 3 nitros an Hpi savage x 4.6, tmaxx 2.5 with a 2.5r engine, and a nitro slash 3.3 unfortunately the tmaxx and savage never got time to get tuned properly because I always broke something before getting to the tuning :(
I thought it was pointless getting nitros in the past when I didn’t know how to tune them and thought I had to constantly mess around to get it running but after I was taught more about them I got more nitros and to be honest tuning them is very easy (with most nitros) u just turn the highspeed needle clockwise to lean it if it’s too rich 1/8 of a turn at a time or if it’s too lean turn it 1/8 of a turn anticlockwise to richen it (same with the low speed needle
A little rich
Yeah it might have been a bit rich 👍😉
cc bro?
29cc
I would fix my clutch it should work better than that 😮
I have one I’ll smoke that garb
HPI Vorza Flux on 6s power 121mph.
That’s impressive!
No it's not at all
they come with 23cc ....not 26 cc,wel i never seen one anyway.
Yeah all the newer ones have 26cc fuelie engines
Throw some 19/55 gears in it, got 50 mph with mine…
Thanks for the tip! Not really needing more top end speed though
Guessing 42 ?! 🤷🏻♂️🤔
Good guess
45
Good guess!
44
Good guess
