Baja 5R 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302 #115123
Brutal Strength. Extreme Power. Massive Fun!
LARGE-SCALE MUSCLE CAR EXCITEMENT!
The Baja 5R On-Road takes the HPI Baja concept to all-new places: right to the streets! With a lowered suspension designed purely for on-road action, the Baja 5R is the perfect way to enjoy large-scale fun while burning up the pavement! The iconic 1970 Ford Boss Mustang is the perfect fit for the rear-wheel drive large scale chassis, and the vintage 8-spoke wheels and Tarmac Buster tires are the ideal match for the Baja 5R's classic muscle car looks! The suspension and drivetrain is based on the extremely tough off-road Baja 5B race buggy, so you know the on-road version will be super-tough in any situation, plus it will be very easy to find spares and upgrades. The Fuelie 23cc engine will give the Baja 5R wheelspinning power and enough top speed to make your pulse race! The Baja 5R On-Road: Baja-tough tarmac performance!
The first thing to hit anyone who watches a radio-controlled car in action is how it looks - how realistic it is, how big it is and how it drives - and in the case of the Baja 5R, it quite simply looks amazing! Its size and speed, combined with the sound of the engine and exhaust smoke, all combine for an experience you must see for yourself. We've taken the classic muscle car styling of the 1970 Ford Boss Mustang and made it 1/5 scale - turning the Baja chassis into an amazing model almost 1 yard/meter long! Matched with satin chrome vintage-style wheels, the overall look is absolutely stunning - this really is a case of "the bigger, the better"!
ON-ROAD BAJA PERFORMANCE
Large-scale fans immediately took to the Baja line-up from HPI Racing when it was introduced, and RC hobbyists looking for something new and BIG have loved every version of the Baja since it was released. With the Baja 5R dedicated on-road version of our hugely popular Baja 5B off-road buggy, large scale RC fans have a whole new reason to love the Baja! A specialized set of suspension parts lowers the front and rear of the chassis to make it ideal for on-road driving, and the soft rubber of our realistic Tarmac Buster on-road tires enhance the handling and make driving the Baja 5R a total blast!
NEW DEDICATED ON-ROAD PLATFORM
The Baja 5R isn't a simple conversion - it's not just a buggy with a car body fitted onto it. The 5R features a complete set of all-new on-road specific parts, from the main aluminum chassis to most of the suspension parts, to make it a real performer on any paved surface!
NEW ON-ROAD CHASSIS
To start with, the Baja 5R's 4mm thick aluminum main chassis features zero front kick-up, instead of the angle at the front of the chassis on the buggy and truck versions. Off-road vehicles need a front kick-up angle for optimal performance off-road, but for on-road vehicles a much lower angle is best.
LOWERED & OPTIMIZED SUSPENSION
The on-road optimization continues with the suspension parts such as the shocks, mounts and hub carriers. The Baja 5R's short rear shocks are shorter than the 5B, 5T and 5SC - in fact, they're the same as the front shocks, so you get equal-length shocks front and rear. Brand new front and rear shock mounts are fitted to the Baja 5R - when paired with the brand new front and rear hub carriers, these parts act together to lower the suspension and provide the best possible handling when you're driving on the road. The Baja 5R is also fitted with front and rear adjustable sway bars to minimize chassis roll in the turns for the best possible performance.
NEW BODY, MOUNTS AND BUMPER
The brand new 1970 Ford Boss Mustang body is molded from a single piece of polycarbonate, professionally painted and stickered, then fitted with a functional rear wing just like the full-size Boss Mustang! To securely fit the body in place, new adjustable front and rear body mounts hold the body in place, plus side mounts from the Baja 5T/SC truck kits are used for extra body rigidity. Finally, the all-new extra-thick, extra-dense front foam bumper is mounted to a super-thick new plastic bumper mount that protects the body when you're racing your friends.
