BUILD THE ULTIMATE 1/5 SCALE Baja 5SC SS, BUILD THE NEW Baja 5SC SS!
The exciting Baja 5SC SS gets the SS treatment! HPI is proud to announce the latest addition to the Baja line-up, the Baja 5SC SS.
Like the rest of the SS line, the Baja 5SC SS comes as an unassembled kit that you get to build from the ground up. But we don't
stop there; the Baja 5SC SS is equipped with all of the high performance goods in the box, right down to a clear SC-1 body that
you can paint just the way you want for a truly custom truck. The powerplant has been upgraded to the high performance Fuelie 26s
engine, coupled to the optional aluminum tuned pipe with steel header. Combined with the 8,000 RPM clutch, the Baja 5SC SS has
some serious grunt to help it propel to speeds in excess of 40MPH! We have also included the stock muffler if you feel like
quieting things down a bit. Traction comes from the high performance and extremely sticky HB Rodeoo tires mounted on the new TR-10 wheels.
HIGH PERFORMANCE 26CC TWO-STROKE ENGINE
The Fuelie 26S is a high performance version of the Fuelie 26 engine.
It uses an 8,000 RPM clutch and a special 0.7mm piston ring for less
friction and quicker throttle response. A high capacity dual-element
air filter keeps the engine running clean even in grueling off-road
conditions, quick-change design for easy maintenance. Air cooled with
built-in fan for consistent running temperatures. Fully adjustable
carburetor with primer and kill switch. Aluminum tuned pipe with heavy
duty steel header included!
MORE Powerful 26S Engine
The Fuelie 26S CC engine is a powerful 2.9HP engine which revs out at 15,000rpm max, features a 12.7mm carburetor and aluminum construction.
Aluminum Tuned Pipe Included
The header is made from large diameter steel tubing for extra strength. The stinger design is optimized for a perfect fit in the Baja rear cage.
8,000 RPM Lightweight Clutch
This lightweight racing clutch combined with the heavy duty spring gives the 5SC SS a powerful launch at high RPMs for faster acceleration!
The wide Short Course body is the first thing you'll notice about the Baja 5SC SS: it's more realistic than the Baja 5T body and it fits completely over the new wheels and tires to let you take corners deep, run the competition wide coming out of the corner and really bang together with other trucks! The Baja 5SC SS body comes clear, allowing you to give it a truly custom look to call your own.
For high traction on a variety of dirt surfaces, HB Rodeoo tires are standard equipment on the Baja 5SC SS. The asymmetric tread pattern mirrors the design of full-size off-road racing tires. The sticky rubber compound, block treads and wide grooves give the right mix of sliding and gripping. Concentric rings on the sidewalls give extra grip if things get really hairy! Bold new 10 spoke wheels (TR-10) using heavy duty beadlock rings add to the realistic Short Course looks of the Baja 5SC SS.
The final touch in completing the scale look of the Baja 5SC SS is a new set of bumpers that allow you to give your fellow racers a 'love tap' without risking a major incident. The bar-style front and rear bumpers look great and, along with the mud flaps, add that extra bit of Short Course realism!
New rear hubs have been added for increased durability and easier adjustment of the toe-in setting. The new hubs are lighter weight and allow toe-in adjustments of 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 degrees to help match the truck performance to track conditions.

Because of the ever-increasing power demands of Baja owners around the world, and the constant desire to cram as much power in the
Baja chassis as possible, we've added all-new SUPER Heavy Duty drivetrain parts that will make sure the Baja 5SC SS can handle extreme
conditions and massive power!
Super Heavy Duty Drive Shafts
All-new extra-thick 9mm dogbones are the starting point of the 5SC drivetrain upgrade - these are new, thicker and stronger to outlast the roughest rides and racing action you can find! New wider rubber boots are included to keep the dirt and mud away.
Super Heavy Duty Diff Shafts
Getting the power from the diff gears to the new dogbones is a wider diff shaft that perfectly fits the increased diameter of the dogbones.
Super Heavy Duty Drive Axles
Getting the power to the wheels are new Super HD drive axles, which fit the thicker dogbones.
To keep in sync with the new super heavy duty drivetrain, the Baja 5SC SS also
comes with new Heavy Duty front wheel hubs. These new axles utilize a screw
and nut design that eliminates the previous use of an e-clip, which furthers the
reliability of the truck.
Unique in the world of large-scale racing, the HPI Viscous Torque Differential
gets the power to the rear wheels as smooth as silk. It's easy to tune with
optional diff oils and is fully fitted with hardened metal gears and an alloy case.
From the input shaft and idler gear to the alloy-encased differential, every
gear inside the sturdy Baja 5SC SS transmission is made from long-life alloy to
keep your truck running all day long with minimal maintenance.
The awesome Baja suspension really comes into its own with long-stroke
VVC/HD shock absorbers and high-sidewall truck tires, letting the tires do
their business whether you're driving over rutted-out whoops or flying over
a big tabletop!
VVC/HD shocks deliver improved handling over rough terrain and feature
large 6mm diameter shock shafts for increased durability. Threaded shock
bodies are used for easy adjustment of ride height.
Steel/aluminum hybrid brake rotors and semi-metallic brake pads handle
braking duties, while a special venting system keeps the brakes cool for
consistent stopping power.
For runtimes of up to 45 minutes, the Baja 5SC SS fuel tank holds up to 700cc of
pre-mixed fuel - that's over half a liter! And just in case you clip a track barrier
and flip over, the tank is equipped with a 'clunk' device that allows the engine
to continue running even if the truck is resting on its roof.
The hi-torque SFL-11MG servo features extra tough all metal gears for
durability, an aluminum steering arm and a water resistant case.
An enclosed radio box keeps water and dirt away from the 2.4GHz receiver
and receiver battery. The on/off switch and recharging jack are sealed with
soft rubber plugs for additional protection. To keep up with those long runtimes,
a high capacity, long lasting, 3000mAh Ni-MH rechargeable receiver pack
comes standard from the factory. It comes prewired with a separate charging
lead for easy access charging with the included wall charger for that ultimate
all-in-one package!
The Baja 5SC SS SS has full-length dirt guards to keep mud, rocks and water out of
the main chassis area. The guards continue all the way to the engine and help
keep cleaning time to a minimum. And, mud flaps on the rear bumper add to
the realistic Short Course appearance.
The Baja 5SC SS follows the HPI innovation of upgraded 'Super Sport' models that feature kit versions of popular HPI RTR models, with additional
option parts added to enhance the enjoyment of your kit. A long list of option parts are included with the SS version of the Baja 5SC SS. As you build
the kit, you add in the options that come in the box, and add your own radio gear (receiver, throttle servo, and receiver battery). As with all HPI cars
and trucks, you get a full, in-depth instruction manual with step by step instructions that allow you to easily disassemble and reassemble your truck
for maintenance and easy servicing. The HPI RC Car DVD is your personal RC car expert in a box!
