Sick Vid check out my Channel

[vikkiandbradley07]

looks and sounds no faster then my 23cc zenoah stock engine

[wordreet]

Now although I'll always prefer electric powered cars for my own use, this thing does not let itself down at all. Man it's rapid! It would be so easy to drive it out if range in a place like that. do you lock the diff for sand driving?

[nzbaja5bss]

@wordreet Thx, I use stock ss diff.

[wordreet]

@nzbaja5bss I just watched the phatdadbaja5t diff build videos, and I see that's just a normal spider gear type diff. I was thinking that you might get more control during wheelies on sand if the diff was locked. You don't really need a diff on sand, and can put more power down. But you will get more understeer though. Just thinkin out loud really. You could refill the diff with heavy oil to get a limited slip effect. Good luck with that beast anyhoo. :¬)

awesome!!! i really want a Gas-Powered RC Car but they are VERY expensive i hear, but i do have this really awesome all-terrain automatic suspension and it is battery-powered but it's BAD ASS! man it's super fast and it can smah into almost anything and still drive like it never even was touched! i like it, the Remote for it says it's called the ''rally stomper'' and the frequency is 49 MHZ but it's really awesome and it was worth somethin like 50$ great deal tho!- good driving :)

[FPSgamer0024]

fail 0:57

[nzbaja5bss]

@FPSgamer0024 Yeah LOL!!!!! Im out of control.

[TheUnDeRGRouNDHoBo]

[austin3013]

Nice camera save

[arnoldaszlt]

so cool sand field! ;)

[jake16542]

That had to be over $1000 no doubt

[mroshfosh]

That's like a 2000$ car sweet man

[turtleswag11]

How much was that

[nzbaja5bss]

@turtleswag11

Sorry I dont know, it's lots money.

[il0veloti0n]

@turtleswag11 i think it was like $800 at hobbytown

[cheeseisgolden]

@turtleswag11 with some mods probably 1,500 to 2,000

[Albchef]

Bad tone because of the wind



[manwithair]

wouldnt that get sand all in the motor?

[Raydee]

I love the sound of that pipe, I have one on the way for my 5SC.

[nzbaja5bss]

@Raydee

Cheers thanks mate

[TheRussians120]

@Raydee Its not the pipe, Its because its a 1/4 scale

[Raydee]

@TheRussians120 The HPI Baja 5B is not a 1/4 scale.

[TheRussians120]

@Raydee Its a 1/4 scale motor sorry

[elitecssplayer]

You know what I hate?  Wind

[randomcrap705]

Hey I am wondering what your opinion is on the km 3.0 30.5 cc baja buggy pro aluminum setup vs the hpi baja 5b ss 26cc is the king motors crap if so what else could you recommend

btw how do you maintain your rc car is it alot of work

love your videos if you have time check out my newest one "Traxxas Slash 4x4 Platinum Snow Park Bashing"

[nzbaja5bss]

@randomcrap705

Hi, thanks for your positive feedback, I understd KM 3.0 have Alum setup is pretty heavier then HPI 5B. I would prefer HPI Baja 5Bss becos it's original first made before KM.

At the moment I running on TS/OBR 27.2cc Full Mod with long rod. Please go have a look my Y/T and type "nzbaja5bss"

I looked your Traxxas Slash on Snow!! Very good video!! BTW I have Traxxas Revo 3.3 and Nitro Sport 2.5. I dont used very much due Baja is far lot better. Cheers A

[thercpoop]

@nzbaja5bss dont use your nitros???? an't that true :) i forgot how to tune mine now :D

[Nesto885]

@nzbaja5bss I have a Hpi Baja 5bss and a Revo 3.3 Call me crazy but i like them the same. lol

Btw great video! sub

[pantelosta22]

@randomcrap705 i suggest you buy a king motor 30,5cc full aluminum RTR at the price of the HPI ss kit

and you will be happy with your purchase,whatever you break,you replace with aftermarket products,as you would normally do on a baja ss anyway.

go ahead,choose which chinese RC you want..the "real" one or the "clone"...

or maybe another dilemma ,,...the $1000 26cc plastic, 1 gear kit, or the $1050 30,5cc2speed full aluminum RTR.

the choice is yours..think!!

[nzbaja5bss]

@pantelosta22

I would stay away from the full aluminum for a few reasons. They cost more when bend or worn out, they weigh more, and they will just transfer crash energy to something else. Plaster is much cheaper to replace.

[jackarmando2]

they need to make dakar rc :D

[KezzBTS]

That is the best looking baja I have ever seen!!! Nice vid too!!

[nzbaja5bss]

@KezzBTS Thanks mate, There is some more video of Bethells Dunes and please type "nzbaja5bss" Cheers

[nzbaja5bss]

LOL that's ok. Glad you like my baja.

[ph1l15aw3s0m3]

[nzbaja5bss]

@ph1l15aw3s0m3

[Tupples1]

[nzbaja5bss]

@Tupples1 Thanks for your positive feedback.

[Tupples1]

does this thing have a lock diff.?

[nzbaja5bss]

@Tupples1

No Lock diff.

[sowrd409]

why cant you just get your own car like that and feel the real thing instead of spending so much money on an rc...

[nzbaja5bss]

@sowrd409 Lol, I wish.

[MASEK360]

@nzbaja5bss Can it do a backflip?

[CowManuer4Sale]

i am afraid if i ask how much this costs, it might spoil the fun of driving it

[Skeebled]

@CowManuer4Sale all i know is, that its over $1000....not cheap but super fun

[Johnnyboythe313]

wowo special tires

[Pansaonic]

Now with new youtube snow button i see snowflakes in the desert. lol

[ThePaintballz]

i love your car! also i am after some advice, if you wouldn't mind..... basically i have the standard baja 5b but with the jet pro v3 pipe, what parts would you recommend for me as i would like to improve performance/strength, but also some parts to help it look good (like yours!), do you have any ideas on what i could do?

[nzbaja5bss]

@ThePaintballz

[pilotplans]

Price???

[nzbaja5bss]

@pilotplans

There is many aftermarket parts and engine. I do not want know what the cost is. Cheers

[900impulsed]

That happened to me last year and it's because it's running a little to rich so it ain't burning all the fuel up

[nzbaja5bss]

@900impulsed

I would prefer slight rich. Thx.

[900impulsed]

Turn the carburater knob in a liitle bit

[nzbaja5bss]

@900impulsed Why?

[GustavoDubai]

Thank you!

[jet79637]

These engines stock are not all that wonderful, but yours seems to have been awakened.

[mental1903]

it looks like road runner coming from a far! ;)

[nzbaja5bss]

Yes I see in 20 sec look like white fluffly. I don't know what's that. LOL!

[BSuiTeS189]

Even sicker!

[BSuiTeS189]

if you pause it at exactly 1 minute 57 seconds and a half that is the sickest picture

[Straightsix76]

@BSuiTeS189 pause it at 2:03

[IwantAgopro]

Ive got a offroad 1/8 kyosho inferno st. That would be really cool to go there. My exams finish in 2 weeks so maybe i can go after that. Im not sure exactly when i can go, but i will let you know if i do end up going some time so maybe we can meet there. Did you drive ur baja up the really steep hills at the end of the dunes?

[IwantAgopro]

I went to bethels dunes a couple of weeks ago and thought that it would be fun to drive my rc car there, then i got home, went on you tube and found this video. Haha.

[nzbaja5bss]

@IwantAgopro Cheers thanks. Do you have Baja? if so we stall go there.

[Fekillix]

Sounds like a VERY annoyed CAT!

[benz1980i]

Sweet as mate. What is the white thing that moves from the bottom of the screen? Insect? Orb? There appears to be a slight black shadow before this in the middle of the screen. Haunted Dunes man lol

[nzbaja5bss]

@benz1980i Thanks, No insect & Orb there. Look like reflection from the sun. Cheers A

[benz1980i]
