I have a 29cc Baja 5T and it's pretty fast with the right tuning, i have an 8000RPM clutch, 20 tooth pinion and 57 tooth spur with a tuned pipe and it drifts around fine, jumps fine, and it fast, i had to change the breaks because of the speed of them little things, i put hydraulic front brakes on to help it stop better, the amount of perfomance mods out there for these type of cars is unreal, i'll be getting a stuffed +2mm stroker crank bigger fuel lines, polished carb and ported head soon
its a 2-stroke , so for the first time, warm it up gently by driving it, max half throttle. Let it cool down fully, repeat the previous again. After warming it up for the 3d time its ready to rip. Break-in = setting the piston-rings to the cylinder. Idling the engine for 6 tanks is just a waste of fuel and time. ( not to mention carbon-buildup on the piston by not reaching optimum heat)
lol i remember 7 years ago when i got one of these, they were a lawn shredder to the grass in the park, just ordered the 5sc ss today, these are great ;)
Check your front wheel alignment make sure both wheels point streight ahead, you can alter the tracking by turning the track rod ends, they are the metal bars by the A arms with the flat spots on them so you can turn them with a wrench, also you might want to check the toe in angle on the back wheels, if one toes in more than the other it can cause it to pull to one side, you can also try turning the rear hub spacers 180 degrees to make the rear wheels streight.
the break in for the fulie engine that ive been told is run it easy for 1 tank then run it as you want is from some of the most well know modifiers for baja's that i know. idiling for 6 tanks is just a waste of fuel. also the 2 strokes for bicycles maybe a bit different too. like for nitro engines each manufacture has a different break in process for their engine. like hpi they have the ebst break in for their motor each company will be different from the last dealing with the break in proces
what does the air filter oil do? if you are going to take apart the pull start make sure you hold the parts in as the spring inside likes to shoot all the parts out and unwind itself making it really hard to put back together
Std. or upgraded clutch, both will stopp slipping between the 10-12k mark. Aftermarket clutch such as lauterbacher clutch will only improve smooth acceleration, not top speed.
After 10 mins of running... The engine stopped and now my pull start won't pull. I was running it in wet conditions. Did I maybe get dirt/mud inside... Idk
Yes actually i do know about 2-stroke engines. A stuffer crank can improve performance and strengh, but yes, it will not increese the top speed. If you run a stock clutch, it is more likely to slip inside the clutch bell, if you run a 4 shoe race clutch, then it is not likely to slip, therefore you will get better speed.
i up-graded my stock 26cc engine to a 30.5cc. If you want more power and acceleration then this is a vital up-grade. Also, By any chace, if anyone has a Kingmotor Baja 5B, Then you should up-grade the engine and carby any way. I have a KM and my engine and carby were, well, Shit. slow acceleration and very little top end speed. Apperently if you try to tune a kingmotor carby, the carby wont hold that possition for long. So if you are happy with the engine, then upgrade the carby
I cant believe HPI has stuck with that long wheel base for so long , I chopped 1" off my chassis and it no longer nose dives or loops out easily . Its not that the front end is too heavy , its that the weight is leveraged to far forward.. OHH and about 1" wider....Are you listening HPI?
It stops dirt from getting into your engine. If you don't put it on then you'll get dirt in your engine and the dirt will scratch the engine's walls leading to lack of performance and eventually complete engine failure.
Hi. I am looking for a replacement engine for my HPI RS4 EVO3 RTR. HPI PART # 15107 They are discontinued but doesn't someone have these engines? I would appreciate some direction. I bought it and it was supposed to be new. It came in a sealed box and was brand new stock. The engine blew. Not sure what happened. Needs a piton, sleeve and drive shaft. Too much money and parts not available. Anyone reading this with an idea for me let me know. I don't want to fit another engine in. Don't have the parts or the time.
The engine in a car may not be a small engine, but it still must be broken-in. So do the 2-stroke gas engines for bicycles they have in California. Those must be broken-in.
The fist day i got my Baja 5B, i reved the shit out of it. Didn't bother with the break-in process. I personally don't believe in it. It performs excelent, up to 110km/h and uses a tank of fuel in about 40 minutes. but i have a 30.5cc engine. Not the stock 23cc or 26cc depending on which kit you bought.
However, idling it for 6 tanks of fuel wouldn't hurt. However, I find it strange. The 2-stroke engines for bicycles require a break-in process. The Fuelie engines and others alike aren't much different. Why does the Fuelie get excused from the break-in process?
sreelal roy aliexpress. And here is a tip. Get a killswitch... and a better battery 3000 to 4600 mah is good!!!!. And!! Upgrade the steering servo.... jx 2060 is a good one and is pretty good for the money. And for gas!!! 40ml oil for 1L of fuel. And buy a good transmitter... i have a spektrum DX4C but there are cheaper ones. If you get these things my friend you are set!!! And!!!!! Better battery charger the IMAX B6 mini is prefect. Not the fake one butt the real one!! Check on youtube how to spot a real and a fake one. Have fun my friend!!!!!
mate 91% octane can be used on high compresion engine like the 30.5cc engine which need a different oil mix ratio 32.1 mix any thing under 91% octane will screw a expensive engine so use 91% or 95% thats if you can get it becasue our gas staions in the uk have 91% and thay have 97% octane in other places but my nearest sells 91% octane which is plenty for what i need for a 30.5cc engine upgrade for a lozi 5t
"There is no danger of over priming the engine" is HORRIBLY wrong!!! You can easy flood an engine by over priming. other than that this video is spot on. But that comment is waaaayyy wrong, don't over prime ever. Over priming will foul plug and cause huge headaches!!!
Seems like they totally disregarded the break-in process. A fat birdie told me to break-in a Baja's gas engine, let it idle for 6 tanks. That's what I call time consuming.
+dickvancock1 I also was like wtf, one gas tank of about 700ml and a "supposed" 2000mah battery last for 15 minutes powering 2 servos? But I also think he said FIFTY and not fifTEEEEEEEN
Do you know anything about 2 stroke engines? A 4 shoe clutch does not improve high rpm, and a stuffer crank actually decreases top speed. I don't believe 85kph, put a gps on it or use a radar gun, and you'll get no more than 70kph... If you're running stock gearing that is. Obviously top speed does depend on track/road surface and tire choice as some have a different diameter, so don't point out the obvious mate. Good luck getting 110kph...
there really isnt a break in rocess. and its not idiling 6 tanks of fuel. for the first tank you run it less then 3/4 throttle and very the entire tank. after that just run it like ya stole it.
WRONG!! There is one danger issue with over priming the engine, and that is if the intake of the cylinder is open and you prime it full then pull the cord. Most unlikely to happen but it can. Then you can actually bend the piston shaft! If unlucky.
I never said it definitely goes 110km/h, i said i could go up to 110km/h. Im running a stuffer crank and a lauterbacher 4 shoe racing clutch. My engine would maybe reach 85km/h but i have never cheked the actual performance of it. It also depends on what tyres your running and what conditions your running the baja on. If you use slicks and your on dry road then you willget a higher speed than if you were using dirt buster on grass or dirt. So when did you learn to troll fuck flaps
Old video material, but still all these HPI video's are one of the best instructional video's ever.
I wish they would return the old version of the baja with the purple parts and nice orange body cover
I have a 29cc Baja 5T and it's pretty fast with the right tuning, i have an 8000RPM clutch, 20 tooth pinion and 57 tooth spur with a tuned pipe and it drifts around fine, jumps fine, and it fast, i had to change the breaks because of the speed of them little things, i put hydraulic front brakes on to help it stop better, the amount of perfomance mods out there for these type of cars is unreal, i'll be getting a stuffed +2mm stroker crank bigger fuel lines, polished carb and ported head soon
Good but you should have a 54t spur gear with that pinion, oterwise it won't fit or you make a mistake here at describe it
its a 2-stroke , so for the first time, warm it up gently by driving it, max half throttle. Let it cool down fully, repeat the previous again. After warming it up for the 3d time its ready to rip. Break-in = setting the piston-rings to the cylinder. Idling the engine for 6 tanks is just a waste of fuel and time. ( not to mention carbon-buildup on the piston by not reaching optimum heat)
Hpi did a great job building a beast🎉
lol i remember 7 years ago when i got one of these, they were a lawn shredder to the grass in the park, just ordered the 5sc ss today, these are great ;)
15:00 pull-start disassembly and clean. Excellent.
Really a Great video mate! Thank You

THISS i got it and its the best choice you can make
I wish I have one of those and I like the sound of a 23 cc 2 stroke engine and 32 cc and a 35 cc engine
18:50 carby settings - great!
I miss the hpi purple
Orange was better.
Cool i love baja
yes usually 92 octane and 2 stroke oil, with a mixture of 20:1 or 25 :1
This looks like an educational video filmed in the 70s. WTF HPI.
LifeInRecoil I was 6 when that video was released now nearly 20 (intro)
ForTruth NotError if u where 6 you would be like 15 now not 20
Lol
very informative. can't afford it anyway xD
so basically the rule is 1 battery per tank until u recharge it .....great vid cheers
@littleboblives the air filter is for the keep some durt out to make sore that there is noting going in to the engine onlye air
the break in for the fulie engine that ive been told is run it easy for 1 tank then run it as you want is from some of the most well know modifiers for baja's that i know. idiling for 6 tanks is just a waste of fuel. also the 2 strokes for bicycles maybe a bit different too. like for nitro engines each manufacture has a different break in process for their engine. like hpi they have the ebst break in for their motor each company will be different from the last dealing with the break in proces

How to keep the idle needle in factory settings
Need help?? Got a Baja 5 b it has a rattle in the engine when I pull the cord. And goes through spark plugs like nothing?
Std. or upgraded clutch, both will stopp slipping between the 10-12k mark. Aftermarket clutch such as lauterbacher clutch will only improve smooth acceleration, not top speed.
Hi mine is getting delivered in a min so do I change shock fluid or do I leave it for a few weeks
So no specific break-in ? Like running idle for 15 mins, then let it cool down for 15 mins and repeat every time with 1/4 throttle more ?
What make a fifth scale gas car wheel term when you crack it
After 10 mins of running... The engine stopped and now my pull start won't pull. I was running it in wet conditions. Did I maybe get dirt/mud inside... Idk
Can I use a 7v battery in my exeed hannibal 5th scale gas truck ? For the receiver and servos? Ty
does it have a ideal
recently, I got 5b ss. but i can't make it go in straigh line . why is that ?
No break in procedure with gasoline engines?
cool

where can I buy baja 5b ss?
this video demonstrates everything owners don't do
95 is standard in UK I run my golf on 98 from shell
And why are you saying that?
I cant believe HPI has stuck with that long wheel base for so long , I chopped 1" off my chassis and it no longer nose dives or loops out easily . Its not that the front end is too heavy , its that the weight is leveraged to far forward.. OHH and about 1" wider....Are you listening HPI?
The wheel base is distance between the wheels...
you can buy a 30.5cc engine and a tuned pipe
i want a performance upgrade on a lozi 5t 4wd
Seems like the engine isn't too good in the low revs?
they should make a 30.5cc baja with 4wd
@leeadamaa dude standard 95 and 98. is 89 en 92 in the eu
So never leve gas in the tank damm I do that I didn't know that does anyone know we're I can get a muffler a good one
Dónde se consiguen?
i am living in VietNam,so can you ship it for me???
Sunaco Ultra is like 94 octane.
One if the highest grades.
89 is more like a standard octane
can same one guide me how many turn i need to do for the carburetor adjusting ?( its very fast in the video ) thanks
What about 87 octane? That's standard in my area (87, 89, 93)
what is the use of air filter oil? and what will happen if i didnt put air filter oil?
It stops dirt from getting into your engine. If you don't put it on then you'll get dirt in your engine and the dirt will scratch the engine's walls leading to lack of performance and eventually complete engine failure.
Just to say mate you don't need to use a comma if you use the work ( and ) they serve the same purpose :)

Some one messed with my remote/pushed buttons now my remote does not read my car...please help?
Re bind the remote and receiver
The engine in a car may not be a small engine, but it still must be broken-in. So do the 2-stroke gas engines for bicycles they have in California. Those must be broken-in.
I think he forgot to loctite
They run on petrol (gas) and that 2 stroke oil!
can we use the fuel from petrol station or we should make it plzz help
Yeah nah yeab nah
Guess this is a video for people who never had to run a 2/4 stroke gas engine, sounds a bit funny. lol
How is it funny??
Whats the name of the charger as i seem to have misplaced mine :D
I'd recommend this charger from our current range for the receiver pack:

Does it have a reverse gear ?
Joseph Geoji no only forward and brake
can you fit a obr 30.5cc engine in this car?
Seemingly Suprized yes you can bud
cool
you can fit 45cc engines too
Where do I get hpi Baja RC in India...

Hey can you guys do a breaking in video
It's not hard to break it,in, just drive it around slowly and use a full tank and then it's all good
Tylar Foster now i know that. but im not getting an hpi product
anyone watching in 2015
nope 2016 but i have watched this in 2015
Will Brewer I have to
2017 tho
2019🤦🏾♂️
do i need to break it in?
Juppp
standard 95 to 98?!!?!?!?!? i only get 89-92 octane content???
Baja.
what would happen if i ran the same gas from my weedeater in it?
Why Fuelie and not Zenoah?
Saving money
Jesus Christ man you want me to use race fuel???????!!!!!!!!! there is no regular 95 octane all we have is 92 and 115
😆
In Europe we do have 95 and 98 only
That car looks bad ass fuck where did you buy that. I liked and I loved all of your videos so I had to subscribe.
SONG??????????????/
Put the car in the ground with the ra-radio turned on
mate 91% octane can be used on high compresion engine like the 30.5cc engine

Can it make a cup of tea?
and some biscets?
typical british xD
Nice BAjA :0)

Can it go to the shop for some krisps

Is the hpi stock radio reliable???
JRC i've had a runaway with it, so I don't use it anymore.
Seems like they totally disregarded the break-in process. A fat birdie told me to break-in a Baja's gas engine, let it idle for 6 tanks. That's what I call time consuming.
go with the setting they say 25:1 50:1 will hurt it
receiver pack lasts for 15 mins and loads for 6 hours lol
no , 1h
no 55 min

its the same stuff. im not sure about the ratio mix you use but the engine is basically the same thing.
Standard octane is not 95 !
That is among the highest....
Let's be accurate...
+GGobblin It is in Europe
95 Octane RON, it similar to 91 Octane US rating system.
It's 95 RON, not 95 AKI.
95 octane? Nigga dis ain't a race track. Supreme is only 92/93 depending where ya go
Where I live, 95 is everywhere.
race fuel is 102 to 105 octane 95 is standard pump fuel
Well.. here 98 octane is kinda standard. :)
He said back and forward it doesn’t even go back 9:25
there really isnt a break in rocess. and its not idiling 6 tanks of fuel. for the first tank you run it less then 3/4 throttle and very the entire tank. after that just run it like ya stole it.
110kph? Yeah sure... Unless you are running different gearing or a 2 speed. A standard baja will go no more the 60-70kph.
Is hard to put a 2 speed on them bro?
if your unhappy with the speed.
you can buy 62 cc engine, instead 26cc that comes with it.
deal with it nooby.
Hahaha this is ancient
They seem so boggy and kind of gutless.
those engines are generally broken in in the factory. but hpi is lazy and doesnt do it for you
WRONG!!
There is one danger issue with over priming the engine, and that is if the intake of the cylinder is open and you prime it full then pull the cord.
Most unlikely to happen but it can.
Then you can actually bend the piston shaft! If unlucky.
WRONG!
i looked it up, and i hate it.
its ugly and uncool.
What put a geek on it? And a boring as hell voice commentator?
I never said it definitely goes 110km/h, i said i could go up to 110km/h. Im running a stuffer crank and a lauterbacher 4 shoe racing clutch. My engine would maybe reach 85km/h but i have never cheked the actual performance of it. It also depends on what tyres your running and what conditions your running the baja on. If you use slicks and your on dry road then you willget a higher speed than if you were using dirt buster on grass or dirt. So when did you learn to troll fuck flaps
boring
i found it very helpful.
