In this video I bash my Hpi Baja 5t that has a (7.5hp) O’Neill Brothers Racing 30.5cc Full mod Zenoah motor and a ton of other miscellaneous upgrades!!
ive got the 5b which i turned into all aluminum with the sandrail cage and 4 wheel hydrualic disk brakes and a DDM 30. all they do is spin out constantly
We have a 5T and it's your rear shock springs causing the problem... it's called donkey kicking... easy to fix... get the preload off the rear shocks, try some lighter springs, and thicker shock oil!!! Then jump it 20 feet if you like... THEY FLY!!!
The ramp transition is to short .....iff you jump a dirt bike off a short steep ramp ...you get the same effect ...try a ramp two car lengths ...it'll fly sweet 👍
@@RCKnockout got yer bud ....not trying to sound clever but just noticed the nose dive ....yeah as a rule ...two bike lengths ...or rc truck ...cheers for reply 👍
@@chrisstones37 no worries man! I gotcha. In an ideal world I’d have a ramp that big but I was working with what I got. I thought about propping them up to help give it a steeper approach angle
Do you like gas or electric power better? They are like 2 different animals but I have always done electric. Right now I have the X Maxx but I'd like to add a gas powered at some point to my collection but is the maint a lot more involved?
Power delivery is better with electric. It’s instant cause you don’t have to wait for the clutch to engage. It takes more maintenance but I wouldn’t say it’s a ton more. You’ll have to mix the oil and gas and get used to tuning the carb some as well and you’ll have to find a place to run it that won’t be causing a nuisance with the noise it makes
@@RCKnockout For sure. Keep up the good content. I get a lot of good entertainment here. You "talked" me outof the Kraton and I went X Maxx and I am glad I did...much more durable. BUT I really want a Kraton 8s so I am hoping in the next few years Armma upgrades the current version to make it more durable because I miss my E-Revo but dude that thing broke all the time. I had hope Kraton would offer a more durable truggy but not yet apparently...but I think they are on the right track.
@@seth9145 thanks man! Yeah If I’d get another EXB it would probably be the Outcast 1/5 scale. But I seriously doubt I will. Pretty sure people are still having breakages. I think they may have just come out with a 1/8 Talion EXB as well. Hopefully Arrma ups their game
Sounds and looks like it runs really good. Nice seeing a gas rc every once and a while. Have a good one
Thanks! Yeah she’s a ripper!
Wow I still have my Hpi baja 5t with most of the upgrades you currently have. Haven't ran it in at least 10 or so years.
You should definitely get it out…..no point in having it just sitting around
Love the sound of tow strokes
Me too!
The way you keep the nose up isFull throttle all the way threw the jump and it won’t nose dive.
Works a lot better with a 4x4
Awesome rip,cool RC
Thanks! 😊
@@RCKnockout 👍✌
bro that thing is SICK
Thanks man! I really like this RC too!
@@RCKnockout honestly one of the cleanest running gas cars i have heard in a LONG time thing sounds nice
@@jordanbishop8471 thanks man! It does run really good

Sounds super cool! Yeah Baja’s don’t hook up most of the time, being 2wd…especially when you’re running an upgraded engine lol
@@RCKnockout itll do same thing with a 23 cc
@@stevethomas-cc5lz that’s true….it doesn’t take much to spin them
@@RCKnockout right. Ill tell u one thing. Once u go full aluminum it gets real heavy. Helps the fishtailing a little but not much.
@@stevethomas-cc5lz yeah mine has a lot of metal upgrades….it is heavy but it does seem to help with grip
Wish hpi still made this truck
I know right! It’s a bummer
@@RCKnockout youcan still buy it. its been rebranded as KING MOTOR
Like your videos
Thanks I appreciate it!
Turn the volume down LOL I love it
Thanks! Definitely louder than Electric lol 😂

Alright thanks for the info and recommendations!

I’m sure it would. But I don’t own ramps that big nor would I be able to carry them around with me

Good run, stop throttle blipping. Need rear shocks softer so it doesn’t buck off short ramps. Braap on bro!
Appreciate it! Heck yeah Brother 😎
@@RCKnockout 🤟😎
What are those wheels tires called
Proline Trenchers and Split Six Wheels
Thicker diff oil
It’s got the stock weight oil
