This channel is officially GOATed. Literally the best rc channel out. The content. The editing. The music. Your voice overs. Literal greatness. You’re appreciated my dude
Been in this hobby 10 years now started with a Carson Comanche and now I’ve got a rovan baja 5b with that meany upgrades it’s not even a rovan anymore! Happy to see the real HPI baja is back and your videos are awesome!
I had MGT 4.6 and 8.0 trucks then bought 5b then a 5T and converted too brushless never going back to gas but bought a Raminator V4 and converted it to water cooled brushless and for 90 pound rc truck it is insanely fast and hands down the BEST rc truck i have ever bought and is my al time favorite not to mention it is the biggest rc truck in the world
Haven’t seen a good RC video in awhile, glad to see kpop is still at it. Awesome video. Been working on trying to get my 5b back from the dead. Ran for 30 seconds today, sorting through it. 🎉 happy new year.
What a nice walk in the good old days. From the 5b to 5t to the hpi baja forum. Great racing with my buds back then. I still miss my Eustis Florida track...Barefoot raceway.
Taking us back to the mid-2000s. Nice to see a fresh, new, authentic 5B in stabilized full HD. Hope to see more new content on the 5B and 5B Flux. This buggy is a 1/5 scale legend!
I have a brand new SS kit ready to run, already assembled ,with batteries, in my living room , I enjoyed building them during the Winter, probably my 5th one, .. Way overdue but it's going to happen that I run it.
I am loving the content! You have definitely been an inspiration over the years for me getting 2 of my own 1/5th scale gas powered beasts! I am still breaking in the engine on the second one. But boy do i love them and want more! Love watching your content and your mad scientist mind when it comes to these builds and the possibilities are endless with you!
Sounds great with that expansion pipe. Many years ago i worked for a company that cleared out foreclosure houses and i FOUND a badass AWD kyosho buggie with 2 gal of fuel and a toolbox with all kinds goodies [and a shitty little high point .380 pistol].. i heated up that glowplug and goddamnit she fired up 2nd pull!! I had lucked out bigtime.. i had so much goddamn fun with that thing until while drifting around a parkin lot for probably 2hrs straight, so after i melted a set of tires i changed em out and youd think id b smart enough being a lifetime mechanic and street racer of almost every style and drivetran layout there is to know that with different and new tires its not gunna act like i just was and while sliding in a nasty all wheel drift it hooked up and SMASHED into a curb so hard it was instantly destroyed parts were EVERYWHERE and my heart was broken.. i was gunna salvage what i could and build something else cause the engine still ran awesome but then some dirtbag stole it from my shop.. id love to get another one someday.. superfun BUT these days id probably get electric
That. Is the sexiest 1/5 scale, motor combo I've ever seen ... 😍 Dude, I hope you have an absolute blast with that invention. I know you're familiar with those beasts, I'm not so pardon my jaw just hanging wide open. Just awesome. Nice paintwork, easier to appreciate when someone pays attention to the details.
I had an HPI car all-wheel drive back in 1997, I believe, it had a Alfa Romeo body style. I had a good bit of money into that car. I've had it up to 60 + mph.
13:17 i do love my nitro's. but since i got a 2 stroke 5th scaler, i barely touch my nitros anymore :) This is believe it or not, because it is such a blast to drive, it starts within the first 1 to 3 pulls (My baja does anyway) and it has yet to fail me.
Oh the smell of racing fuel reminds me of 1992-93 I got a traxx 1/8th scale from my buddy up in Washington state oh good times man for sure but only 18-19yrs old I could barely afford the hobby shop every weekend for parts n accessories etc! That was our groups fav saying: back to the hobby shop!! 😝 rite on man this games come along long ways in 30yrs! Wow
I can't believe 10+ years ago I had four Bajas and eveb this exact pipe on my built up 5BV2. I wouldn't even know where to start if I got back into it.
I had a custom 5b ss a few years ago.. was awesome, I loved it.. the only downside was having somewhere to run it in the end. Its here on my channel somewhere.
@kepopRC your rc is very cool, this is the only rc that I really have, but the price is very expensive, and to be honest, I'm trying to make it from a 50 cc engine, hopefully it works.
You guys must live near me, twice now I'm prety sure I recognize the place lol, you should check out the baseball diamonds at Etobicoke valley park, lots of space there.
Sounds so dam good! I built my Baja last week, zenoah 32 arrives tomorrow cant wait to get it together and rip it. Im a nitro guy and this is my first 2 stroke rc, ofc it had to be the HPI Baja lol. Awesome vid dude
I was going to buy the HPI Baja, must be over 7 years ago, but it was a ridiculous price for what is a strimmer engine. Instead bought the HPI Savage SS 4.6cc , because I wanted to build it and customise parts
Man I want a 2 stock 5th scale sooo bad but damn they can be expensive lol been after a used one for a while but every time a find one it never works out lol I'll have me one eventually!!!
You mean that wasn't for real?? I can't wait to get mine going.. Only problem is I can't decide paint scheme. I'm thinking Starsky and Hutch inspired.. or The Last Starfighter.. or just like yours, now... I don't know.
Hey guys, is HPI back in business again. There was a period where I found it extremely hard to find spares here in Australia, and shops told me that they'd gone bust
Yup both the bay watch and the Baja are sexy. Hey Matt don’t bother bringing a sound simulator 😆. I’m anxious to see the performance on the electric though. 👍
@@kpopRC my servo would actually not go all the way in kept hitting the piece you have to put on the chassis for the servo 85414 , had to shave it down just to get the servo to fit into the spot it’s suppose to
you know. the cops come. and then they usually are all interested in it. and hang out. usually, they're really nice. But this is very much a thing. and one for the electrics.
that's up for debate. some people do. we like to heat cycle them a few times to get everything to like each other while pig rich. not sure if it's the right way, but it's how we've done it for a long time.
e-revo. made from scratch? what makes it a revo then? until you experience fifth scale at even 35miles per hour you have no basis for comparison. e revo still feels like a toy at 100mph.
I’ve been waiting for this one! Your editing is the best; no doubt! Wanting to be a part of this series is one of the easiest decisions to make!
Thanks for always being there DDM! Lets bring 5th scale back to what it was!
Yes i agree Steve 👋😎 hi from jp. Been busy, will be buying more parts from yah soon again. 👍😄
This channel is officially GOATed. Literally the best rc channel out. The content. The editing. The music. Your voice overs. Literal greatness. You’re appreciated my dude
thanks, brother! glad to have you watching!
Hell yeah it is. 🍻
Couldn't have said it better
Great video my dude

JAY! thanks dude. the brap is real!
"I'll be ready (I'll be ready)
Never you fear (no, don't you fear)"
Great content as always!🥰
One HPI re-re that I'm excited about! And, this build, completely insane and that motor/pipe combo, totally badass! 💯 Great video! 👍
You are a legend.
I had MGT 4.6 and 8.0 trucks then bought 5b then a 5T and converted too brushless never going back to gas but bought a Raminator V4 and converted it to water cooled brushless and for 90 pound rc truck it is insanely fast and hands down the BEST rc truck i have ever bought and is my al time favorite not to mention it is the biggest rc truck in the world
Love the Baywatch Segway glory shots, fire paint job bro👍😎 Highly Visual

Man I feel ya I wish they would have 1/5 scale racing events in Florida!!
Got a DDM 30.5 headkit years ago with the Walbro 998(?) carb and Dominator pipe.Moves out!
Taking us back to the mid-2000s. Nice to see a fresh, new, authentic 5B in stabilized full HD. Hope to see more new content on the 5B and 5B Flux. This buggy is a 1/5 scale legend!
I love the baja . Still have one decaying in my garage from 15yrs ago. Can’t seem to let go of it. It’s a part of me. 😂
i bet it fires right up!
when you go from nitro to gas, there's no turning back!
I have a brand new SS kit ready to run, already assembled ,with batteries, in my living room , I enjoyed building them during the Winter, probably my 5th one, .. Way overdue but it's going to happen that I run it.

Got a DDM 30.5 headkit on my 5b years ago.Great stuff with the Dominator pipe and Zenoah 998(?) carb!
You've GOT to love a bangin ass 2-stroke !!!
heck yeah. all you need. already breaking tires loose at quarter throttle
Love it , can't wait to see you guys send it! on the next video. Two stroke forever.
Sick video editing skills man 😉👍 makes me want to pull my 5t back out and rip it 😘👍
Maher keeps saying i should haha!
Your video production is fantastic and great build!! Cheers to beers 🍻🍻
You want to get some covers for those shocks to protect them from dust and dirt.
And plus they look cool, I've got desert camo ones on my old 5b and they look awesome.
What A PLEASURE this video…….. Waooow…
Man I’m speechless, the level is too high
Wow. She's a beaut. Congrats on an awesome build. 🤘🔥.. that DDM sounds insane
thats awesome my dad will love this video

it sounds like it might be time to go grab a hobby grade electric, or nitro if you want. good times. those curbs come out of no where!
That. Is the sexiest 1/5 scale, motor combo I've ever seen ... 😍 Dude, I hope you have an absolute blast with that invention. I know you're familiar with those beasts, I'm not so pardon my jaw just hanging wide open. Just awesome. Nice paintwork, easier to appreciate when someone pays attention to the details.
looks Wild with that mini expansion chamber exhaust! badass lookin car!
Your production quality is top notch man....very enjoyable...
I had an HPI car all-wheel drive back in 1997, I believe, it had a Alfa Romeo body style. I had a good bit of money into that car. I've had it up to 60 + mph.
Man what a cool video and car. I hope there are more 1/5 scale racing events in the future!
13:17 i do love my nitro's.

This is believe it or not, because it is such a blast to drive, it starts within the first 1 to 3 pulls (My baja does anyway) and it has yet to fail me.
totally! first or second pull. it'll run even if it's tuned wrong haha! And 45 min tanks can't be beat!
Loving your videos! This brings back Baja memories.
Oh the smell of racing fuel reminds me of 1992-93 I got a traxx 1/8th scale from my buddy up in Washington state oh good times man for sure but only 18-19yrs old I could barely afford the hobby shop every weekend for parts n accessories etc!

Thats a 🔥🔥 paint job. That'd look badass on my 550 stand up jet ski. Sick buggy!
i didn't realize untill SBG pointed out, it's the toyota TRD livery.
Sick! Where's that camera mount from that attached the camera to the car?
small rig arm, smallrig camera cage.
I can't believe 10+ years ago I had four Bajas and eveb this exact pipe on my built up 5BV2. I wouldn't even know where to start if I got back into it.
Was some of the outdoor breaking in filmed along the Humber River in Toronto?
I knew it! I grew up near the Old Mill. Do most of my RC nitro truck bashing in Centennial Park.
love how it sounds just like a dirt bike
i have one off the hpi racing 1/5 scale baja 5B 23cc when they first come out still running like new all stock
That's the winning combo dude... most 1st placers were 23cc all stock...
Great channel. You sound like a famous DJ called Marcus Schulz
Great job explaining everything
I'm second guessing my Flux 5b, excellent broskie 👍😎
Optima and K&N livery kinda. I like it!
I had a custom 5b ss a few years ago.. was awesome, I loved it.. the only downside was having somewhere to run it in the end.
Its here on my channel somewhere.
Very good nice editing ❤
The colors and stripes look like that helicopter off of Magnum P.I.!I'm serious man!
SICK! lol. so true!
Dude this video is AWESOME!!!!!
that means a lot. thanks AJ!
What is the black car with the yellow wheels?
Can't wait for the rs200. Group B madness.
snap crackle pop all day 💪 good job buddy 👊
HPI BAJA .....GOAT 😎
That rig is sweet,very cool man dig it...
Sounds spicy!!
Y'all are awesome!
@kepopRC your rc is very cool, this is the only rc that I really have, but the price is very expensive, and to be honest, I'm trying to make it from a 50 cc engine, hopefully it works.
Thats a great video brother! You're so good work with your cars! I like the way you do it and especially 1/5 hoi baja... one ❤️
I have a question can we bind 6 channel receiver with 2 or 3 channel normal remote
not enough information to answer that question. some do yes.
my shock cables ate shit recently. lasted 10 years. any clue where to find more that arent just nylon straps?
This is really cool. I already have a Baja (Flux) but this kit makes me want another, just to build it.
You guys must live near me, twice now I'm prety sure I recognize the place lol, you should check out the baseball diamonds at Etobicoke valley park, lots of space there.
SICK! you probably know the hood lol. We'll check the diamonds out for sure! we need a spot for next weekend.
Editing is on point 👌
thanks buddy. means a lot!
Great video. Like the paint scheme
Sounds so dam good! I built my Baja last week, zenoah 32 arrives tomorrow cant wait to get it together and rip it. Im a nitro guy and this is my first 2 stroke rc, ofc it had to be the HPI Baja lol. Awesome vid dude
DUDE! im so excited for you! Let me know how it goes!
Sweet 😎 Good Job Dude! 👍
Great video. 👍🏼How did you get the lettering on the tires on the hpi baja 5b? Greetings from Germany
It's quite easy. just grab a tire marker off amazon. The one i used was the chuir 3 pack tire paint men marker.
So sick hope I’m able to get my hands on one someday
buy used. parts are available now. ha!
@@kpopRC I tried to buy one but there already sold out on the new Baja do you no if there going to restock on more ?
Loving the content my brother. 🍻 to 🍻 my doods.
What stick on the camera are u using
Wow, cool toys for big boys and nice sounding too. By the way, what kind of camera is that attached to the car? Tiny, stable and clear.
Can't wait to see it rip🍻
I was going to buy the HPI Baja, must be over 7 years ago, but it was a ridiculous price for what is a strimmer engine. Instead bought the HPI Savage SS 4.6cc , because I wanted to build it and customise parts
yeah. i think that was a mistake. nitro is nothing like 1/5 scale gas.
A twin cylinder would be wayyy cool eh ❤️🇨🇦
lets start with methanol and nitrous.
Which GoPro mount do you use on the cars?
not go pro. smallrig cage, clamps and arms.
95% black car 5% dirt bike sound car
whats the model ur useing for the throttle servo?
Put a 4S lipo to that Beast 1000 direct power and watch that thing really come alive
the beast 2000 is the 4s rated one. no? I'm sticking to nimh.
Man I want a 2 stock 5th scale sooo bad but damn they can be expensive lol been after a used one for a while but every time a find one it never works out lol I'll have me one eventually!!!
Ima new sub to your chann because I find the content fascinating
glad to have you aboard dude!
You mean that wasn't for real?? I can't wait to get mine going.. Only problem is I can't decide paint scheme. I'm thinking Starsky and Hutch inspired.. or The Last Starfighter.. or just like yours, now... I don't know.
ha ha! there will also be a bunch of liveries coming out from a bunch of influential fifthscale youtubers... cough hemi cough. ... maybe me?
Hey guys, is HPI back in business again. There was a period where I found it extremely hard to find spares here in Australia, and shops told me that they'd gone bust
well they kind of did. a new owner has taken over and is release the old models again. And will start evolving the brand again soon.
Ew Wee new subscriber here brothers I think I'm ready for the 5th scale.
Just putting this out there BBR sells a 50cc 70cc and 90cc 2 stroke engines that would likely fit and be a sweet upgrade in power
good god! YEAH. that's mental.
@@kpopRC I've been waiting to find one blown up or wrecked for a good deal cuz I don't have the money to buy new just to tare apart
I am Honored Boys Thanks....!!!! 3:11
KILLER!
17:19 does it go straight?
barely. i need to program the servo.
@@kpopRCgood luck then. I'll wait to see the final
Yup both the bay watch and the Baja are sexy. Hey Matt don’t bother bringing a sound simulator 😆. I’m anxious to see the performance on the electric though. 👍
that sounds great 💪
How did you get your reefs 1000 to fit I can’t seem to get it to fit properly??
fit perfectly. we didn't have any issues? what's not fitting? how is it not fitting? just need more specifics
@@kpopRC my servo would actually not go all the way in kept hitting the piece you have to put on the chassis for the servo 85414 , had to shave it down just to get the servo to fit into the spot it’s suppose to
What are your camera settings?
ever changing.
Oh man I'd get arrested running that beast where I live! 😁👌
you know. the cops come. and then they usually are all interested in it. and hang out. usually, they're really nice. But this is very much a thing. and one for the electrics.
@@kpopRC not here cops are butt holes I've been moved on for using electric cars wouldn't even bother trying gas or nitro!
Can I ask what Sony camera you had in the mirror?
that's the zv1. but i am having buyer's remorse. should have got a go pro 11.
Thank you @kpopRC
I was dreaming of a 5T now I’m questioning my self. Can’t wait to see it rip. Good tunes good vibes, rad channel.
Do you need to run them in?
that's up for debate. some people do. we like to heat cycle them a few times to get everything to like each other while pig rich. not sure if it's the right way, but it's how we've done it for a long time.
very cool.. back in the day in the 1/4 scale drag cars we would run those motors on nitro heli fuel
What is your slick tires brand?
hostile
Thanks man
Nitro guys try 5thscale gas? EVERYONE should try 5th scale gas! Love the throwback paint. My first hobby grade rc was a ultima.
I've got an E-Revo 2.0 that will run a hundred flat all day long as long as you can keep the tires attached LOL
Home built by the way from scratch
e-revo. made from scratch? what makes it a revo then? until you experience fifth scale at even 35miles per hour you have no basis for comparison. e revo still feels like a toy at 100mph.
Cool. And we like it, but people miles around hate you when you run it😂
yep.
Don't forget your engine kill switch guys, I had a FG Marder run away years ago it cost a lot to rebuild.
100%. it's a must and deserves it's own video.
