I don't know of any retailer named "powersports", but if they are selling a Baja for that cheap its likely not actually a Baja 5B.

You can post a link if you like. Under these circumstances, that would not be against our rules.

Hmmm, cheaper to buy from U.S. but you have to find a dealership. I have about 20?

pocketbikesunlimited.com they are out of california. Like many of you I am thinking larger, im tired of the nitro engine attitude issues, but do to the fact i have 20 nitro rc vehicles, I have pretty much blown my load on them. You name it i most like have it. The simplicity of gas and go has got me thinking. Start cheap and if I like move to something better etc.

Yes its a clone

I was under the impression that HPI took legal action to stop US based companies from importing and dealing in these clones, I do know that a few of our members who have hobby shops who tried to get some are no longer able to.

I don't see why not. 60kmh is only 36.4mph. It's not like they're even claiming 40mph. Sounds about right to me.

pocketbikes unlimited...thats the XRC // Technokit clone...Not HPI clone..

The HPI clone is probably made in the same factory! The radio even looks the same...

They are selling the XRC for $569... We sold ours for $300 (just gave it away) on Ebay.. Nobody wanted it!

I doubt they are selling any...



They do have other cool products though.. I love the pocketbikes!! and choppers...

I have one of the yellow pocket bikes now.
