RE: HPI Baja Buggy!!!!
Careful here..... The other HPI Baja thread got locked and it all started with some sarcasm if I remember correctly. Lets keep this one on the technical aspect, not so much critical. It is a new 1/5 scale..... That alone makes me happy, not to mention that HPI make some awesome durable nitros. I'd definitely like to check one out once they are released. Maybe even buy on to add to my growing collection.

RE: HPI Baja Buggy!!!!
whats the problem ?
looks good to me got some neat stuff
A Viscous Torque Control Differential can be tuned by using different diff oils
better design radio box than fg, half decent rx batterys.
bead lock rims
IMO

As it stands, at $915 (Tower) it's a superior design to the Firehammer, for $15 more.
But it's a basher versus the Firehammer, which can be raced. Pity.
HPI is making a big push for visibility in the competitive arena. Why not extend that philosophy to new products?

whats with comply to existing rules, rules are made by a club or organization.everyplace I know of would just say if we have 3 show up we'll have a class and race. and it goes on from there. we make a big deal out of nothing.

how can you defend a model that aint even released - yes its shiny and has pretty colours,but it needs to handle well,have parts readily available & support,have good option parts ect - no one knows the facts of this model yet,and if i remember correct before the mods locked the last hpi thread - you slagged fg off saying they were weak amongst other things - yet you dont own any large scale of any make.buy - try then comment.

Veron, Personal Attacks are forbidden, And your threats will be reported. I'm tired of them. Funny to only name I ever called you was a spammer, yet you say I harass you? LOL Can you read Veron? Everyone see's YOU bashing ME and calling ME names.
Also dream up new insults they are pretty lame...first you call me a homosexual now I'm drunk on moon shine and oh yeah I messed with the wrong guy...uhhh ok Tony Soprano or shall I call you Mr. Soprano...also chase the community away with spam and btw I don't see a moderator tag on your name so don't tell me to leave a forum area, you DO NOT RUN RCU and Neither does your spam store.

Its good to see new products come to market in the large scale arena, that means manufacturers see promise in this segment of RC, and it can only serve to help the hobby overall.
