That thing looks cool. I sssooo want an SC8, but they're just too expensive.

I in general don't like gassers - at least any currently out. This though looks pretty awesome...

Yes that’s a really nice looking truck, just like the Lucas oil off road trucks. I wish
That other manufactures like fg/hpi/nutech/mcd would start making SC trucks like that, I bet they would sell like crazy. With all the 1/10-1/8 SC trucks that are out their, having them in 1/5 would be great because it would convert 1/8 and 1/10 scale people to 1/5 gassers.

I dunno. Desert trucks and SC trucks look pretty close:

Pulled from HPIs site..
"The Baja 5T was inspired by the latest generation of desert trucks that compete in the world famous Baja 1000 race in Mexico"

It would have been nice if HPI did a body like the blitz for the 5t,don’t get me wrong I like the body on the 5t very much but it does not look like the blitz body. the blitz has a true Sc truck look.

that would be because HPI built a Desert Racer not an sc truck
but a SC body for the 5T would be slick!
