I never thought they bring back something that people use to love back then. I remember they existed and I did remember their was an electric version of the 5B back then. First the HPI WR8 Subaru Rally Car and now this. Time flies by so fast and I’m glad to hear HPI is back in their game. I hope they bring back some of this famous 1/10 rc cars soon.

They're working hard to bring back everything they can. They lost the manufacturer and a lot of things have to be sourced and found before things get back to production 100%. but they're getting there. I for one hope they bring back the savage kit.

Can't wait to get me one, let's go HPI 🤙😎

This is absolutely amazing, Can't wait to grab one for myself! Thank you so much KPOP! I feel like You, Nash and the gang are totally responsible for this epic re release!!!

Just wow, how do you not have more views on this!! Amazing showing and delivery of content about this legacy of a car! You brought back so many memories to me as I have been an HPI fan since I was a kid! I can not wait till I get my hands on one of those beautiful rigs!

Awesome video, wicked editing. You have a sub. I’m not familiar with the Baja but I’ve seen them a lot online and in other videos. I love the black and white scheme and can’t wait to build one of my own (electric probably). Thank you HPI for re-releasing the Baja.

That is probably the most beutifull thing i have seen in my entire life, what a blast of a car. I just bought the Rovan 01 "Stealth" Baja car yesterday and i am waiting for it, for many years ago i was also driving a smaller buggy for some time, now i am getting back to the hobby, i am tired of beeing alot indoor infront of screens so i really need this. In time i wanna build a car like this from the ground up when i get a little more familiar with all the mechanics. I love this car so much, great video, greetings from Denmark. ❤

Finally in a sea of clones a legend reappears

Nice build. I seen the MCD Racing hex drivers all over the video build. Love it....

You sir, are so worthy. That's so freakin awesome, can't wait to see you guys play cars!

Great to see the legend that started it all return. I'm glad to see it comes in build yourself format that's my specialty. I will definitely do a build on my channel to honour hpi and show the respect it deserves. Great video 🔥

I Still have my original SS. I bought two as well as a 5T. I gave my 5T to my older sister and one of my SS's to my nephew. I built both SS's because that's what I enjoy. I still have the first SS though. I've been out of the RC world for a few years and was just starting to get back into it again starting around thanksgiving. I got my old SS out that's set around for years not running and was going to get it running again when I found out about the re-release of the Baja 5B SBK and had to have it. I finally found a dealer that had one in stock and got it just before Christmas. I'm still awaiting for a few minor parts to finish the build. I can't wait to get out and run my SS against my new SBK. Now if only HPI would re-release the Savage in kit form again. I know they would have at lease one sale here, maybe two.

This makes me happy as shit. I just picked up an authentic complete chassis of a Baja 5B and a 5SC conversion kit for it (Has some RPM parts). I was struggling to find good parts for it. Rovan is ok but their quality is definitely subpar and I would assume the same of King which also produces parts for these. There is some stuff missing but for the price I am not disappointed cause it is in excellent condition. Another thing I was struggling to find was the freaking manual for sale, not just a PDF, as well as a build manual at all. I cant find on even in a PDF. Basically mine is at the point you had yours at 13 minutes in, add shocks and take away the read diff and fuel tank and thats the build state mine sits currently.
