LoL I love it in the late 80s we built RC cars from weed eater motors and people thought we were crazy and here they are... too good

Also check under the stop button cover that the button isn't stuck. Can happen, and makes you think it wont start.

Hi, I followed your video step by step on my new baja, it started running for about 10 seconds then cut out, should I repeat the choke on choke off again? I just don't want to flood it

You should be able to just pull start it again, no choke procedure.

Hi would to know if hat is the best way to install a manual kill switch on the Baja 1/5 scale buggy.

We'll have to do a video on that! Basically they plug into the third channel on the receiver, and work in line with the existing killswitch button.

Did they upgrade the frame on these ? I had one about 5 years ago and the frame was cheaply made with pot metal had to reinforce it and fix it

Now that the real HPI has started production for the Baja 5B again you should buy that instead of this clone, HPI quality is way better.

So cool! What a great video ❤. I have a question, Can I break in, my Roavan baja 5b 29cc in one go!, Before my battery dies?, its a HPI Battery 6.0v 4300mah 25.8wh. I have no idea how long that battery last before hitting 0%

As long as the battery is in good condition, you should get a good couple of hours out of that battery - easy enough run time to do break in 🙂

It will still go off in the tank, but not as slow as the container. You mostly remove it so that it doesn't go bad in the tank and gunk stuff up.

Is 26 cc oil & gas mixture ? Or only certain bigger engines ???

@HobbiesDirect

Ай бұрын

Yes, they run on 2-stroke fuel, which is a mixture of petrol and oil. The recommended ratio is in this video - 25:1 fuel to oil.

what is the correct fuel ratio you say 25-1 but you also say 40ml per 1 liter?

@HobbiesDirect

Those are the same number. 25:1 is 25 parts fuel to one part oil, or 40ml of oil in 1 litre of fuel.

I thought 25 to 1 is 250 mil of oil to 1 ltr off fuel.not 200 mil? This is why I don't listen to youtubers who give you bad info

@HobbiesDirect

5 ай бұрын

250ml of oil in 1 litre of petrol (1000ml) is a ratio of 4:1, (or 1000 : 250, if that's easier to understand). The correct ratio, as in the video, is 25:1, which is 1 litre of petrol with 40ml of oil. Use 200ml of oil for making 5 litres of fuel.

So it is not an HPI product.
