1/5 scale 26cc 2 stroke gas powered R/C Baja
Hello,
Not sure how many of you are into R/C but I recently got hooked on a particular vehicle. It's called an HPI Baja 5B SS, comes as a kit and you put it all together. Comes with a 26cc 2 stroke engine that pushes this 25 lb r/c car up to speeds around 35-45 mph. It's HUGE! I got mine back in October, and was surprised at how big it actually is. I had done a lot of research, looked at a lot of pictures, watched a ton of videos and still, I was not ready for the size of this beast. I currently have about $1500, possibly more in it as I haven't figured up everything I've bought. Here are a few pictures.

Anways I have spent way more money than I planned, but I have had a blast. This is how it comes out of the box, (kitty was inspecting my new toy)

My gf said I looked like a kid at christmas for the next week putting it together. It's seriously some of the most fun I've had in a while.
Wasn't sure if any of you on here are into R/C vehicles, but I am trying to get an R/C stadium truck. HPI came out with a little truck called the blitz and the sister site to the Baja forums that I am always on is giving one away to the person who can get the most referrals. If you all wouldn't mind taking a second and registering there, I would absolutely love a chance to own one without taking funds away from my Baja and WS6. Just go to this link to register

and when it asks for a referrer, put in 99_WS6 as the username.
Let's see pictures of your R/C vehicles if you have any
