    1/5 scale RC baja buggy

    for urgent sale is my big whipper snipper engine baja 5b buggy by HPI. No remote (ex took them all) but didnt have many uses as i did my hand injury shortly after i purchased it. so its been chillin in the spare room since. reliable 2stroke engine, so great for beginners. time to move it on as i have finally accepted that RC cars are one of those thigns i can nolonger do :( i will be listing a couple more forsale too.
    these retail new for $1400, im only asking $400 for this one for fast sale. so grab yourself a bargain, lots of fun and will do 60kmph!! without a remote you can then go and purchase one that suits you that is higher quality than ones that come with the buggy, and still spend less than new price! im having a bit of a clean out

    1973 HQ with HZ front. Currently waiting for its resto.

    haha really? rc planes are cheaper? i definately think they would be cheaper than nitro cars, as nitro is expensive on parts, and fuel. these buggys just 2 stroke and you get ages out of that tank they run forever ive never had much luck with rc planes though, or helicopters. so sad when you crash them :(

    Rodney just rebuilds them when he crashes, and he seems to be able to fly the helicopters around okay as well...the remote petrol cars seem to need a lot of maintenance, where as when you crash the planes its baler wood which is the only thing that is ruined, the motor, and ailerons (not sure the spelling) just go into a new plane which is usually around $200 or just build your own....

    cheers vanman, price is actually neg too. i really want to have it gone over the weekend.

    yeah the nitro cars certainly need a lot of maintenance. this one is definately a lot easier and cheaper to keep
