1/5th SCALE SHORT COURSE THRILLS!
For high traction on a variety of dirt surfaces, HB Rodeoo tires
are standard equipment on the Baja 5SC. The asymmetric tread pattern
mirrors the design of full-size off-road racing tires. The sticky rubber
compound, block treads and wide grooves give the right mix of sliding
and gripping. Concentric rings on the sidewalls give extra grip if
things get really hairy! Bold new 10 spoke wheels (TR-10) using heavy
duty beadlock rings add to the realistic Short Course looks of the Baja
5SC.
The final touch in completing the scale look of the Baja 5SC is a
new set of bumpers that allow you to give your fellow racers a 'love
tap' without risking a major incident. The bar-style front and rear
bumpers look great and, along with the mud flaps, add that extra bit of
Short Course realism!
Updated Rear Hubs
New rear hubs have been added for increased durability and
easier adjustment of the toe-in setting. The new hubs are lighter weight
and allow toe-in adjustments of 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 degrees to help match
the truck performance to track conditions.
Heavy Duty Front Wheel Hubs
To keep in sync with the new super heavy duty drivetrain, the Baja 5SC also
comes with new Heavy Duty front wheel hubs. These new axles utilize a screw
and nut design that eliminates the previous use of an e-clip, which furthers the
reliability of the truck.
Hard main chassis made from 7075-grade aluminum, hard shock stay, big bore shocks and aluminum knuckle arms give the MP9 its great strength, durability and rigidity.
Newly developed chassis is narrower and lower in height to realize the aerodynamic benefits of the new body design that generates more downforce and stability than ever before.
Large wing is securely bolted and generates powerful downforce. New ribbing at the back results in improved rigidity and strength.
In addition to the hard anodized shock stays and main chassis, the MP9 features velvet coated shock cylinders. Also, resin torque rods fitted on front and rear contribute to the moderate flexibility and smooth running performance.
Roll center can be adjusted by changing the direction of the spacer inserted into the lower arm of the rear suspension. Also, the one-piece ball and washer pivot balls are an added maintenance feature.
Servo is mounted upright for easy maintenance and is dropped 2mm to contribute to the lower center of gravity. The hard chrome finish on some metal parts is superior to anodizing.
The smaller differential units on front and rear with grooved cup joints, aluminum pivot balls and the modified shape of resin parts, effectively lightens the chassis weight while providing greater rigidity, durability and strength.
Equipped with American ‘AKA’ 1/8 I Beam medium compound buggy tires and new large type wheels as standard. Developed by world champions for big race winning speed on any surface.
Newly designed fuel tank features finger hook for fast and reliable refueling and realizes stable fuel supply in even under severe racing conditions.
