Super Heavy Duty Parts 
Because of the ever-increasing power demands of Baja owners around the world, and the constant desire to cram as much power in the Baja chassis as possible, weve added all-new SUPER Heavy Duty drivetrain parts that will make sure the Baja 5B Flux can handle extreme conditions and massive power! Super Heavy Duty Drive Shafts | Super Heavy Duty Diff Shafts | Super Heavy Duty Drive Axles |  |  |  | | All-new extra-thick 9mm dogbones are the starting point of the 5B Flux drivetrain upgrade - these are new, thicker and stronger to outlast the roughest rides and racing action you can find! New wider rubber boots are included to keep the dirt and mud away. | Getting the power from the diff gears to the new dogbones is a wider diff shaft that perfectly fits the increased diameter of the dogbones. | The Baja 5B Flux is fitted with new Super HD drive axles to get power to the rear wheels, which fit the thicker dogbones. |
Unique in the world of large-scale racing, the HPI Viscous Torque Differential gets the power to the rear wheels as smooth as silk. Its easy to tune with optional diff oils and is fully fitted with hardened metal gears and an alloy case.
ALL METAL GEAR TRANSMISSION From the input shaft and idler gear to the alloy-encased differential, every gear inside the sturdy Baja 5SC transmission is made from long-life alloy to keep your truck running all day long with minimal maintenance.
The awesome Baja suspension really comes into its own with long-stroke VVC/HD shock absorbers and high-sidewall truck tyres, letting the tyres do their business whether youre driving over rutted-out whoops or flying over a big tabletop!
HEAVY DUTY SHOCK ABSORBERS VVC/HD shocks deliver improved handling over rough terrain and feature large 6mm diameter shock shafts for increased durability. Threaded shock bodies are used for easy adjustment of ride height.
The high-torque SFL-11MG servo features extra tough all metal gears for durability, an aluminum steering arm and a water resistant case.
All of the latest HPI kits are now fitted with reliable and feature-packed 2.4GHz radio systems for supreme control and confidence!
