HPI Baja 5b SS

We got ourselves a new HPI Baja 5b SS kit.
It must be the most fun car I've driven so far! Here are a couple of videos we took on the first day, actually running it in and keeping ourselves from full throttle!

A well deserved laugh! We did it! It's ready to run! No RTR! We DID build it! Phew!
