New from RPM is this cool little HPI 5B Roof Guard. Once again the guys from RPM have come up with a cool idea to help protect that spark plug sitting out in the open of your HPI 5B. You know RPM is tough stuff, so if you are looking for some added protection, this roof [...]

Well Thunder Designs, by way of TGN Distributing, has made decorating your HPI Baja 5B body as easy as peel-n-stick with their Swoop Design and Militant body skins. Both designs are available [...]
So while bashing at our long jump event where we watched Tim Mohr set a Long Jump record we pulled out the HPI Baja 5B! A lot of people say you can’t bash with a 5B, that too much breaks, but I think this video may prove them all wrong! Nobody could believe the durability that this truck [...]

Right now you can pick up Uni Filter’s Air Filter Cleaner and Air [...]
Someone sent me this photo, and I was just blown away! I have no idea where it came from, but man would I love to see this thing in action! Anyone out there have more information on this thing?
