Mission accomplished in long distance R/C endurance test! HPI Racing's 1/5th scale Radio Controlled Baja 5B goes from Barstow, California to Primm, Nevada - 120 miles!Wednesday, January 31 (Orange, Calif.) -- HPI Racing, building on twenty years of history in the radio controlled [R/C] industry, has taken a step out of the box. HPI factory driver Thad Garner drove a 1/5th scale radio controlled vehicle 120 miles through the desert, far from any designated R/C race track, smack into the middle of the full-size dirt sports community. The mission was to tackle the famous off-road race route from Barstow to Vegas. Covering more than 120 miles, HPI Racing chose the grueling un-paved desert to test the performance capabilities and durability of the Baja 5B gasoline powered R/C off-road buggy. HPI Racing knows that this type of test far exceeds normal R/C driving, but the challenge was to test the Baja 5B in the most extreme desert conditions.Read and see more here: http://www.hpiracing.com/barst...

sikkkkness! My Rustler VXL would overheat, melt every part in its plastic body, activate thermal shutdown, and then my LiPo battery would explode! It would be a lot faster than the 5B though :P

Get yourself the SS kit, that way you know how to fix it if you ever need to. All you'll need is a radio system and some time. If you can follow directions it shouldn't be too hard.
