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.
