Baja Desert run, 120 miles long

[BenG]

Big scale isnt really our thing at Red RC, but what HPI Racing has done with their big scale Baja 5B, thoroughly deserves a mention. They drove the buggy continuously, apart from 6 fuel stops, 120 miles through desert roads while the driver who was controlling the Baja followed closely in a specially prepared off road vehicle, that itself was driven by a professional desert racer.

With only six stops to fuel the Baja, the car and its team made the historic journey in less than 6 hours of running time! This meant an average of nearly 22 mph for the Baja! Not fast enough to beat the best Barstow-to-Vegas race time, but certainly fast enough to make it the roughest, toughest off-road RC car in the world!
