That day finally came a few [...]

While people love driving their HPI Baja 5Bs, they also love to hop them up. We see them all the time with outrageous engines spanking out massive power. For the guys that drag race their 5Bs, keeping their front end on the ground can become a major concern, hence the reason that BigDaddy Custom RC has announced a new Custom [...]

We like combo tools, or should I say that we like saving room in our tool box. That’s why when we saw the new HPI Temp-Driver we were pretty stoked. While out tuning a nitro engine the two tools you need the most are a small straight slot screwdriver and a temp gauge, luckily the new Temp-Driver has both. * Measures [...]
