HPI Baja future?

[Ragin Cajun]

Presently, the oval tracks in my region only allow the HPI Baja chassis. Now I hear they are on backorder. Anyone have the scoop on why?

HPI got sold. Old news actually. Parts should be back shortly now. Production was shut down for a while.

Parts are out there still.

Tower Hobby says the 5B SS kit will be early April

The King motor and Rovan clones are also available.

Yes Ragin, its the same quality and no way to distinguish between the two brands.
