Judging my the anodizing color and color scheme, shocks (clone shock caps look way different, and they don't make a shock brace like that) and the amount of hpi branding on parts such as the air filter I say it's real.

I'm way out of the loop of the pricing for them nowadays but that seems pretty high. I'd say 500 judging by the condition

The SS was a kit, and they also had RtR.
The ss didn't have electronics if I remember correctly

Lol. Maybe. But. Not likely. I’m going to eBay.
Just looked no hpi baja boxes for sale on eBay.

Me too, I wouldn't keep it stock tho. Twin cyl dune ripper would be cool
another genuine hpi sign is there a small hole on the bottom of the main chassis that the plastic stub from the battery box fits into,
the km and rovan battery boxes don't have the stub on the box or the chassis hole,
its genuine hpi
