It's suspension and 2WD drivetrain is based on the very popular and race proven Baja 5B. The Fuelie 23cc two-stroke petrol engine will give the Baja 5R wheelspinning power and enough top speed to make your pulse race!
The Baja 5R RTR Mustang is ony available as an RTR (ready to run) which includes everything except fuel & batteries. RRP is an eyewatering £1,200

Personally, I think that the Losi 1/5 Mini WRC 4WD Rally Car is far better value and hasa bigger punch - if you can still find one...

That's been available state side for a bit now. I was tempted but it's such a beast I don't really have a good place to drive it. Would love to set it up as a drifter but I would take a lot of work and inginuity. However a 1/5 drifter would be amazing.

Wow, now that's an RC car. You would have fun with that at my local Rockingham race track.
