That's a cheap knockoff, its NOT made by HPI and is NOT a Baja 5T.

That said, they're decent for the price.

ROFL, it says Baja Eliminator. Like anything from Engage would eliminate anything from HPI.

Engagerc is one of the biggest jokes I have ever seen.

ORIGINAL: Troopermanaic

I saw this and nearly browned my pants

EDIT: *****LINK TO ENGAGE RC REMOVED****
The information is not truthful; in that link, they call this the "Terminator" and the manufacturer they say is "EngageRC."

The only 5T clone that I know that is called "Terminator" is NOT made by EngegeRC, it is made by Rovan, a Chinese maker.

ALSO, if you read his policy, EngageRC specifically makes it clear he is NOT the manufacturer. I quote from his policy page:
"* Buyer acknowledges we are neither the manufacturer of this Item nor an agent of the manufacturer. "

Also, another seller who was considering selling the Terminator said that Rovan did have some problems on the test Terminator RCs they sent to him.
Here is the link on his explanation on what he found (the seller is called Kostenko). He gives some of his personal review of the test RCs Rovan sent to him to try to convince him to sell these.

EDIT: Removed the link to EngageRC's site; I do not want to contribute to shilling this guy nor his stuff.

Sorry, I mean no ill meaning to you nor do I intend to lash out at you at all.
You innocently found this guy's site, and I am not trying to roast you at all nor do I blame you for that.
And I am sure everyone else is not attacking you either.

This guy, EngageRC, has been on here in RCU, he has done some despicable things, including "shilling" which is against RCU rules.
No one is angry at you for stumbling on this guy's site, it's that many of us remember the crap he pulled here on RCU and are still sore from what he did to us.

To see some of the crap this guy did, look up the threads he has posted, under EngageRC (his primary name) and also "Puff," his second account he created to pose as a noob to try to force his sales on us.

BTW, it is strictly against RCU rules to make 2 accounts. Each member is only allowed one account, and EngageRC broke that rule by creating his poser account, Puff.

Dont take it to heart trooper i think those clones plus "EngageRC" bring out the rage in people lol
You thought you had spotted a bargain and wanted to pass it on
..Just imagine you had bought one without the RCU input eh?

Clones are one thing, but what really ticks me off about this guy was seeing how badly he treated RCU members first hand in the Giant Scale Forum. I will never recommend this guy. Also, he blatantly broke RCU rules and at the same time acted with high disdain and disrespect to fellow RCU members.

Let it be clear that I am not saying all this to bash on him; I am simply saying what I saw directly from this guy in the Giant Scale Forum. If anyone wants to see for themselves, all they have to do is do a search here on RCU and look up all the threads he has posted under his account names, EngageRC and also his poser account, Puff.

And seeing how JK found that quote on his site to post links for his site on RC forums, that only makes us more angry at EngageRC for continuing to try to get around the RCU shilling rules.

Trooper, I am not angry at you for finding his site, and I am not accusing you for shilling him. I truly believe you are innocent and did not intend to circumvent RCU shilling rules by posting his site. I and the others are not angry at you; we are mad at this guy and his efforts to shill his stuff on us. I hold absolutely no hard feelings for you.
