What's in the bundle

Overview

For years, the Rovan Baja has been a favourite among 1/5 scale petrol buggy fans, and this V2 Sport version takes it to another level. Rovan enhanced the best features, giving the V2 a drivetrain that's 25mm wider, symmetrical steering as standard, upgraded aluminium shocks, and more robust suspension arms for an improved driving experience. The power plant is a beefy 32cc 2-stroke engine, paired with a sport-tuned exhaust for that unmistakable petrol RC sound and performance. It looks the part too, with an updated roll cage, V2 Dirt Buster wheels, and a sleek black aluminium chassis.

This Baja V2 is ready to tear up the dirt, offering high speeds of up to 70 km/h. Getting started with petrol RC can seem tricky, so this "Essentials Pack" makes it simpler. We've included a litre of quality Penrite Semi-Synthetic 2-Stroke Oil, vital for mixing your fuel correctly. We also added Castrol Foam Air Filter Oil to properly maintain the air filter, protecting that big 32cc engine from dust and dirt. To complete the package, we've included the 8 AA batteries needed for the Flysky GT3B transmitter. All you need to add is petrol, and you're ready to experience the thrill of large-scale off-road action!

Note

Please refer to the instruction manual for specific waterproof standards, safety precautions, and operating instructions.

Always mix 2-stroke oil with petrol according to the engine manufacturer's specifications (typically 25:1 ratio).

Ensure the foam air filter is properly oiled before running to prevent engine damage.

Operating petrol RC vehicles requires strict adherence to safety procedures regarding fuel handling, engine operation, and maintenance. Adult supervision is strongly recommended.

Gen2 Dirt Buster Wheels
