What's in the bundle

Overview

The Rovan E-Baja 8S is a massive 1/5 scale electric RC Buggy that takes the classic Baja design and swaps out the petrol engine for low-maintenance, instant brushless power. This Ready-to-Run (RTR) RC Buggy is built on a high-strength aluminium chassis with a sleek blacked-out finish, making it look as aggressive as it performs. Equipped with a powerful Hobbywing sensored motor system, you get smooth, precise control at low speeds while still having enough torque to reach incredible top speeds on any terrain.

Handling this large RC Buggy is easier than ever thanks to the widened track width and a symmetrical steering system with a tough 60kg metal-geared Waterproof servo. The suspension utilises adjustable, aluminium big-bore shocks perfectly tuned for rough and bumpy terrain, while the drivetrain is reinforced with a steel hex-keyed pinion gear and strong metal drivetrain parts to easily handle the massive 8S power.

This bundle brings the absolute most out of this monster buggy and lets you get into the action quickly. Coming with powerful, high-capacity 14.8V 8000mAh Batteries for super long run times and huge top speeds. When you need to recharge, the dual-port fast charger safely and quickly recharges the batteries so you get back to the action. The included LiPo safe bags ensure you can charge and store the LiPos with total peace of mind.

Whether you are a beginner looking for an easy and more affordable entry into the 1/5 scale scene or a pro wanting a new, powerful electric RC buggy, This E-Baja 8S bundle gives you everything you need to truly experience what 1/5 scale electric power can offer you in one easy-to-decide package.

Note

Please refer to the instruction manual for operation, safety, waterproof standards and maintenance instructions.

Medium strength thread lock must be used on all metal-to-metal bolts (e.g., Motor mounts, Pinion gear grub screw, spur gear plate) to prevent loosening from vibration.
