What's in the bundle

Overview

The Rovan Voyager 5 has earned a big following as a 1/5 scale petrol RC buggy, and now it has gone electric. The Rovan Voyager 5 12S RC Buggy keeps the same large footprint and tough running gear as the petrol V2, but it swaps the engine for a Hobbywing brushless power system. That means no fuel to mix, no exhaust fumes and instant torque every time you touch the throttle. The body comes in a choice of red or black and sits over a CNC-machined black anodised 6061-T6 aluminium chassis that gives this RC buggy a rigid, hard-wearing backbone. Strong aluminium shock towers and metal steering horns add strength where the big buggy takes the most punishment. Beadlocked pin tread all-terrain tyres on 24mm hexes grip dirt, grass and gravel and stay put on the rims under hard acceleration.

Under the body is a punchy Hobbywing 56118SD 800 kV sensored brushless motor paired with a Hobbywing Max 5 HV ESC. Two 6S packs give it 12S power. Twin high-RPM cooling fans on a rigid aluminium mount pull heat away from the motor, and a thick aluminium motor mount keeps the gear mesh steady under heavy load. Dual aluminium battery trays hold both packs firmly in place, and heavy-duty anti-spark QS8 connectors carry the high current safely. Tough, finned metal diff housings and chunky 1.5 Mod gearing send that torque to all four wheels. Adjustable bronze big-bore coil-over shocks soak up big landings, and front and rear sway bars keep the chassis flat through fast corners. A strong metal-geared steering servo turns the big tyres, and the FlySky GT3B radio's backlit screen and 10-model memory make it easy to set up. Charge two 6S packs, and this ready-to-run RC buggy is set for large-scale electric bashing.

Note

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

Medium strength threadlock must be used on all bolts around the engine (e.g., Engine mount, exhaust bolts, intake, flywheel nut, clutch carrier) to prevent loosening from vibration.

The factory-installed twin high-RPM cooling fans sit securely on a rigid aluminium mount to blast away heat from the massive 800Kv motor. This heavy-duty setup prevents thermal shutdowns and maintains consistent power output during intense bash sessions.

4WD Drivetrain

4WD Drivetrain

The LT-E lets you put the massive 44.4V (12S) power firmly on the ground thanks to its 4WD system and high-strength metal diffs. This reliable setup ensures that every bit of torque is translated into traction, making the lT-E an incredibly capable off-road machine that can dominate any track.

Big Bore Shock Absorbers

Big Bore Shock Absorbers

Soak up harsh impacts and massive air with newly designed big-bore shock absorbers. Finished in a striking bronze colour, these adjustable dampers provide smooth suspension travel and allow you to quickly fine-tune your handling for any off-road track.

Dirt Buster Wheels

Dirt Buster Wheels

The Voyager 5 comes with a full set of all-terrain wheels that are suitable for any surface. These high-grip wheels are beadlocked, allowing for easy changing when needed but ensuring the tyre stays put when you are pedal to the metal.

Strong Where It Counts
