Description
Overview

Sick of charging your batteries or mucking around with your nitro engine? Go petrol and never look back! Cheap running costs, 40 minute run-time (on a single tank), easy to maintain and easy to start! The Baja 5B, simply the most popular 1/5 chassis to date. Compatible with 99% of the parts from the original HPI Baja 5B. Unlike the original, Rovan has pre-installed a 29cc 4-bolt petrol engine for that extra power we're all looking for!

This Baja buggy can jump big with the long-travel suspension and exceed speeds of 70kph with further modifications such as a turned exhaust pipe (ROV-85037) and high speed gearing (ROV-853192)
