Unleash the Beast with the Rovan 1/5 29cc Baja 5B Sport 2WD Petrol RC Baja Buggy!

The Rovan 1/5 29cc Baja 5B Sport isn't just another RC buggy - it's the evolution of a legend. Built on the most popular 1/5 chassis, the Baja 5B, this beast boasts 99% compatibility with original HPI Baja 5B parts. But Rovan didn't stop there. They've supercharged this machine with a pre-installed 29cc 4-bolt petrol engine and a Dominator-style tuned exhaust pipe, delivering raw power that will leave the competition in the dust. But the upgrades don't stop at the engine. Rovan beefed up the driveshafts by 33%, added an aluminium clutch mount, reinforced the frame with a steel roll cage, and enhanced handling with sway bars. You'll tear through any terrain with MX rear tyres, while the NGK spark plug and Walbro carburetor ensure optimal performance and reliability. And with a 45kg steering servo, you'll have precise control over this powerful machine.

With its long-travel suspension, the Rovan Baja 5B Sport eats up jumps for breakfast and can easily exceed speeds of 70kph with a simple high-speed gearing modification (ROV-853192). So if you're ready to experience the ultimate in off-road RC performance, the Rovan 1/5 29cc Baja 5B Sport is your ticket to adrenaline-pumping adventure.

I love this thing, had it a month now. Have destroyed 2 rear tyres, a camera, 2 white marker posts, my street number (rural), and my big toe. Also had a runaway (my fault) and drowned it, and all I needed to fix it was a new receiver and throttle servo. Got the engine running again, and still hasn't missed a beat. Since then I've bought another 2 RC cars from here, and heaps of spares (I'm not paranoid, but I know I'll break stuff)
