Experience Unrivaled Power with the Rovan 1/5 45cc Baja 5B Sport 2WD Petrol RC Baja Buggy!

The Rovan 1/5 45cc Baja 5B Sport is the ultimate expression of power and performance in the world of 1/5 scale RC buggies. Built on the legendary Baja 5B chassis, this beast is compatible with 99% of original HPI Baja 5B parts, ensuring a vast array of customisation options. But what truly sets the Rovan Baja 5B Sport apart is its monstrous 45cc 4-bolt petrol engine, paired with a Dominator-style tuned exhaust pipe. This powerplant delivers an adrenaline-pumping experience that will redefine your expectations of RC speed and acceleration.

Rovan didn't just focus on power, though. They've reinforced the drivetrain with 33% larger driveshafts and an aluminium clutch mount, while the steel roll cage provides added durability for extreme off-road adventures. The addition of sway bars enhances handling, and MX rear tyres provide exceptional traction on loose surfaces. The NGK spark plug and Walbro carburetor ensure smooth and reliable engine operation, and the 45kg steering servo guarantees precise control over this powerful machine.

Wicked little beasty very fast and a loose back end great for sliding around. Not as loud as everyone makes out as loud or just a little bit more than an chain saw Definitely get the Aluminum Symmetrical Trun Symmetric Steering Kit. My stock one sucks and has trouble turning under load. But it’s great fun… almost broke my ankle lol

Awesome car, great fun and worth the extra effort to set it up! 4 things I recommend. 1. Loktite Everything. (Must do) 2. 7000rpm clutch. (More control and quieter.) 3. Silencer. The neighbors will call the police without it lol) 4. Symmetrical steering. (Makes it turn normally. Has the turning circle of a truck without it.) Dont attempt the work yourself without confidence.
