Description

The Rovan 29cc Baja V2 5B takes the classic petrol buggy formula found on the popular V1 and upgrades it to be tougher, faster, and more stable for an incredible off-road experience. This massive 1/5 scale machine is perfect for petrolheads looking for an engaging hobby that doesn't break the bank. With a drivetrain that has been widened by 25mm and a factory-fitted symmetrical steering system, you get a buggy that handles corners with more confidence and precision than the original model.

Under the updated roll cage sits a reliable 29cc 4-bolt engine producing 3.5hp, which works alongside a redesigned direct output exhaust to reach speeds over 65 km/h. The V2 also introduces a fresh new look, combining a sleek black aluminium chassis with bronze-finished shocks and Dirt Buster V2 wheels.

Whether you are screaming through a flat paddock or taking on a technical dirt track, the Baja V2 5B provides the raw torque and high-speed performance that large-scale petrol enthusiasts crave.

New Colour Range

The Baja series comes in a range of new, modern look, block colours that are sure to stand out. Each colour has been carefully chosen to complete the fresh look of the Baja V2, with the bronze shocks, black chassis and new Dirt Buster v2 rims all working together to create an amazing, eye-catching masterpiece!

Sleek Design

The Baja V2 Sports an aggressive, almost F1 style body shell and new sleek black aluminium chassis. This incredible looking baja is ready to catch the eye of rivals and admirers alike and is sure to impress thanks to its carefully crafted design, as well as providing the required toughness you expect from the 1/5 petrol basher.

3.5hp 29cc Power

The 290A V2 is equipped with a fabulously reliable and powerful 29cc engine. This 4-bolt 3.5hp engine has been paired with a wide range of upgrades to help propel the Baja to speeds in excess of 65 kph, straight out of the box! Simply run it in and you're good to go!

Tweaked Suspension Design

The Baja's revamped suspension delivers a smoother, more controlled ride. Newly designed shocks, featuring a striking bronze finish, provide improved damping and responsiveness, while adjustable settings allow you to fine-tune the handling to your liking.

Redesigned Exhaust Layout

The Baja V2 features a redesigned direct output exhaust for improved performance. Thanks to this new design, coupled with the slew of additional upgrades, the Baja V2 rockets to a top speed in excess of 65 KPH!

Symmetrical Steering

The Rovan Baja V2 series now come equipped with the popular symmetrical steering upgrade installed as standard. This upgrade greatly improves the turning circle of the Baja and increases steering performance dramatically given you a more rounded experience.

Aluminium Clutch Mount

The V2 features a super strong, aluminium clutch mount. This heavy duty, but lightweight, design ensures that the motor mount has a solid base to sit on and provides a rock solid mount for the clutch to ensure maximum clutch engagement every single time!

Widened Stance

The V2 Baja is equipped with a 25mm wider drivetrain that dramatically improves handling and stability on rough terrain. This extra width provides a more planted feel, helping you focus on nailing every corner with confidence while the redesigned screw pin hex eliminates the risk of losing C-Clips during high-speed runs or maintenance.

7000 RPM Clutch

This Rovan now comes standard with a high-performance 7000 RPM clutch. This upgrade delivers improved acceleration and smoother power transfer, vastly improving the Baja's overall performance.

Gen2 Dirt Buster Wheels

Not only do the rims now look more sleek and modern, they have been wrapped with the impressive Gen2 Dirt Buster Tyres. These high grip tyres provide better traction on all surfaces and work with the rest of the upgrades to provide a more stable and consistent experience.

LED Ready Roll Cage

The V2 Baja Sports a new, lightweight plastic roll cage designed to flex and protect the chassis and components much better. Additionally, this sleek black cage is LED ready with a rally style roof LED mount ready for you to install lights of your choice. With this additional LED capacity, you can keep your bashing sessions running late into the night!
