Highlights

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.

45cc Power
The 450S sports a powerful 45cc engine that has been paired with a Walbro 1191 carbie and NGK dual ring spark plug. This beefy engine provides an incredible level of torque and speed, so you don't have to worry about anything but chasing that perfect bashing experience!

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.

Symmetrical Steering
The Rovan E-Baja 8S 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.

Sport Tuned Exhaust
For additional power and torque, this Baja has been fitted with the powerful sport tuned exhaust! This exhaust not only provides awesome 2 stroke noise, it ensures that the Baja has all the additional power and torque you need to bash wherever you want.

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.

Hex-Keyed Pinion Gear
The clutch bell and pinion are machined from high-strength steel to handle the heat and load of high-speed petrol running. The hex-keyed design locks the pinion securely in place, eliminating slip under hard acceleration and delivering reliable, long-term drivetrain performance.

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 overall performance of the vehicle.

Flysky GT3B
This Rovan comes equipped with the FlySky GT3B radio, which features a large backlit LCD screen for easy navigation and readability. This radio allows you to store settings for up to 10 different vehicles with its built-in model memory. Being a FlySky radio, you can expect a high level of accuracy and reliability that is expected in the large 1/5 scale RCs.

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!

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!

Verified buyerLove it Its Great fun
Angus T
Quality is pretty bad. The pull starter broke after 10 attempts of starting it. It never pulled it hard or too far past its limit, so I’m a bit upset. I gotta wait for a new one now. I can’t even drive it. Other than that I had it idling for a few minutes and was impressed with the sound it makes. Fives stars if it never broke 👍

Question: hello does this come with a remote killswitch
Share what you knowDanielStaffAnswer:No, this buggy does not come with a remote kill switch from the factory.
It includes a manual engine kill button on the engine block, along with a built-in failsafe in the Flysky GT3B radio system that returns the throttle servo to neutral or brake if radio signal is lost.
If you want to cut the engine remotely from your transmitter, a 3rd-channel remote engine kill switch module needs to be purchased and fitted separately.
