Running pretty damn good for right out of the box! The Bajas are always a good time!
What a nice, well mannered pup!
Oh yeah it runs great. Thanks man he's a good dog!
Just got mine bout a week ago, i upgraded the gears to metal, upgraded the battery pack from the stock 1500mah to a 5000mah hump pack put some spike wheel lugs on, and my dual black exuast will be here tomorrow....i also gave it a cone shaped air filter for better performance...gonna end up taking it to a hobby shop to get me going
Sweet man. Sounds sick!
Good to see you back bud.
Thanks man 👍😎
Oh it'll get BROKEN for sure😉 nice buggy
With me driving that's a guarantee 😂
The whole video I just felt for that poor kid standing there twiddling his thumbs looking at this new RC car and not even getting a 30 second go of it LoL! Even if the car was mine, I would have let him have a go, coz i know I got it for a long time ... hand that control over there Mr Geedy! HaHa! Cool video btw, love the Baja's! :)
He actually drove it more than me, but he was scared of it so he idled around so most of his driving wasn't in the video 😂
@@GussCustomCreations hmm ... ok, il take your word for it ... im sure he will speed up a bit once he gets some more seat time :) Btw, do you still have the 5B? Is it still going strong?
@@charliebrown238 yeah he has driven it a lot since then and is getting better. Still works great but too much snow to run it until spring probably
That yard sure looks familiar to me for some reason hmmm ..
My yard has a twin? 🤣🤣
I think I prefer the King Motor KM002 or 3 as the hop up parts makes it cheaper in the long run though here in Asia there around around 400 USd so a bang for the buck.
Yeah you're not wrong. At the time I purchased this one though there was a bigger price gap and they are now closer so the King Motor probably would be a better deal
@GussCustomCreations in Australia where I came from the difference in price is not so bad. Now I work and live in Malaysia rhe Rovan is dirt cheap but the King Motor is 2 to 3 tines the price hope to pick one up on a work trip to America in October.
That thing is sweet can't wait to see how it does now that it's broken in
Yeah its sick man!
Will be nice to see you open that thing up in a wide open dirt area 👍
This video is about 2 months old, have it well broken in and already wore out the rear tires and replaced. Wide open video soon hopefully 🤠
@@GussCustomCreations OH!!!! that's awesome sir! 👍
Ive never owned a 2wd 1/5 scale. But this one looks like a blast!
It's a blast for sure. Hopefully have a wfo run video soon
3:29 the majority of us break or have broken the rear shock tower brace. its a part that takes a lot of beating upon landings.. specially if you really jump it high.
So far I have yet to break that in the year and a half I have had it but it came with the aluminum one so that could be why.
I've just purchased one and I'm just wondering if its normal for it to move just bout on full throttle. It's still bring new haven't even finished a full tank..
If you mean not move until full throttle, that is normal on the settings on the carb they come with. They set them really rich to make sure they don't blow up during break in. You should be able to lean the main needle a little so it drives better, but keep it on the rich side until its broken in. You can also check the carb to make sure the radio is set up correctly, to make sure the throttle is opening all the way. It may not be adjusted correctly.
now you have owned it awhile how do you feel about it man much breakages etc ?
Haven't broken anything yet. We ran 2 gallons through it so far. I stripped the hex on a set of Amazon wheels and tires I put on it. Not good in the winter though, maybe get the track and ski set for next winter 🥶
30.5cc? Do you wish you got a bigger motor? I’m trying to decide now between 30.5/36/45cc
Honestly since I put the velocity stack and filter on it it's a beast. Anymore power would be too much honestly without some upgrades to widen it and improve handling. I have several videos on this one with the upgrade on my channel if you want to check it out
@@GussCustomCreations can you let me know which velocity stack and filter you bought for yours? Having a hard time finding a velocity stack that fits the rovan motor. Thanks! 😎
@@hamsandwhich3378 I have the link to the filter and stack on a comment in my velocity stack video. If you can't find it let me know and I'll get it for you
What did you pay for it ?
$450
Awesome video buddy 😀 🇬🇧
Thanks 👍
How are your carb setting set
Depends on the day. Have to tune them a little for the temperature to get it just right. For the break in I left them stock which was super rich.
I miss mine. Those were so much fun
That's for sure. I have a blast with it!
What cc did you get
That is the 30.5cc.
Just ordered mine today 😁
Heck yeah man, it's a blast! I don't regret it at all. So much fun! 👍😎
Can you add a kill switch with the transmitter that comes with it.
Yes sir. I only changed the transmitter because I have a couple I use on all my RC.
@@GussCustomCreations so if you don’t install the kill switch. What are the chances of the RC to take off on you.
@@johnwicked9301 With the kill switch hooked up, and the fail safe enabled on the radio, the chances are pretty much 0. There is a chance a servo gets stuck or broken and sticks the throttle, but then you have the kill switch button on the transmitter to shut it off.
@@johnwicked9301 I think I misread your question. It's pretty low if you have the fail safe enabled but there are scenarios where it can happen. I ran gas for 3 years without a runaway on 3 different cars.
@@GussCustomCreations thank you for answering my question. I ordered one yesterday with a kill switch just in case.
