LoL I love it in the late 80s we built RC cars from weed eater motors and people thought we were crazy and here they are... too good
Also check under the stop button cover that the button isn't stuck. Can happen, and makes you think it wont start.
Great tip!
My stop button hung in would not start
Mine just arrived today 😃 it is awesome 👍 can’t wait to drive it! Charging the battery as im writting this. Thanks heaps Hobbies Direct, it ls been great dealing with you guys.
Enjoy!
@@HobbiesDirect Thank you! Its awesome 😁
Do you know where i can take it for service? Mine wont start
Any good hobby shop or small engine mechanic should be able to help.@@witch4235
@HobbiesDirect thanks a lot. Can u please tell me what gas oil ratio you use?
What’s the best temp for engine break in before shutting off for a cool down
Great vidio ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks! Hope it was helpful!
I love your Video very simple and easy. Thank you keep up the great work your doing
Nice! Happy to help!
This video is awesome. Thank you. Its a big help for me and all another begginer "im a begginer in 1/5-petrol rc type" and this video is a big help ans answers for my questions. Thank you and have a great year 👏
So glad to hear this! That's exactly why this video was made 😀
Bashfest next weekend (24th) three day 1/5th scale event for bashing/racing/camping etc if you're in the UK.
Let us know how it went!
I'm pretty sure this was aimed at me... 😄😄😄😄😄😄
Got one 2 weeks ago... already drowned it, rebuilt it and had heaps of fun!
Be lost without @hobbiesdirect
And now I know what the toe shims are! 😁
And make sure you dont get full throttle runaway into a swamp 🤣😂😭😭😭
Haha it's been in the pipeline for a while, but glad it helped!
Now that the real HPI has started production for the Baja 5B again you should buy that instead of this clone, HPI quality is way better.
Hi Aaron, cool video that really helped me! I was wondering if we could use a fuel which has an octane rating of 98RON or higher because in my country we have Shell VPower which is 99RON and we also have 100RON. I would like to know if it is safe to run the engine with those fuels. Thanks!
A lot of those higher-octane fuels have a high ethanol content, which is not something the Rovan engine and fuel system likes; stick to regular.
I see, but my country has banned ethanol fuels to be sold in stations so my country has ethanol free gas from 95RON (regular) to 100RON. should I still go for it? I know this car needs a minimum of 91RON but I just want to try a higher octane fuel and see if it runs differently. Thanks!
Hi, I followed your video step by step on my new baja, it started running for about 10 seconds then cut out, should I repeat the choke on choke off again? I just don't want to flood it
You should be able to just pull start it again, no choke procedure.
Did they upgrade the frame on these ? I had one about 5 years ago and the frame was cheaply made with pot metal had to reinforce it and fix it
I've had one for about 6 years and it runs perfect
So cool! What a great video ❤. I have a question,
Can I break in, my Roavan baja 5b 29cc in one go!, Before my battery dies?, its a HPI Battery 6.0v 4300mah 25.8wh. I have no idea how long that battery last before hitting 0%
As long as the battery is in good condition, you should get a good couple of hours out of that battery - easy enough run time to do break in 🙂
🙏🏻 Thank you so much ❤,
Do you guys have plans to ship to the US in the future?
No immediate plans, but we do get asked this a lot, so maybe one day!
Hi would to know if hat is the best way to install a manual kill switch on the Baja 1/5 scale buggy.
We'll have to do a video on that! Basically they plug into the third channel on the receiver, and work in line with the existing killswitch button.
I wonder why the fuel goes off in the tank but not if you remove it. What’s the difference?
It will still go off in the tank, but not as slow as the container. You mostly remove it so that it doesn't go bad in the tank and gunk stuff up.
Is 26 cc oil & gas mixture ? Or only certain bigger engines ???
Yes, they run on 2-stroke fuel, which is a mixture of petrol and oil. The recommended ratio is in this video - 25:1 fuel to oil.
Do all of these hpi Baja require oil & gas mixture???
Yes they do, they run on 2-stroke fuel, which is a mixture of petrol and oil. The recommended ratio is in this video - 25:1 fuel to oil.
Dang what motor is in there that it wheelies lol? My baja q shorty won’t even wheelie like that
It's the stock 29cc! We thought the same thing, it's just a good one haha
BASSTAATDDD
what is the correct fuel ratio you say 25-1 but you also say 40ml per 1 liter?
Those are the same number. 25:1 is 25 parts fuel to one part oil, or 40ml of oil in 1 litre of fuel.
ok sorry i get confuse when comes to fuel oil ratio @@HobbiesDirect
can i use Penrite instead of Castrol 2 stroke oil
As long as it's a high performance fully synthetic 2-stroke oil, like what you'd put in a motorbike (not what you'd put in a lawnmower) you can use any brand you like 🙂
thank you@@HobbiesDirect
Kill switch recommended, manage to grab mine by the exhaust from running away lol
Careful! haha
My charger is gone do you know where i can by a new?
Any good hobby shop should be able to help :-)
What if the remote has been lost what if should do
Buy a replacement? Depending on what remote your car came with, they can be pretty cheap and easy to get :-)
My next Car I’m ordering from Hobbies Direct
And you'll be able to get it up and running so easily now! 😁
Still can’t believe I got 2 of these for $110 and they run and complete and spares
Bargain!
Because they were stolen. That's the only way.
Used? And where lol, wanting to get into gas and this is one of the most affordible options for large scale.
I have a 30.5 motor reed it reeves but don’t move how can I get it to move so I can drive it around it’s a brand new motor
Have you checked the clutch and spur gear?
My buggy won't start..can you guys help me to find the problem?
Does it have fuel and spark?
How to increase acceleration force baja Rc car ?
A tuned pipe could really open it up if you don't have one already :-)
Hello can any body help me? My buggy starts but won’t move when I press gas ? Any ideas??
Are you giving it plenty of revs? They have to rev higher than you'd think for the clutch to engage. Otherwise, check the clutch and the spur gear 🙂
@@HobbiesDirect yes I gave it 2-3 high revs but not that high any higher I think I might be messing something up it is a baha 5t 32cc first start up soon I will start up again warm the engine in .. 1/5 scale perfect start
Good luck!@@YTJosephc
@@HobbiesDirect the 2 screws by the carb looks like this \ / so I’m not sure if that is got to do with it , it sounded abit on the high rev side I think but it was calm enough to keep running
Check out our video on how to reset the carb ruclips.net/video/mAken9d6qD4/видео.html@@YTJosephc
Mine arrived today! But cant start it. I follow all the instructions but it doesn’t work😢😢
Oh no! Definitely have spark and doing the choke procedure properly? Get in touch with our customer service team and we'll get you sorted 🙂
cool engine hahahaha😎🥶
Sure is!
What engine is in that buggy
29cc, the stock Rovan engine.
I thought 25 to 1 is 250 mil of oil to 1 ltr off fuel.not 200 mil? This is why I don't listen to youtubers who give you bad info
250ml of oil in 1 litre of petrol (1000ml) is a ratio of 4:1, (or 1000 : 250, if that's easier to understand). The correct ratio, as in the video, is 25:1, which is 1 litre of petrol with 40ml of oil. Use 200ml of oil for making 5 litres of fuel.
So it is not an HPI product.
Not real difference, in fact rovans Nylon plastics are a lot more durable than HPI
