I just subscribed ... I'm a motorcycle street racer who've just got back into rc cars ( I was last in it 2005) . I love to see our folks ( black) into this hobby . I haven't ridden any of my bikes since being back into this hobby . Back in the day , gas cars were the top RC cars to have , now Electric cars have taken over . Totally understand , but I still love gas cars and even though I realize I gotta get electric , I still love gas . I'm getting ready to start my RC channel . Love your content and hope to see more ... Like me (40+ years old) needing a hobby ...
1st off thank you for the subscribe🙏🏽 Yeah I'm 45 and love the hobby or lifestyle as I call it. Nothing wrong with electric cars, but gas is where I'm at. I have a few electrics but they don't get used much. Can't wait to see your content. I'll definitely be checking it out soon!
I have 2 Rovan Baja’s. One I tore down and bought it up with a TMR 30.5 long rod. Does over 60 on concrete. The other was custom rebuilt by Jeff from Eastside RC and Alan from TMR built a mean 37 for it that just destroys gears. Pretty sure it will do between 80-100. They are solid RCs. Have fun brother. Good luck getting traction with those pins unless you run in sand/dirt. I ran VP C12 and Amsoil Saber in the stock 30.5 and it was fine.
Im in! I bought in for $300 and a 4 hour round trip. I wanted to convert it to an on road dragster like your gold one but now that Ive satisfied my anxiety I can see myself ordering a chassis and building from ground up.
Awesome Lance, this will be a great backup piece to have when you burn it down at the park with your off road drag club. Rovan gear has gotten a lot of people into 1/5 scale!
They are good rigs stock I like them a lot. The very first one I ever bought has a modded 34 in it and I haven’t touched a dang thing besides that. Takes a beating and keeps eating. Steering servo is bad now but it’s great in my opinion. People need to stop talking smack about them. I’m glad you got this buggy!
I not talking smack thats just the only part that I've have problems with is the out drive cups and come to think about it the diff gears to other than that it is a good car
@@kgm5512 just saying what happened to me with the rovan stuff not at all am I saying not to buy them with what I said you can put flm drives and kraken different gears and its just as good as a hpi shocks seem better than hpi you could replace what I said and still be cheaper than hpi
@@CrucialRCit's the truth bro I've been watching you for many many years when you were doing nitro so yes you do have a great great RUclips channel my real name is keon wells
Hi I may buy one next month but I don't know where can I buy them I know some people sell them on ebay but they are to expensive but I was looking on the rovan store on Google and I found them cheap but I don't know if trust and buy ther can some one recommend me buy my first buggy ther
I feel like this car has a loose engine. The mount on the clutch side was terrible and it was broken inevitably. I think the rear chassis should be updated with a thicker one or a steel material around it.
Haha I built my bajas from scratch. I have 2 of them bro. I needed something to play around and test with. You should already know me when it comes to these cars. There are several of these crushing the competition in offroad races. Can it be better? Yes no doubt. But for the price it's really not bad with a couple upgrades as it fails. I can fix anything on this baja in a matter of minutes. I'm going to take you guys on its journey to success. Lol

Awesome! Can't wait to see you at the track

Good to know! Thanks bro
The little gas cans are the coolest. I don't mix in them but great to carry enough gas on a day trip.
Agreed! Ok I may keep it

That's the plan! When on down time I'll play around for a few. Haha

Cool. I hope mine is as good as yours is 👍🏽

@@wades5thscaleforlife872hey man I wasn’t calling you out I really didn’t even see you say that about the outdrives.

@@CrucialRC bro it's a true pleasure to meet you we will be getting together this summer I plan on getting to one of your events
Bet. I can't wait bro👍🏽
Hey man would you recommend the 29cc Baja 5b for a beginner too 2 stroke 1/5 RCs been thinking of getting one but haven't decided yet
Hey Joel. Definitely. The 29cc is the best one in my opinion.
@@CrucialRC hell yeah thats great to hear honestly you've convinced me to get one thanks for the reply
Have fun!
Nice video good gift to self.
Yes indeed! Sometimes you gotta get yourself something😆
Ya got to have a Rofun in the garage to beat around on!..😂💯👍
Right ✅️
Great video brother
Much appreciated. Where you been bro??
How are the diffs on these babies?
I would def go thru them.
How do you get a discount code and will they ship to UK
From time to time they send discount codes in an email newsletter. Pretty sure they ship to UK.
How long dose the battery last
Sorry, I never keep track of that. I always put my cars on charge the night before I run so I never know how long it takes for a pack to run out.
🔥💯💪🏾
Thanks brotha
Outdrive cups first thing to go
Yeah Wade, seems like that's the thing for all rovans. Even the primal is the same way
Where can I find it at that price??
Rovanrc.com
Sweet man.. looks like there spelling baja with an h now lol baha
Lol. Prob has something to do with a trademark of the baja 5b. What you think FPV??
@CrucialRC that's a solid point man. Now that the hpi re release came out they prolly had to change it.. always on top of it crucial! 👍
Wicked little rig!
Looks good. Fingers crossed on the reliability.

WTF man, a Clone. Not yoouuuuu, my brotha what’s going on with you. If you needed a baja I could have Delivered one to you !!!
Haha. You be MIA man. I needed a test baja. Lol
First
My man!
Bro where do you get your stands picked up a rovan still in box in the process of moving but can’t find stands
I have a diy speaker stand video in my playlist. My other 2 types are axis and a heavy duty keyboard stand.
Fresh!
Gotta get 1 or 2 for the stable. Lol
The name of the company should be nofun racing because it's always broken from cheap parts
We shall see
Sorry buddy it's not a real baja it's a pos clone with cheap plastic and cheap motor cheap rubber tires. why didn't you just buy a real hpi baja
