Also outerwear makes a cover that goes underneath the engine that will keep grass and debris from packing up underneath the engine and the backside of the pull start. You will have to remove the engine.
That's cool you guys are listening to your viewer's. On the kill switch I would just order a fkysky 3 channel radio of ebay they are not that expensive. Rovan sells them also. Fkysky 3TGB
Nice to see someone doing something with these buggies and showing how they compare with the HPI 5B...makes me want to order one and do some videos as well 🤘🏼
I have a hpi 5t and a king motor/rovan clone 5b and honestly it’s all in how you take care of them besides some parts look different they all hold up bout the same buy what you can afford and have FUN that’s what matters
I would recommend using A symmetrical steering set up... Major upgrade and tighter steering circle makes running car in tighter area. And no more of the linkage poping off after you get time on the thing. Best money spent so far
U are great guys ,mi first rovan si coming to Costa Rica and i look every single vídeo of your channel to lear more of this RC Cars thanks for the help and all the tips
I took a fine steel mesh and put it on the inside of the frame and just super glued it with Gorilla Glue it's Howard very well and easy to wipe off the grass that gets stuck in there definitely helps for it not to be a grass catcher and overheat
The same thing happened to my Rovan but I ran into a very thin tree while I was accelerating lmao and it broke the chassis in the same spot as yours. You guys deserve more subscribers because this video helped me fix my buggy (it was a pain in the ass though) I followed everything you guys did and it really helped, thanks.
Sorry for the late reply. This slipped by my notifications. We actually have a kill switch and new radio ready to go for this. What kind of remote start do you have?
hola amigos, ay papi lol! Fun blooper at end, not the train! Great video for beginners to learn. you listen to advice and interaction with viewers. Muy Bien!!!!
New subscriber....enjoying the vids so far....as for grass they all do it, down here in Aus in the summer our grass is dry as hell and fills those side pods bad. The pull start cover you’ll be grateful for. Look forward to the next vid 🇦🇺👍🏻
I seen a dyno video the manufacturer made and if it's real it definitely dose work. Only down fall I could see is the "belt" more like rubber band would get stretched pretty quick. I just got into ⅕ scale and picked up a hpi baja 5b. Eventually once I get my buggy back in tip top shape(someone definitely had some fun) I will start chasing more power and "invest" into the supercharger. The 26cc rips pretty good but 10+ hp baja 5b sounds pretty interesting to me!!
Cool channel! Pretty stoked I found a HPI 5B SS heavily modified & adult owned 2nd hand for $900. I thought I was going to be limited to a clone but I’m thinking the extra couple hundred will get me a significantly better Baja. What’s your thoughts?
You need a 3 channel radio... check out dunmbo rc controller the best cheap radio you can by, and has more range then most $200 and $300 radios.... check them out...
@@BMPowered idk if. I wanna run my baja on a 38.99 radio .how good r they ?? . I was looking at a spectum dx5 or futoba but everyone is out . I have the org baja 5b that purple .
@@stevenmaines9114 They are great! They have great range. I have 4 of them. amzn.to/3qCYNzU. I get the appeal of the Futaba and stuff. One controller for everything, but if you don't wanna spend that much $$ all at once, the Dumborc is the way!

Thanks for the info!
what is this item u speak of any link for it?
Best RC Channel about 1:5 Bajas !!!
Thank you! We just have fun. Everything else is bonus!

Thanks! Yeah, we will most likely do that.

Thanks for the advice. May be an upgrade to consider.

Awesome! You will love it! Thank you for the kind words.
There is a airbag just like your pole start for underneath your motor and you should try a two speed transmission they work awesome with the raven 5B
Thanks for the feedback! Have a couple surprises coming up, but will definitely keep it in mind!

Thanks for the kind words. Glad we could help! Also, yes it was a pain, lol.
It’s to lean up top end, yes you need a 3rd channel for the kill switch, plenty of 6ch for cheap, can also get a remote start as I have one

I am waiting for my 30.5cc baja 5b to come in the mail, should be here Friday or Saturday
Own a baja 5bss myself. Great to see some new stuff. Keep up the wicked vids boys, I have subbed. Peace from London 👍👍👍😎
Thanks! London, huh? Awesome!
Oh yea we love the 5th scales over here in the UK !!
hola amigos, ay papi lol! Fun blooper at end, not the train! Great video for beginners to learn. you listen to advice and interaction with viewers. Muy Bien!!!!
Thanks Jose! Yes, that train always gets us, lol.
Get the hemi storm body works well keeping grass out!
Cool, thanks for the info!

Thanks! We did add a pull start cover, so hopefully that will help. Welcome to the fam!
Great vid !! If u guys gonna start jumpin then u gonna need some shock limiters,trust me...
Thanks for the advice!
What brands are there ? Can’t find anywhere in Australia so far ?
@@davidpaddock362 I found some on killer rc, amain hobbies. They are many kinds to choose from.
@@davidpaddock362 i could make u a set...
Good video as always mate !! Really enjoy your Baja upgrade videos . It's got me moving today to work on mine lol 👍
Thanks! Awesome, let us know how it goes!
@@BMPowered thanks man I certainly will 👍
You guys should try porting a cheap rovan engine!
How hard is that?
For a good upgrade you should do the 1/5 scale supercharge kit
Do they actually work?
I seen a dyno video the manufacturer made and if it's real it definitely dose work. Only down fall I could see is the "belt" more like rubber band would get stretched pretty quick. I just got into ⅕ scale and picked up a hpi baja 5b.

Rovan sales a gearing set for the 5b. 19/55 gearing. More top end and better acceleration.
Are those the metal gear sets or is it nylon or plastic? Was told to stay away from metal gearing, what are your thoughts on it?
@@BMPowered The pinion is metal and the spur gear is plastic. Like the stock gears.
Awesome! Thanks for that info. Going to check that out.
Cool channel! Pretty stoked I found a HPI 5B SS heavily modified & adult owned 2nd hand for $900. I thought I was going to be limited to a clone but I’m thinking the extra couple hundred will get me a significantly better Baja. What’s your thoughts?
For sure. It's hard to find anything HPI these days, so congrats!! Welcome to the fam!
You need other tyres in the back with more grip. Something like Hostile Nightmare.
get the flysky GT3B 3channel for sure
Thanks! Seems like the consensus!
Fly sky Bangood fs-gt3b GOD BLESS MAN
The Rippin' Rovan😃
Haha, that's funny!
You should make a ramp to jump it off of for a vid
You never know! :)
You need a 3 channel radio... check out dunmbo rc controller the best cheap radio you can by, and has more range then most $200 and $300 radios.... check them out...
Yeah, we have a couple. Great radio!
Do u have a link ?

@@BMPowered I also have a savage I would like run off of it.
that skid plate wont help when you hit a telephone pole
Got that right!
@@BMPowered what ? you done hit one ?
Yep: ruclips.net/video/zQUpshubIZc/видео.html
Keep it on dirt pavement no grass 😅
youre starving the engine of air with that air filter plastic thing on
Yeah, agree. Doesn't help that is sucks up grass in it too. May be changing it out soon.
Ok I'll subscribe lol
Lol, welcome to the fam!
@@BMPowered thanks what part of the country y'all in
@@jonathanharrington9648 Southern Ohio
@@BMPowered really I'm in Ohio my self
Tooo late...... I broke my chassis
would you sell this car?
Nope, no way.
2 channels means 2 channels. u need 3 atleast for that kill switch. Almost all have 3 these days exept the cheap shit.
Yeah, we learned, lol. We now have the right ones. We picked up 6 channel dumborc tx/rx. They rock!
