Rovan RC 1/5 Scale 5B Baja Buggy 29cc Gasoline Engine Big Yellow Hornet Body

Description

• Big Yellow Hornet Performance and 1/5 Scale RC Power

  The Big Yellow Hornet delivers aggressive performance, strong engineering, and dependable power for serious drivers. This Rovan RC 1/5 scale 5B Baja Buggy runs a powerful 29cc single-cylinder gasoline engine that reaches 40+ MPH. It offers sharp throttle response, confident handling, and impressive stability on dirt, grass, sand, and mixed terrain. From the first pull, it feels fast, controlled, and ready for real off-road action.

  Strong Build Quality and Big Yellow Hornet Components

  This Big Yellow Hornet buggy uses high-strength materials designed to run hard and survive real crashes. The drivetrain uses an 8,000 RPM clutch, tuned exhaust, and reinforced transmission hardware. Steering and throttle operate through metal gear servos for strength and accuracy. The updated suspension system uses reinforced arms and 6mm shocks that handle jumps and rough ground while maintaining control. In addition, the second-generation wasteland tires deliver excellent traction and grip across off-road surfaces.

  Durable Chassis and Practical Design

  The chassis uses proven large-scale engineering. Dimensions measure 32.17 inches long, 18.9 inches wide, and 10.04 inches high, with a 22.44 inch wheelbase. Weight is about 34 pounds, which provides stability at speed. The Big Yellow Hornet body gives great visibility, strong shell integrity, and an aggressive look. Furthermore, the electronics run on a built-in 6V battery, and the 2.4GHz RC system maintains long, reliable control range.

  Easy Setup, Reliable Running, and Fueling

  This 1/5 scale buggy arrives ready to run after wheel installation and battery charging. Charging is simple, because the plug design allows charging without taking parts apart. After charging, let the battery cool, then drive. Fuel uses a 25:1 gasoline to oil ratio. Quality mineral-based two-stroke oil keeps the engine cleaner and reduces plug fouling. Starting is straightforward with choke, primer, and short pull starts.

  Break-In, Operation, and Maintenance

  Break the engine in gradually with short runs and cool-down cycles. After several controlled runs, you can begin full-power driving. Before each session, check bolts, exhaust fasteners, and drivetrain hardware. Thread locker is recommended for critical components. Although aluminum upgrades are popular, reinforced ABS plastic parts often survive real crashes better because they flex instead of fracturing adjoining components.

  Compatibility and Platform Benefits

  This Big Yellow Hornet platform is compatible with many 1/5 scale parts. It supports engines from 23cc to 32cc and matches components common to Rovan, HPI Baja, RV, CY, KM 5B, 5T, and 5SC models. Therefore, upgrades, repairs, tuning parts, and accessories are widely available, making long-term ownership easier and more cost-effective.

  Important Notice and Responsibility

  This is real gas-powered RC equipment. It runs fast, produces heat, and requires responsible use. Exhaust parts get extremely hot, and impact risks exist. Always operate safely, maintain distance from people and pets, and wear proper protection.
