I thought it was a rip-off.

That is good news,especially considering how much cheaper it is than the HPI. Have you had any breakage with it.

I didn't have any problems, but i drove about 3-4 tanks.

Here's my brushless converted 5ive t I got off another RCG user and am rebuilding

Love that body! Is that sheet metal? I've got a rivet gun I've never used

Me too...cool body. Let us know what it is made of Disp0sablehero.

Got the body from redxrc.com
Guy named Jason makes em there not sheet metal but a thick plastic that I'm sure will hold up better than sheet metal as that would be 1. Heavy and 2. Far to rigid to absorb blows though a sheet body would look pretty sweet :-D best priced body too at 85 shipped! Check out his work simple but functional and good looking

now those are cool!!! Love the hot rod

I broke my rovan My fault

Rovan Hobbyking Baja 260s bashing and crash (hpi, 5b) (1 min 32 sec)

So, why do you consider that break your fault?

BTW, Nice slow-mo jump in there.

I agree doesn't look to be your fault..... Now if you were driving like this...Losi 5ive t bash:

Losi 5ive t bash (1 min 9 sec)

.... Then I'd agree with you :-D sick slow mo should hit up a track and do that looks awesome

Nice video!

Not to knock the rovans too much ....but the parts just arnt as strong as the hpi parts. Upgrade your parts with at least hpi original as the break

Hi, i think it is at least in part my fault because there is a big rut there and i shuouldn't drive there. You can see in video the moment when wheel hit in the rut. But probably You're right and rovan isn't so strong as hpi.

Disp0sablehero Nice jumps

There is a durability issue between the two but that is why the Rovan is so much less than the Baja.

Just save up and buy a used 5ive :-D I didn't break a single part that whole day I beat it up, great platform losi came up with. You know they did it right when people opt for stock arms and parts over aluminum and the need isn't there enough for rpm to make anything for it
