The RC wheelbase is long and narrow, so it looks like it will easily fall over when cornering, but I was wrong. The engine sound is so nice to hear. This is a great video.👍👍👍
@HardcoreRC Жыл бұрын
Does look long and narrow and like it would fall over more, think due to being rear wheel drive and the weight being at the back it helps just make the rear end slide round, do plan on extending the rear width though. Engines do sound sweet,. Thank you for watching and glad you enjoyed 👍👍

My roommate bought the hpi racing FORD GT40 race car rtr. Couldn't keep it straight to even reach the advertised 70 mph speed out of the one ten rc. Then to top it off, our local rc store doesn't carry parts for hpi cars. They look great but they are more costly and almost no parts support.
@HardcoreRC Жыл бұрын
Sadly not many cars every hit the claimed top speed, I'm sure they took the number out that same book can manufactures use to make up the miles per gallon 😂 sadly as well not manly local shops ever carry many spares, normally spares comes down to ordering online which sucks, or the local shop will say we can get in for next week

Loved my Rovan, unfortunately I made the mistake of spunking over £500 making mine electric,all the fun was sapped out of it so I sold it. Defo plan on buying another for next summer though only this time I'll be keeping it petrol😁 If I could make a suggestion,buy the front under chassis front strengthening plate(it's a bit of a weak spot if like me you cartwheel it in a crash)change the hubs for the wider ones(no circlips)and change the tires for the pioneer one's (I think that's what they're called?from RCmodelz) Also at the same time I owned mine 2 of the lads had HPI baja's and we all agreed the Rovan,believe it or not,seemed to have tougher parts ie arms,drive shafts to name just a few. Incidentally,my old one has been for sale on eBay for a few months under the guise as a 'rare hpi baja electric' Not by me though I'd like to add Lol
@HardcoreRC Жыл бұрын
That's a shame, i think its the noise and smell that sucks you into the experience, have two friends that hat Losi 5t brushless and whilst they are fast its just not the same, they are missing the experience. Yes i put a Innovative RC front under chassis brace on, also will put a top brace on as well as have seen what can happen 😂. Axel extenders are on the shopping list, just wasn't sure which ones to get and if just the rear or the front as well, will have a look for the pioneer tyres. Hopefully you can another one in the summer and enjoy the sweet sound of the petrol engine

I've had a Rovan for ages. I upgraded minor parts to HPI, as well as the chassis and shocks. Rovan shocks in the early days were god awful. I've never had an issue with it. Zenoahs are an awesome engine, and the only difficult choice is, what muffler you end up going with. Run the motor in properly, and check every nut and bolt after running, and you'll be set.

@HardcoreRC Жыл бұрын
That is a very good question, although from what i can tell all the Rovan king motor etc parts fits anyway and there is a ton of after market parts for them. Just don't get where the hug price difference comes from
@EMPIRERC Жыл бұрын
To be fair it’s half the price because it’s less than half the quality. The hpi is better value. The aluminum and plastic is stronger the tolerances are better also the rovan engines and electronics are prone to catastrophic damage very early in their lifespan. Have patience and replace broken parts with quality upgrades and you should be fine though
@HardcoreRC Жыл бұрын
Not sure its half the quality, i sold the engine and the radio so all in i have £294 in the car, that a difference of £405, thats a lot of upgrades i could add that would surpass the HPI by a long way. On the Lois 5t when the Losi plastic parts have broken i have replaced with cheaper plastic parts and have not noticed any difference in quality or fitment, from what i have learnt is the very early Rovan's there were issues, but those issues have long gone. A staright up example is the HPI comes with a plastic clutch carrier than melts, the Rovan came with a metal carrier. I guess time will tell though
