The beloved Rovan Baja has received a range of exciting upgrades!

For years, the Baja has been a favourite among 1/5 Scale Petrol buggy enthusiasts, and Rovan has taken the best features of the original model and improved them. With a drivetrain that is now 25 mm wider, symmetrical steering as standard, upgraded shocks, and more robust suspension arms, the 290A V2 is an exceptional driving experience!

Additionally, the Baja now boasts a direct output exhaust, which reduces weight while boosting speed and power, allowing it to reach impressive speeds of over 65 kph!

The Baja V2 also features a fresh new aesthetic with an updated roll cage, dirt buster V2 wheels, and sleek black aluminium chassis, giving it the looks to match its all terrain conquering capability!

The Baja is an essential addition for petrol enthusiasts of all experience levels!

New Colour Range

The Baja series comes in a range of new, modern look, block colours that are sure to stand out. Each colour has been carefully chosen to complete the fresh look of the Baja V2, with the bronze shocks, black chassis and new Dirt Buster v2 rims all working together to create an amazing, eye-catching masterpiece!

Sleek Design

The Baja V2 Sports an aggressive, almost F1 style body shell and new sleek black aluminium chassis. This incredible looking baja is ready to catch the eye of rivals and admirers alike and is sure to impress thanks to its carefully crafted design, as well as providing the required toughness you expect from the 1/5 petrol basher.

3.5hp 29cc Power

The 290A V2 is equipped with a fabulously reliable and powerful 29cc engine. This 4-bolt 3.5hp engine has been paired with a wide range of upgrades to help propel the Baja to speeds in excess of 65 kph, straight out of the box! Simply run it in and you're good to go! 

Tweaked Suspension Design

The Baja's revamped suspension delivers a smoother, more controlled ride. Newly designed shocks, featuring a striking bronze finish, provide improved damping and responsiveness, while adjustable settings allow you to fine-tune the handling to your liking. 

Hex-Keyed Pinion Gear

The Rovans drivetrain has been made even tougher thanks to the hex keyed pinion gear! This ensures that there is greater security and strength for the pinion and ensures you maintain a consistent mesh, allowing for better longevity and performance. 

Additionally, the pinion gear is manufactured from steel to provide the highest level of durability!

Redesigned Exhaust Layout

The Baja V2 features a redesigned direct output exhaust for improved performance. Thanks to this new design, coupled with the slew of additional upgrades, the Baja V2 rockets to a top speed in excess of 65 KPH!

Symmetrical Steering

The Rovan Baja V2 now come equipped with the popular symmetrical steering upgrade installed as standard. This upgrade improves the turning circle of the Baja and increases steering performance dramatically!

Aluminium Clutch Mount

The Baja V2 features a super strong, aluminium clutch mount. This heavy duty, but lightweight, design ensures that the motor mount has a solid base to sit on and provides a rock solid mount for the clutch to ensure maximum clutch engagement every single time!

Widened Stance

The V2 Baja Sports a massive 25 mm wider drivetrain. This upgrade has done wonders and improved the handling dramatically, helping you focus on nailing that corner! Additionally, the Hex has been redesigned with a screw pin design to eliminate C-Clips flying off, never to be found. 

7000 RPM Clutch

The Baja now comes standard with a high-performance 7000 RPM clutch. This upgrade delivers improved acceleration and smoother power transfer, vastly improving the Baja's overall performance.

Gen2 Dirt Buster Wheels

Not only do the rims now look more sleek and modern, they have been wrapped with the impressive Gen2 Dirt Buster Tyres. These high grip tyres provide better traction on all surfaces and work with the rest of the upgrades to provide a more stable and consistent experience. 

LED Ready Roll Cage

The V2 Baja Sports a new, lightweight plastic roll cage designed to flex and protect the chassis and components much better. Additionally, this sleek black cage is LED ready with a rally style roof LED mount ready for you to install lights of your choice.
