Hi, Yes those came stock on my Rovan. http://www.rovanrc.com/Truck_Knobby_Wheels_set_of_4_p/rv30.htm

Here's my Rovan 305A before a run this past Saturday. Got my outerwear kit which is installed and put on a new Rocket Pipe.

Hi, I know this has been shown too many times but why not one more. I purchased the battery on eBay for $15.00 and wiring it was simple. There several videos that show the 3 screws to remove on the Transmitter case. There are two at the base and one at the handle. You then simply desolder...

Thanks much for the input. After using dino oil for one tank for break in, I switched to the oil I plan to use. Also, after a gasket issue and replacing those, the mixtures need(ed) adjustment. I may have had a minor leak somewhere leaning things out a bit and didn't know it because since the...

Hi everyone, I hoping to clarify as per the title. If I fine tune my vehicle until I have good clean, responsive acceleration, and clean revs and power at the top end, without going overboard (too lean), am I risking starving the engine of enough lubrication? I am running 25:1...

Hi, Thank you for the reply! Actually, at first I was concerned that maybe some else was wrong or that I had done the ring placement on the piston wrong when replacing the gasket because it was running with a 'gurgle' at first. The engine had 1 and 1/4 tanks of fuel through it and I've used a...

Hi All, Thought I'd share this. I learned this years ago repairing strap locks on guitars. I've also used it on Motorcycle Fairings and it also works on Lexan. It's not pretty but it works and is strong. What I am repairing in this example is a 5B side pod that got baffed when a bit of an...

For all the Canadian guys in the forum. If you are on a budget and need a decent Inch-Pound Torque Wrench, I purchased one of these from Princess Auto; http://www.princessauto.com/pal/en/Torque-Wrenches/1-4-in-dr-Click-Type-Torque-Wrench/2922045.p For the use it will get and the price, it's a...

Good to know. One of the challenges is when you search even using Google Canada and you specify Canada in the search criteria, you get mostly results for US or International Shops for Baja Parts. As well, I didn't want to waste time trying to track down a Canadian place. I knew of a place out...

Mine definitely was a blown gasket. I've now replaced the exhaust and the cylinder gasket with steel reinforced. Hopefully no more problems. I only have about an hour of run time. I've been challenged with several issues with my buggy since getting it a month ago even though I took every...

The vehicle started to bog and stall recently before blowing a cylinder gasket. I replaced the cylinder gasket and the exhaust gasket while reassembling the cylinder assembley. There is plenty of spark but it won't easily start and when it does, it runs really bad, then eventually stalls. At...

Wiggle and or push your Kill Switch several times then check for spark. I had a faulty switch on mine cause starting issues right out of the box.

I live in this small city in Western Canada called HELL! You may have heard of it? I was in need of some maintenance parts after rough weekend. Hobby dealers are scarce here, let alone ones that carry what I needed and the price of couriers and Canada Post are quite outrageous. They had the...

I bought the Rovan 305A. It's the Aluminum upgraded 5B. 30.5cc. It's a pretty looking car with the Silver, Blue Body and Orange Anodized parts. Was a decent deal for what you get vs. buying then upgrading an HPI. I did a significant amount of research and because I'm not necessarily brand...

That's exactly what I'm doing with my 5B. I got a set of asphalt tires so I have the best of both worlds available. It reminds me of a sort of mini Indy car when on the pavement. They are fun on pavement. The road tires are a bit wider and lower. They get pretty warm and grippy too. :) I...

Thanks for the reply MaddMike. Watched one of the Team Fast Eddy engine build vids and saw how the head, piston assembly go together. Already had the engine cover and coil off to install a Super Bee so learned the business card gap process. It all looks like I figured it would be. Now that I...

Terribly disappointing day! A nearly new 5B... as in 1 1/4 tanks of fuel and without getting into the crappy details, it has a blown cylinder gasket. Is there a tutorial or video on how to replace this? It looks obvious enough. I am just wondering if I can get away with removing the head (4...
