American seller for the Rovan?

[jlobbia]

Hey guys, I am going to convert a Rovan Baja into a mini WRC Rally with a 3d printed shell. However, I do NOT want to buy from banggood as their customer service is nonexistent and their shipping is like three months. (Trust me, I bought stuff for drone racing and half the stuff didn't turn on). Does anyone know an American seller that sells the 29cc Baja?

I don't know of any State side sellers, but that all aluminum version is pretty stinking sick looking. $2500 is a little steep though.

Only reason I'm getting a rovan is because it is under 500.

I bought mine from a ebay company out of NY. With tax I paid just a few bucks over 500. His id on ebay is "rovanrc" and he stocks a ton of parts.
For the record, I ran my baja at the sand dunes this morning after several tanks breaking it in and I am very impressed. Not the fastest car in the world but it wrote the book on fun..
Unfortunately my arrma typhon didn't survive....

I am across the states from him but still received it in less than a week. Again I am thrilled with it...
I am going to buy another one and build a shelf queen. The wife told me so....

The guy named rovanrc has one 1/5 buggy on his store but it is 849$.

I think it was out of NY ,but there is stores in places like in the Bay area of the West coast an LA Calif.!

I got mine quite a few years ago ,so I dont know the store!

You might check this brand out as well ,but the store seems to be out of stock ,they may have to get a shipment!

Nice. But 775 is a little out of my price range. And besides, I don't think those are compatible with the hpi baja series.

$489 was the base price before tax and again it was just over $500 with tax. The Baja that is shown is the 45cc model and the Baja that I bought is the 30.5cc
I'm guessing he is sold out because I no longer see them..
