Beer's Rovan 5B AliExpress Gamble

[Beer_Goggles_RC]

I'm creating this thread as an alternative to hijacking Tunedfrog's Rovan Baja 5b thread. (Sorry @Tunedfrog )

AliExpress currently has a 'Spend $269+ save $40' coupon that is available until 08/26

I've found a Rovan 5b on AliExpress for $378.31

With the $40 coupon this brings the total down to $338.41 (plus tax)

Crazy low price for a 1/5 scale gasser!

There seems to be some weariness on this forum (as there should be) to if this is a legit deal or not.

This seller has a large positive reputation on Aliexpress

And the item also has seemingly realistic positive reviews

Will I receive a large box of rocks and a Rovan 5b for super cheap?

Good luck!

No complaints what so ever on mine.
If your running into public cry babies TNT then perhaps it's time to find a new area to run.

$378.31 Baja Thing is huge! 1/8 buggy for scale. Good thing I have the XXL setup plate.

 

[Tunedfrog]

Awesome, you will have tons of fun with it.
However, they spelled baja wrong.

I’m glad you received it! I was watching this one hoping it was legit. Cool, good luck and let us know if you have troubles tuning or even starting that beast. 1/5 scale is awesome.
