ShengQi 1/5th Scale Petrol Radio Controlled Baja Buggy
The ShengQi Baja Buggy.....The Ultimate RC Car!
The first thing that you will notice when you open the box is the massive size and the excellent carbon shell. Unique to these models, the glossy finsihed shell looks amazing. Everything you need is included and as these are actual petrol powered models you can get the fuel from a petrol station rather than having to visit a model shop to get special fuel like you have to with the nitro models.
Unlike a nitro radio controlled car, the petrol RC baja runs on a mix of normal unleaded petrol and 2 stroke oil. Both of these are available from any petrol station which makes them more practical and cheaper to run than a nitro model. Mixing the petrol is very easy. You simply fill up a petrol can with 5 litres of unleaded at the petrol station then pour in 250ml of 2 stroke oil. This oil is usually found inside petrol stations with the other oils.
If you look at other 1:5 scale petrol RC cars on the market you will see even though they are more expensive they usually don't include everything you need and you have to go out and buy your own radio equipment, special 1:5 scale steering servo, electronics battery pack and charger. With this package everything you need is included, even a high capacity rechargeable battery pack with UK charger for the receiver and servos and a tool kit with all the tools needed to maintain the buggy. Both the servo and radio equipment are OEM Futaba which means they are made in the Futaba factory to ensure they are good quality and reliable.
If you are looking for a quality petrol RC buggy you will not find a better package for anywhere near this price. Hard aluminium chassis, centrifugal clutch, helical toothed differential, central gearbox, big fuel tank, over length oil filled shocks, the ShengQi Baja Buggy ticks all the boxes!

Good fun. The buggy is an absolute beast only prob is that is collects grass in the side of the shell and shell is fragile. Customer Rating 4.5/5
