Great video... Have you thought about a brushless conversion for it?

[@kellensautomotive]

You guys are awesome. Love this channel! Best 1/5 scale content on youtube

[@BMPowered]

Thank you for the kind words! It's very appreciated! Thank-you for being a viewer!!

[@mrbigdi395]

Let me refer you to botajel

[@kgm5512]

Hey guys good to see you back. Big truck big problem. Always check and loctite 1/5 scale! Stainless hardware is weaker than the stock hardware the black steel is stronger. If your guys really wanna have fun put a set of 195x80 on there and watch that thing rip!!!! Keep making content👍👍🤙🤙🤙

[@kgm5512]

Hope you guys are doing well. Miss seeing your content.

[@thunderrc]

Awesome vid and review bro! I just bought this truck so your video helped me a lot man! Subbed you bro! ⚡️🚀🧨

[@BMPowered]

Awesome thanks!! Welcome!

[@FifthScaleOrBustRc]

Exactly, you HAVE to go through any new rig and check the bolts and loctite all bolts threading into metal! Awesome you got a Max T! Im the one that actually designed and built the first ever Rovan Baja Max TS, Rovan loved what i created and made it a production model just a fun fact, still blows my mind lol whole build series and worlds first run of it is on my channel if your bored 👍 I have a TON of spare baja max parts like SHOCKS a arms dog bones etc lmk if you need anything ill donate it to you and the channel brother 🤝🤘

[@BMPowered]

Thank you. Appreciate it!

[@billallen4793]

I'm going to get one of these after Christmas, what size engine do you recommend. The 71cc looks over powered, which I NEVER say, about anything!...lol But watching some video's with the big engine it looks wild. I'm at altitude, so that will kill some power, my driveway is 6,000ft elevation, the mtns go to 13 000ft. How does it handle skatepark's, and big jumps to concrete? Thank you, God bless 🙌 you and yours this holiday season 🙏 !..from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 👋 🤠

[@adamruddockshrek]

Tech tip for you . Drill those bolt holes o the steering triangle to the next size up and use a bigger bolt . 3 mm to 4mm or what ever they are

[@BMPowered]

Thanks for the advice!

[@shelbyhunt2526]

Hey hows it going I have the same truck same problems the shocks fall apart thinking of putting limit strap on the arms and the screws in the aluminum parts need to be longer

[@Daniel208]

that looks pretty frustrating. after seeing these videos, why i got the 5b sbk from hpi. loctite EVERY single nut and bolt on there. have had very few issues. zenoah 32cc, rattled out the m6 bolt by the clutch housing, but thats it. good luck with it man. try the hpi if you want a better experience from everything i've seen about rovan/king.

[@mzondi1970]

I had one of these when they were called King motors King 2000 I see the qualities never changed I was thinking about trying one out again but I don't think so with all the problems I've seen you have

[@christiansrcs7789]

Good thang you got it fixed 🥳

[@BMPowered]

Me too. Too nice to be breaking all the time, lol.

[@charis.s]

Hey man, love your content! I just wanted to ask how often i should change the diff oil and what oil to use (1k,10k,100k) for bashing the Rovan Baja 5B

[@BMPowered]

That means a lot to us!! Thank you for watching our content. Depending on how much you bash and crash, I'd probably change it every few months. 10k is usually a happy spot, but from what I had heard, use a lower weight for surfaces with less traction and a heavier weight for surfaces with more traction. If anyone else wants to chime in, feel free to make suggestions as well. Thanks for the question!

[@Dan-em9sk]

On the front knuckles, those bolts and nuts are way too small. The weight of the front wheels and tires puts too much stress on them and they snap. Common problem. What I do with mine is drill the holes out larger and use Larger bolts. Also, for get about the stainless. Check out Tony's Screws and get a full.kit from them. They are black oxide 12.9 grade.

[@gary6190]

Great video! As much as we want it to be it’s just not a ripper.

[@FifthScaleOrBustRc]

@@goodboyringo9716 second that brother! 👍

[@morphix69]

[@fpvandgasrc4321]

Where you guys been. Hope all is well

[@bobhartwell3262]

Yes locktight all bolts!!! Lol on the shock oil fill up.never filled one like that. Very nice rig.let her fip for real now!!!!!!!!!

[@SoleFlipKicks]

when's the next video?

[@gf414dr2]

You don't want to crash the truck against A-pole or tree I have that same track and i have to replace that chassi twice because it broke on me That chassie is very weak

[@BMPowered]

Yeah, no poles 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@FoundryRC]

All right guys time to come come out of hiding let's see a new video!

[@DashzRight]

Thanks for these videos really useful when making a purchase decision. And this is exactly why I dont like all metal rcs, every issue you had was because of metal to metal

[@BMPowered]

Yeah, plastic bends and forgives back into place.. Metal, needs a hammer.. LOL.

[@lbtank7508]

Is this rig larger than the vekta?

[@BMPowered]

Oh yeah. Much.

[@darkstalker113]

You sure your brakes aren’t dragging or something? Just seems incredibly slow even for the size

[@FifthScaleOrBustRc]

He is still breaking it in. Hasnt hit full throttle only half 2/3

[@BMPowered]

Yeah, no full throttle yet. Almost broke in.

[@MrShaaman6969]

What fuel ratio are you running ? ? ?

[@BMPowered]

25:1

[@wades5thscaleforlife872]

What part of ohio do you live in I live in Ohio my self

[@BMPowered]

Southern most tip of Ohio is where we be. Where are you located?

[@wades5thscaleforlife872]

@@BMPowered Cambridge Ohio

[@BMPowered]

@@wades5thscaleforlife872 Nice. That's about 2.5 hrs from us, I think.

[@shelbyhunt2526]

I like your videos

[@JamesHayes2377]

My 5t Max ate the stock clutch, an ignition coil, and the steering servo. Then it lost a bushing in the steering link.

[@BMPowered]

I heard. Let's hope this one straightens up, lol.

[@jordanrutherford1766]

Crazy loud! Id be ripping that around Karens house down the street🤣

[@BMPowered]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@michaelmclemore488]

I have the same issues with my

[@bryan70546]

That awesome rovan quality lol 😆

[@BMPowered]

🤣🤣

[@brucebaker0316]

That's why when you first buy it you have to go through everything in Loctite it and tighten it up it's recommended read in the instructions let us men don't read first😂😮

[@arcsofterproductions]

Idk how your driving it in your neighborhood.. these are seriously the loudest things i have ever heard..

[@BMPowered]

Yeah, it is very loud. My neighbors are pretty cool. We are not in the city, which helps too.

[@arcsofterproductions]

@@BMPowered thats good.. i bought the silencer for mine still didnt help much.. i have about 4 mins of run time on mine.. got to take it out of the city

[@takuache4692]

Seems slow tune it a little

[@bryan70546]

They are breaking it in

[@raymondhamilton9386]

There okay

[@meanf1502]

The price of that bad machine them shocks shouldn't break I would make them replace all four

[@wags9777]

seems weak on power compared to other videos

[@BMPowered]

I haven't really went full rip just yet on video.

[@mrbigdi395]

Just came to my attention it should probably be reverse-engineered then reassembled with Loctite and break it in before driving it like you're supposed to I mean who breaks in a two-stroke dirt bike by driving it Noobs

[@kaobigdog1]

I break in two stroke dirt bikes by riding them like I stole em. On bigger engines if the rings don't seat within the first ten minutes of run time, then they aren't going to. Rings seat better under a load. Not sitting idling.

[@goodboyringo9716]

With all the trucks and cars you have haven't you learned to lock tite the whole car ?

[@AnthonyELombardi]

Well I know what I'm not buying
