SNOW MONSTER! Gas Powered 1/5 scale RC Tracked Buggy - ROVAN 305AS

I LOVE RC Trucks and Cars that are BIG and either Electric or Gas Powered. This beast is BIG and is designed to drive on snow! This is the ROVAN 305AS. It comes equipped to drive in the snow & includes 4 wheels for driving in the summer. You can mix and match tracks, skies, wheels. I purchased mine on sale at Banggood in December 2019, but I may have received the last one because they are no longer listed. You can find this model on ALIEXPRESS at this link (note the site says battery is not included, but mine came with the battery, so it is included):

[@wordreet]

Thing’s a beast! I love the way it looks with those tracks on the back!!!!!! 🦔 😎

[@ModernDayTemplar606]

👍 That thing is very interesting 🤔

[@ger13nunyah56]

NICE

[@Icantdrive55]

Cool car, nice design, winter vehicles are always welcome for our Canadian winters, it would also be cool to see this beast with wheels in the summer.

[@spongebob358]

Good work gettiing David Caruso to do your intro Cap! Oh silly me it's only you, Ah well; "YEEEEAAAAAAAAHH Wont get fooled Again" xD

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Ha ha... I used to get that alot.

[@mariopuzo4509]

No way!? I even live in MN. Am subscribed....like there's snow here 8 months of the year. why was this not ever even recommended huh utube?!

[@fans6770]

Real man's toy 😁👍🏼... Really enjoy this video Capt 👍🏼 You always have fun in any weather 👍🏼👍🏼

[@dale_ch]

Cap'n is a gas BEASTY!! - looks good fun though 😍😍 Love the shots including 8:08 where it looks like you're about to get inside it to drive away!!

[@4WingView]

This is so very cool. Ripping some snow ya baby.

[@AddyOverbeeke]

Pretty Cool RC. What a great social distancing hobby. I am impressed with the build and size. I would like to see what it looks like and how it performs with wheels. Maybe you can do a video on that Captain? Maybe in an empty parking lot or quiet street that has no snow.

[@TheBigDaddyClub]

thats awesome man.. super video

[@Gerdien2000]

This is too much fun!

[@blairguinea1337]

Waiting for the snow monster to become drone like, na just kidding, thanks Stephen, looks great fun

Nice

That would be great in Arizona 🌵 🌞 Thanks for uploading.

[@TheItalianWays]

Sweet

[@dominancefpvdrones4413]

OMG, this thing is BAD TO THE BONE! If we got snow down here I would certainly have one of those. Just watching you drive it is fun. I can imagine how killer it would be to drive. Sweet!!!!

Ooooh no!! This remind me I have to mow my lawn this weekend!!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I trust your lawn mower is a wee bit more quiet

[@shailendrathakur8007]

i am the 6th one wooo hooooo

[@user-rl5uh6td2s]

I never seen snow, i don't even know how this works, but I imagine it is really dangerous and powerful

[@T_gaming28]

I feel bad for you snow is like my life how you can see some snow if you haven't already

[@rogerthat9174]

I already have a gas powered lawnmower, tractor, snowblower, weed eater and motorcycle. I don't need another pain in the a** that won't start when I need it to.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

This is so much more fun then mowing the lawn or clearing the driveway.

[@stussyhuff]

That's bigger than my lawnmower..

[@rogerthat9174]

Stuss H And it cost about 3 times more money 💰

[@MikeKinney8675]

Hello Captain, thanks for doing the video. Was wondering are you still doing drone talk? Tough looking rc car

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Drone Talk is still alive. I hope to get one out this month. My Favorite Things Episode 2 will be out this week.

[@JRthepyroguy]

I seen this on banggood before. Was wondering about it. I can't wait until you put the wheels on it. That's where that buggy is going to shine. As always great video cap't drone.

[@joshchatwin8569]

That’s fucking awesome

[@stephenksiazek812]

Now we are talking!

[@RCHomemadeHobbies]

Interesting...

Gotta try that with the wheels/tires this spring!

[@lifeisfuneh]

That looks like fun Steve! :) Only thing missing is the Skydio 2 following !

[@DomVito87]

I didnt know they had tracks........ OMGGGGG

[@andrewap77]

Does it come with Snow? I need some down here in Dallas Texas to enjoy it. LOL

[@MrBofB]

This is really cool ! It looks well made and I love the tracks. But it has wheels also? Can't wait to see that. I hope the price drops.

[@Alexandra-Rex]

It looks really nice. The buildlooks great. Wonder how fast it can be.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Supposed to travel 80 km/h with wheels.

[@Alexandra-Rex]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Not bad for the size.

Hey could you do a video with the skydio 2 following that buggy?

[@GurjeetSingh-bm6us]

unfortunately all snow gone here in Toronto. Big Boys with Cool Toys

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Still plenty of snow in my neck of the woods.

[@pauldoroff6973]

So cool!, need lipo version

[@abandonedscotland6558]

Looks heavy 😅 looks so fun tho !!!!

[@whome7004]

It looks like a Beast. I believe this is the first time I've ever made this statement, it could be a little bit better not made like a solid piece of iron. So many times I have complained about to much plastic, this is that rare occasion my be made alittie less tankish !Lightin it up a hair

[@jacksrccars347]

Very cool but I wonder how it affects clutch wear over long term use . But still just wow !!! Lol 👍

[@johnvonacid7381]

man! thats super duper amazing 😍 it would be nice if you can ride it haha!

[@indirectfever6357]

Surprised the snow didn’t mess up the electronics when it melted.

[@markgreene9330]

Hey Cap , the tracks seem to take a lot of power away from the car , I've seen videos of them before . Do they ? Thanks , Mark G ...

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

It is just the gearing since they are not wheels, so speed will be less even when conditions are optimal. If you slap on wheels, then you can get top "road" speed.

[@oscardavis2438]

I guess it is kind of off topic but do anybody know of a good website to watch new movies online?

[@daytonmaurice7287]

@Oscar Davis i would suggest Flixzone. You can find it by googling =)

[@johnmartin9294]

@Dayton Maurice Yea, been using Flixzone for since march myself :)

[@oscardavis2438]

@Dayton Maurice Thanks, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D Appreciate it!!

[@robertredzich7292]

Cool vehicle. Too difficult right now for me to deal with gas.

[@h.w.m.306]

You can get the tracks separately if you have the normal one

[@michaelforzani8261]

Hey bud nice vid. Didn’t see your links but you will want to post up Rovan and king motor websites. I believe they ship out of the states at better prices than AliExpress or other overseas companies.

[@chadpugh1490]

That's pretty awesome. Any gas powered consumer drones out there?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

None that I am aware of

[@jeremyvaldez5997]

Autel EVO II review please.

[@wareagle3064]

Do you have a video on how to install the tracks on the buggy

[@Krom1hell]

Now thal looks so awesome.... Can't Imagine the chinese make something that good.... And i live near a factory that make Audi parts and it's not Germany

[@shawnrobinson6535]

Hmm, I would hope after the break in period and with some tuning and adjustments it will go a lot faster.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

All depends on the type of snow. The key word is "traction".

[@shawnrobinson6535]

Indeed, Snow consistency certainly is a factor. Hopefully it’s top speed is much better in ideal conditions.

[@jdjdjdjjjxjdjdn8784]

Plz review hubsan zino 2

[@chrismalaney6620]

So, on sand, tracks and front wheels or 4 wheels?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

On sand I would not use tracks, only wheels.

[@nate4024]

Never seen this video of yours I wonder if I could somehow attach 4 of these to my arma outcast 8s 1/5 scale hhhmmmmm

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

They do indeed make such items for your vehicle. Visit INTEGY.COM

[@t.m.c.teammulticopter5636]

with all these soon to be travel bans will that mean we can fly our drones any where?if all planes will be grounded that will mean the skies are free/tell me what you think,,,,

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Hmmm.... Never thought of that one.

[@xoibor]

The rc car alone is $350 so your telling me the tracks and skies are $500????

[@Cowboy-e1c]

Sir, what do you do when a new drones is shown here or do you sell them?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Drones that I purchase myself (the expensive ones), I keep until a new model arrives & then sell the older model. Drones that are budget drones are kept for several months and then they are either given to local charities for fund raising or to friends, families, co-workers, or now and then some are sold for the price of the customs cost I had to pay to get them. For the very small few I sell, I only sell locally.

[@Cowboy-e1c]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thank you.

[@danabyrne1122]

where can ya get this too

[@mikelouis4808]

Can it drive at the ice??

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

It certainly could but it would do some serious drifting with a pair of "skates"

[@slblars]

It will be interesting to see how fast it will go with the weels attached on asfalt. 😀👍

[@norm1233]

About 40mph

[@rogerthat9174]

Keep buying expensive toys... and you will be working until 70. 😎.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I'm a sucker for when items are on clearance sale. Was a great price for this baby at Christmas time.

[@bret354]

Looks like the one ski was way off. The left one.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

The snow is very wet and thick so the skies were not working as they would on nice soft snow on a layer of hard snow.

[@Heiple2007]

Neat looking, pretty dogged performance though for almost $1,000.00! Like to see how it does with the tires. Too slow overall. Thanks for your work, Jeff.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

No traction in heavy snow. These things move with wheels.

You could plug your mini into your computer using the DJI ASSIST and select FACTORY RESET. It will be like the drone was when brand new.

[@rickybobbyinc293]

Sorry...3mins in...Can you tap on that plug looking thing on top of the 30 or 32cc motor again and tell me what that is. You only tapped on it twice so I didn’t catch what it was. The loud tapping helps me learn. I got tapped on the head a lot as a kid.
