HobbytekUK are proud to announce that we have been appointed the exclusive UK distributors for the latest 1/5th petrol radio controlled cars from XRC Racing and ShengQi. Until now rc cars that run on actual petrol have been very expensive with prices starting at over £700 that made them a specialist and exclusive product. We are pleased to say that XRC and ShengQi have now changed this and these great models are now available to everyone at realistic prices. These petrol radio controlled cars run on a mix of normal unleaded petrol and 2 stroke oil. Both of these are available from any petrol station.
The all new ShengQi petrol RC Baja is a beast with a massive feature list. This is an extreme model with loads of power thanks to its DZY 23cc engine with Japanese Waibro Carburetor and NGK spark plug that pushes it to speeds of up to 80 km/h! The attention to detail and quality of parts is superior to others and can not be beaten on value for money. Look at similar 1/5th scale models with the same or less specs on the market, as you will see they retail for over twice what we are selling these for!
Our new stock of these is equipped with 2.4G Radio Equipment and an LCD transmitter.
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 125ml 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!
