Introducing the new Rovan A5 on‑road platform a purpose‑built 1/5 scale performance machine engineered for high‑speed tarmac driving. Designed from the ground up around a reinforced 5mm CNC 6061‑T6 aluminium chassis and a powerful 32cc 2‑stroke engine, the A5 delivers the perfect balance of strength, stability and raw petrol performance.
This latest generation platform brings together heavy‑duty components, upgraded digital servos, a refined suspension package and a durable PC body shell to create a reliable, responsive and highly capable on‑road large‑scale car. Whether you're chasing top‑speed runs, carving long sweeping corners or simply enjoying the unmistakable sound and feel of a petrol RC, the A5 offers a driving experience that stands out from the crowd.
Built for enthusiasts who want big power, big presence and big performance.
At the heart of the A5 is a powerful 32cc single‑cylinder, air‑cooled 2‑stroke engine mounted using a four‑point fixed system for improved stability and reduced vibration. The result is strong torque, fast acceleration and a responsive on‑road driving experience.
Built around a 5mm CNC‑machined 6061‑T6 aluminium chassis, the A5 offers exceptional rigidity and impact resistance. This heavy‑duty platform is designed to withstand high‑speed tarmac running and aggressive cornering forces.
With a body size of 900 × 410 × 310mm and a wheelbase of 525mm, the A5 delivers a commanding on‑road footprint. The staggered wheelbase geometry (335mm front / 345mm rear) enhances stability and provides predictable, confidence‑inspiring handling.
A classic RWD layout gives the A5 lively, engaging handling characteristics. Rear axle braking provides consistent stopping power while keeping the drivetrain simple and reliable.
Heavy‑duty 6mm metal shocks provide stable damping and excellent road handling. These shocks are fully serviceable and tunable using different oils to match your preferred driving style.
Fitted with new‑generation A5 road tyres, the A5 offers predictable grip, reduced wear and consistent performance on tarmac and hard‑packed surfaces.
Steering is handled by a powerful 60KG digital metal‑gear servo with CNC steering arm, while throttle and braking are controlled by a 15KG digital metal‑gear servo with CNC dual‑sided arm. These servos deliver strong, precise control suitable for large‑scale petrol models.
The included GT3B radio system provides reliable signal performance, adjustable endpoints and intuitive controls. A proven favourite for large‑scale petrol RC vehicles.
The A5 features a durable PC body shell with integrated front and rear anti‑collision structures. This improves impact resistance and helps protect the chassis during high‑speed driving or unexpected rollovers.
Once your car is received
Please ensure you check your car over for any loose nuts and bolts, and apply threadlock where required. Check oil levels in your shocks and differentials and fill if necessary before use. Failure of any parts due to lack of oil or loose components will not be covered under warranty.
