1/5 Scale 32cc 4WD Petrol RTR Buggy

This new 1/5‑scale 4WD petrol buggy is built on the proven Rovan LT platform repackaged into a purpose‑built off‑road buggy chassis. The LT has earned a reputation for strength, stability and drivetrain reliability, and this latest iteration takes those foundations and reshapes them into a lighter, more agile and more aggressive off‑road machine.

With a widened stance, redesigned buggy shell, upgraded suspension hardware and a full three‑stage metal differential system, this platform delivers the rugged capability of the LT with the sharper handling and responsive feel of a true off‑road buggy. The transformation isn't cosmetic the drivetrain, geometry and shock layout have all been refined to maximise traction, stability and control across demanding terrain.

The result is a heavy‑duty petrol buggy that retains the LT's durability while offering a more dynamic, more engaging driving experience - built for enthusiasts who want the best of both worlds.
