Is the ROFUN BAHA 5B worth it for a beginner?

It is marketed at adult beginners and arrives ready to go, so there is no build. Expect to learn gas engine starting and tuning, which is the main learning curve.

ROFUN lists a top speed of 80 km/h. Real speed depends on gearing, surface and engine tuning.

What fuel does it use?

It is an oil-powered gas engine, so it runs on a gasoline and two-stroke oil mix. Check the manual for the exact ratio before the first tank.

It is 2WD. That keeps it simpler and lighter but reduces grip on loose or wet terrain compared with a 4WD buggy.

It ships ready-to-go with a 2.4 GHz radio system and a 6V 2000 mAh battery for the radio gear. Fuel and a charger are typically not included.

It measures about 81.7 cm long, 48 cm wide and 25.5 cm high. Plan for storage and transport space accordingly.
