I have my hpi 5b but wanted a 5T so I got this one. I'm in canton tx if anyone lives around here I have plenty of room for bashing and I'm in the process of building a track.

You should strip the truck down and apply Threadlock to all the metal to metal screws,

Install a killswitch,

Shock limiting cables will prevent shock ends from breaking off and help prevent leaky shocks,

Outerwears a air filter and pullstart covers,

Other than these items your km 5t should run great, enjoy.

Status: offline 		I am really hooked on one of these, this one to be precise:  http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-5-Scale-RTR-30-5cc-Gas-King-Motor-T1000-VW-Bug-Bettle-HPI-Baja-5T-5SC-Compatib-/290798931231
 
But all i read on different Swedish RC-forums is to stay away from everythin thats not a Hpi, Mcd, Losi or FG because the engines will break direct and som will every single plasticcomponent. (I might have overexagurated a bit but u get the idea.)
 
So my question(s) are:
1. Are the Rovan and King Motor really that bad? If so, which one is the better one?
2. Does Hpi 5b/5t parts fit bolt on?
 
Thanks in advance, Jonathan

The km 5t body is also quite durable,

I had an issue with the wrist pin bearing on my km 5t, other than that It has never let me down,

Thanks,

I used silicone shock oil from team associated and rarely had damp shocks.
