nofords, Be prepared to wait 1 month for your baja. 1 month after you pay.
If you've been following the thread, v*tec does not have stock of those. He orders from China and ships them out after they arrive. Also, he is not on the same timezone with us, or he really has a weird sleep pattern . All the replies from him arrived at like 2 AM in my inbox (i'm on EST).
For anybody that's watching this thread, let's make v*tec do correct bussiness. In order to make money, he has to invest money. He's not investing anything, this causes us to wait for the KM baja's a lot of time.

So does the hpi ss diffs fit on the km baja? Alsoi is the tq baja the shen qi or km?
Yes they do. EVERYTHING on the KM Baja is interchangeable. TQ baja? What does "TQ" stand for? I don't believe so though. KM is the only company to have an exact clone right now. The reason why the ShengQi baja has different differentials is because it would cost more to create. So even though KM is a "cheap version" of the HPI Baja 5B, it is also the better quality of the clones. Meaning that they are not cutting too many corners so they are trying to get the better quality out there. Not trying to rip us off completely. This is my opinion of course. Everyone will have their own views.

so just to be clear, the "dirt buster baja" from v*tec (ebay) is the same as the "KM baja" and both are different from the "SQui" (or whatever)???
Almost ready to place a bid...
The dirtbuster is a KM baja. ShengQi is different from the KM and the HPI Baja. It is not 100% interchangeable with the HPI. Supposedly the differential set up is different although I cannot confirm that. So don't take my word for it.

This is entirely correct. I am going to notify eBay about this situation and make sure it is taken care of accordingly. Order direct from King motor. I believe that their sales email is: sales@Kingmotor.cn but check their website first (www.kingmotor.cn). My representative is happy-ellen@hotmail.com. She is great and I would recommend here over most of their employees (Have dealt with many of them and she is best). You will get a cheaper price as well. Before prices went up I got mine for $535.00 shipped.

hell oversize rc drop ships on ebay......vtec does......so does engagerc_com_usa....sellers have up to 10 days after the payment is recieved before they have to ship.... just like a buyer has 10 days to pay...its not stipulated if thats workings days cause 10 work days is 2 weeks

That email address does not work. Try the @yahoo email, it will work. If you have messenger, you can add hifan2001 in your list. She seems very nice while trying to get your money, you need to negotiate she will fist give you a price higher than anything i've seen.

I understand what you are saying but it is still breaking eBay rules. I have been selling on eBay for quite a while myself.

so, it best just to order from the king motor site?
I believe it is. But when I emailed sales@kingmotor.cn happy-ellen@hotmail.com responded.

happy-ellen@hotmail.com is not a drop shipper. She works for KM. She is a directly connected with KM.

happy-ellen@hotmail.com works just fine.

Yeah, I bought from vtec, took 3 WEEKS! He might have some instock now because it doesnt say on his auctions that they are going to be shipped at a certain date from now. (I think)
THis was taken from his page:
1/5 Scale Buggy Will be Shipped in 2-5 Business Days.

I waited 4 weeks from vtec after payment. I left positive feedback but told of poor shipping process within the feedback. I then realized that I needed a set of back up wheels and tires but had trouble finding a set for a reasonable price. Tower is out of the wheels for the fhmt and besides, the white really wouldn't go well with a camo humvee. So I saw vtec was selling a set and I emailed him first to ask if I would have to wait a month for these too and he replies...
Hi,
I have all of my product in my warehouse, the only thing is that this is the side thing that i do, hence shipping and e-mails are a little bit slower. I try to ship all of my product within 4 days.
Thanks, Vitali
I bit the bullet,rolled the dice and bought a set from vtec for $115 shipped and am waiting for them now. He actually shipped within 2 days, now I just have to wait a week probably for them to get here. Canada is stupid.
The reason I needed a set of wheels is because 2 minutes after starting the beast for the first time I hit a mailbox and broke the center of the rear wheel out. I used gorilla glue to jimmy rig the wheel back together and it did not hold well. Gorilla glue is great on my foam airplane...Not on this beast. I then tried some 2 part epoxy and a tank and a half later it is still working great.
Also broke a ball cup and upper suspension arm. I ordered those parts and other cheap spares that night from Tower and also a pico diemaster failsafe from DDM. They were both at my door in 3 days...Awesome service from both places!

My shengqi hummer has TQ imprinted on the rx and battery box, see below. It stands for Tianqi. What that means??? I dont know, but then again what the heck kinda name for chicken is general tso??? China is stupid.
