THATS MY THINKING EXACTLY. THE SAME PARTS ON A CLONE ARE GOING TO BREAK ON A NAME BRAND. ALBEIT, THEY MAY BREAK SOONER, SO IF I BUY A $1000.00 TRUCK, BREAK IT REPEATEDLY OVER- SAY A YEAR- AND HAVE TO REPLACE PARTS ON IT TO A TOTAL OF ..I DONT KNOW $350.00, IM OUT $1350.00. OR, SPEND $500.00 THEN $350.00 IN (ENTER NAME BRAND) PARTS NOW I HAVE A TRUCK THATS MOSTLY NAME BRAND AND IS STILL LESS THAN THE ORIGINAL. UNLESS THIS THING IS A TOTAL COMPLETE PIECE OF CRAP WITH ZERO COMPATABILITY TO NAME BRAND PARTS, IDE SAY ITS A BETTER DEAL. BUT THATS MY OWN HUMBLE OPINION.

Status: offline 		So the new stock is in. I have limited quantity so get them while they last.

These are the options. Note: They all have the heavy duty upper plates... a must for stength. Not available from other sellers.

$539 for the 23cc baja buggy
$739 for the 30.5cc baja buggy with two speed installed
$1059 for the Ultimate Aluminum 3.0 Edition
$1059 for the T1000ss, this is basically the Aluminum 3.0 that is a truck with a bug body on it.

It's amazing, every order, you get so much more for your money.

Email me if you have questions. All of these are listed here on RCU under the Cars and Trucks ads.

Dan

in my opinion i like the truck more , i think it looks better , but if your bashing get the buggy for only one reason ... the boddies are pricey to replace on the trucks

Status: offline 		If I was starting over, I would start with the truck, because if you get sick of it and want a change, it is cheaper to convert a truck to buggy rather than the other way around.

If you are in Australia have a look at the Rovan from Predatator RC or the HobbyKing 1/5 baja which is a Rovan anyway, both can be got cheap, and with out huge shipping costs.

I got an all alloy KM and the alloy arms and shock towers bend and stay bent, rather than plastic which flex then normally spring back.

I wouldn't pay extra for all the alloy upgrades, start off with a cheaper version of which ever brand you decide, and replace parts as they break with upgrade parts (RPM, Turtle Racing and the like) normally you will end up with more money left in your pocket.

Status: offline 		i would just like to say i bought my rovan baja 5b off of dan and he was amazing.. answered all my questions within an hour or 2. was very honest about the product and directed me towards what was best for me... i know i bought a rovan and not a km, but i would have to say i am beyond pleased wit it.... i did all the much needed prerun things and add all the (no matter what brand you buy) neccessities... total dissassembled the baja when i got it. loctited everything as i put it back together, rebuilt shocks, added shock covers, and killer rc cable limiters, killer rc kill switch, hpi rims and hd yellow bead locks, redneck prefilter, outwears on filter, bottom end, and pull start cover, hpi pull starter (cause stock pull starter sprung on first pull) ffrc front and back window set, ffrc servo braces, aluminum intake, aluminum front shock tower, rebuilt diff and added 5000 diff oil and missing 3rd bearing,venom 5000mah battery,  swimman throttle linkage, proline desert rat body and undertray, pen spring diy mod on brakes, water proofed servos, walboro carb, hi flow tygon fuel lines, ddm fuel clunk, aluminum servo arms, rpm front bumper, hpi 5t carrier handle/spark plug protector, quick disconnect diy cage mod, msd spark plug wire, reset magneto gap, ngk spark plug, darksould wheel extensions wit the e-clip to screw mod and rear one modded also...  hig low speed needle clamps, most importantly i put on the turtle racing clutch system and i think that is it so far... all before she was even started... i have run 5 tanks through it wit yamalube oil to brake it in and just did my first tank wit som MC-1 oil now. (always used it in my dirtbikes so i am comfortable using it and the local shop only really sells it).. i think that is it for what i have done. but i have not broken a single part and i rip it around on my beach pretty hard. she tries to pull the wheels off the ground and besides fouling one plug i have not had a single problem... buyin the rovan was the best thing i could have done... this buggy rips. and everyone who passes stops to check it out...  i will post pictures soon, but just wanted to say thank you dan. you rock... and i would and will buy a clone again... stock servos still going strong. i just set the endpoints at 99 and no problems. this thing makes me smile every time i start her up and makes me cheese like a little kid when i am running her... it came wit the dom pipe so she sounds so freaking good and ripps even better... i sold 2 nitro trucks to get this baja and have not a single regret.... sorry for such a lengthy post, but man i love this thing..  i hope you all enjoyed your labor day and like i stated earlier, i will be posting some pictures soon... peace.

Status: offline 		Hey guys... sorry I haven' had time to post on this forum. It has been crazy busy for me.

Judging from the posts it looks like some people are having better luck than others when they get their KMs. Like I always say, not all models from King Motor are created equal. All the buyers get their models custom made. Some buyers cheap out to give you he best bottom dollar buggy. So do your homework before you buy, reall compare the features. It is getting hard to do this now, KM has a lot of models now.

I did a comparison chart to help people make a decision and really compare apples to apples. These are King Motor RC Special Edition Models that only I carry. All the items with the * are the features that I have custom installed on my models. I tried to install things that really make a difference. Alloy differential, best servos that KM has, extra heavy duty upper plates, better radio, etc.

If you have questions or just need some advice email me. I am about to post some of these here on RCU.

Oh yeah... check out the KM T2000 4WD truck.... crazy! I have parts for it too.

Status: offline 		I just joined here to research the King Motor T2000, I've been looking at a 1/5 scale for some time now, got 10 nitro and electric monster trucks and SCR's I love to wrench on these things and have HPI, Traxxas, and AE, the clone topic is interesting, made me look at things in a new light,  I think if I choose to spend over a grand on a truck it's my choice as to who I buy from, I don't think there is any issue with a company hopping up a truck and putting their name on it,  This review was very helpful to me and I'm glad I found it.  Thanks.
