does any body no what the hp rating is on the km baja 29cc. and also i thrashed mine today and now the rear end feels like it has a posi unit in it now? it doesnt feel like a open diff any more? any body have this problem with ther diff?

Sounds like you trashed your diff, for a replacement i would go with the hpi baja ss alloy diff.

The failsafe places the servos in a preset position (programmed by you) if the signal from the radio is lost. To test, WITH THE ENGINE OFF, hold the throttle wide open and shut off your transmitter, the servos should go to your preset position, usually full braking.

thanks!

I have set back to factory settings..

i wonder if it's because there is dirt in the carb.

the inner and outer air filter were thick with dust from the dry parkland i run it on...

So, the run time everyone talks about of 40 mins on a tank of gas.. Will the car keep on running continuously if i keep filling it up? Or do they overheat and need a rest?

outwears my friend, and clean them filter more often..be sure to use a hi tach foam filter oil on the inner filter like "PJ1" for motor cross bikes

and get an outwears it helps also

Well its simple Keith,

There's still no KM1000 as they call their 5T Truck so the only option for a cheap one is easy.
Rovan looks pretty nice...how do i know? i have two kitt versions here...

Hey guys, I'm really new to this hobby. My dad just bought me a King Motors Baja It's the KSRC-001. I read through the first part of the thread but I couldn't find anything about my question. This might be because it's a later version but my Baja has orange alloy and purple alloy. I'm just wondering if this is the same thing as what you guys have or if it is updated.

I really do not know what is new or not from the color scheme, mine is mostly chrome and black.   I can tell you the KM Baja is not perfect, but is a lot better than what the HPI baja owners let on.

My advise is simply to apply your hobby skills, which you should have before getting a model like this, set it up as best as you can then have fun.   Expect some things to go wrong, fix them. Pretty soon you will find out the KM is actually well made (for the most part) and is fun.    All of the Baja's are very expensive over time. You will end up spending a lot more money than any 1/8 scale nitro truck or truggy.

The money you save using gasoline over nitro seems like it would be a lot, but it is nothing compared to replacment parts and upgrades.   It is easy to get carried away and spend thousands of dollars on a baja if you want all the greatest aftermarket parts. Then when you crash around and break parts, it gets really expensive.   So, just have fun with the KM and use it as you can afford. It is not as good as a real HPI baja, but not nearly as bad as the HPI fans say.   I got a lot of good use from the stock engine, and upgraded it just for the fun of it when it was not necessary.

You really should not have any major problems, but don't be suprised with a few minor problems.

I went out to burn it in today and it ran really well for what I know about RCs. What do you recommend to do to clean the Baja afterwards. It's just got a lot of dirt and grass in the cracks and whatnot. I'll have some pictures up of the weird colours my Baja came in.

For cleaning I would recommend nitro cleaner and compressed air. And a tad bit of wd40 to polish her up after. The wd40 will attract a dirt though. Also "gunk engine degresser" works great to get rid of stuff stuck to your engine.

This is my baja in the photo...

I don't know if you know this or not but you can remove the exhaust end for more power and it will be louder. Don't know if you knew that or not.

Hi there!

Is your radio good? I had to bin mine and get a Futaba 2PL, as my stock radio kept sending out a full throttle signal.
Also, if it hasn't already got one, buy a failsafe. It will save you a fortune if it goes out of control or range!

Thanks for the help guys! Looks like i'll have to pick up some supplies. It's running great right now. It could use a little tuning, but nothing seems to be broken and everything is fine.

I forgot to mention that I have another muffler for it. I think it is a clone of the dominator pipe. I don't know how loud it will be but hopefully it won't piss off the neighbours.

Ya I tested the range and I can get around 180 meters. But the radio is fine for now. I was thinking about getting a fail safe, i'll check it out at my local hobby store.
