RE: King Motors Baja Review with pictures
Hey guys... it's Dan again. Just wanted to let you know the new models are in stock.
Some interesting things to note... now there is a KM nylon 30.5cc buggy. A nice light, strong and fast option.
The special edition KM 3.0 that I stock now has the crazy CNC EX aluminum... plus it has the three piece trans case for ease replacement... killer!
And the T2000 4WD is back ... they ran out quick last time. Very fun! :-)
Got the basic 23cc and the 30.5cc models...
Also I have the special edition KM2.0... somewhere between the basic and the 3.0... afordable.
I'm going to list them here on RCU shortly, also, will list them on my ebay store. King Motor RC (user DanLC4)
If you are having trouble deciding on the model, here is a comparison chart.

correct . i`d say 90% of the parts will transfer from one to the other . all the parts you may break will fit . a-arms stuff like that

RE: King Motors Baja Review with pictures
Dudes, 90% is a bit high on what is interchangeable, with the duel shocks and 4wd that alone takes away a lot of interchange of the important stuff, here is a clip of some the stuff I've had to do to make the King a real basher, When I first got it, it couldn't take even the smallest of jumps, nothing man. That's all changed now. This rig is a bad mother. No kidding I have a Losi 5-T and I love it. It's rock solid out of the box, I've had that in the air big time and haven't broke anything yet, and it's modded too, Jetpro pipe TR clutch system, but the point is smaller motor in the 5 but it will take off the line faster due to the hard drive train I think, but this king will fly, I'll be making some vids today on my track to test out the mill, when the top fails I'll put the OBR big bore kit in it. nothing fancy with this clip just a tour of the truck.
Let me know what you think guys, thanks..

What spark plug does the 30.5cc motor use? I was assuming I can use the NGK CMR7H but just want to make sure. And if there is a better plug to be running I would like to know.

Denso IUF22, IUF24
Now if you wanted to stay with the less expensive plugs, you can always do the "side gap" trick to get a bit more performance out of them. Another thing you can do is get an indexing kit so you can index the plug. It's been proven to work in other engines so im sure something can be gained on these little engines. Im ordering the indexing kit today along with a denso IUF22 plug and then the experiments will begin.

I know this post is old, but I just caught it. Yes, here are some other spark plug options for you to experiment with: NGK-CMR8H, CR7HIX, CR8HIX
Denso IUF22, IUF24

RE: King Motors Baja Review with pictures
Ohh no way would i get the T2000 If i was gonna spend 1100 I probably get the 5t with another 400 dollars ....I'm really looking at the KM 2.0 and the T1000 I was just curious how the aluminum is on them... is it 6065 ?? the closest Hobby shop has parts for the Baja so does Hobby town USA were I work. Should I just get KM Rev 2 and buy RPM arms ??? kinda wondering what you guys think.

The only reason I got the t2000 is I'm a 4x4 guy, The 5ive wasn't out yet, I'm running both of them now, The King compared to the 5ive isn't a fair fight for sure, two different worlds. I just noticed that this thread was for the baja type trucks, sorry about that, I'll get over to a 4x4 section. Good luck brothers. bash on.

Such conflicting reports on these .... I seem to think that their basically the same for the most part as HPI "which btw I love their Firestorm Line and LOATH the Savages complete ****" ..Save the A-arms and quilty control at KM. Ive almost hit the botton the T1000 about 100 times now please someone give me some good Advice. Also how much is it for a complete set of RPMs A-arms front and back ???

Which one are you wanting to know about? I've had km, hpi, and rovan bajas. The last one I bought was a t1000 ss. It has been, by far, the best rc I have ever owned. I've never seen the new t2000, so I can't comment on it. Whiohever you get, I'd suggest putting back at least $200ish for the things that go wrong for no apparent reason. I've had servos go out within a few tanks, shocks leaking out of the box, engine fail. You'll also have plenty of down time waiting on parts to arrive until you've built up a stock pile of A arms, shock mounts, clutches, tie rods, hubs, and all the small things you break most often.
This t1000 ss has an elcon clutch, zen rc290 4 bolt engine, killer bee, hitec steering servo, custom built aluminum battery box, and some other stuff I can't think of right now. It is the first rc I've ever had that isn't returned home in pieces after a bashing. Mine are well maintainned. I don't abuse any of mine, but I don't not do something because I'm afraid to break it. If I want to launch it off a 15ft cliff I do so. If something breaks, oh well. As hard as we bash this one rarely breaks andwe usually run out of time, fuel, or sunlight with nothin needed but a hosing off and filter cleaned before the next run. I will be gettin my ole lady one of her on this summer.

Same one, just in b clothes.

Al, the km line has grown so much that I don't think anyone would care about the 4x4 stuff being in here. I like it. Easy one stop place for km info.

Really its kinda hard to choose cause I was gonna get the KM 2.0 but 99% of the time I can get a HPI Baja Kit for the same price , Radio wouldn't matter since ill put my Radiopost in it instantly. And from what Ive heard I would have to put in a new steering servo instantly... very hard decision.

BTW, I would put RPM arms on a Baja right after the servo upgrades. I've had mine for over two years running.

RE: King Motors Baja Review with pictures
These 1/5 scale are actually cheaper than my 1/8 caster F8T HK was "Truck 7075 aluminum 400$" "Tekin 1900Khv ESC/Motor 330$" ""JR Steering Servo 150$"RadioPost Radio 330$" Bulldog Body, Body Paint,3 and 4 mm countersink washers etc etc 100$ at the start. So that's 1310$ from the start either a Km 2.0 or T100 would be 400 dollars cheaper from the start + Id buy RPM A arms and back up steering servo and good down payment on a new motor.
