I bought the KSCR-002 and love it. I'm having no issues with except for a few that were my fault. For one, Make sure you lock tight everything that joins metal. I did everything but the exhaust bolts and now I'm having to tap it out to a size bigger. I was jumping it and took a hard hit to the rear and stripped out the screw hole. I'm guessing that it was already loose and I fail to realize it. Other than that the buggy had been a good purchase. I have a video of it posted on here. I think it was the last jump did it in. Good luck with your purchase. I bought mine from Heat hobby on Ebay. I've had no issues with the seller and it was the exact car I ordered.

did you have any nitros?

KeithjV

Cool thats good to hear. I think Im going to order the 5T from them. They answer their email pretty quickly which I was happy about. And there ratings look good.
All I have right now are nitros. A few 1/10th and a few 1/8th. I cant wait to try out a 1/5th.

niko64

life is better with gas.

KeithjV

I love my nitros but Im hoping to test the gas trucks out soon.

krisnz

jsut dont treat the 1/5th like a nitro, they are a bit heavier so no 10 foot high back flips with the gaser like i see my mates doing with there nitros, LOL ,apart from that they are mint, i won't be going back to nitro

krisnz

so whats the story with the trans bearing are some km's missing one? one page back

dungchewer

Yes some of them do not have them. But at the same time alot of the HPI cars also did not have one. If what I was told was true and I highly doubt it was, then the current batch of KM baja's may also come to you missing the bearing.

Again in my opinion I think the entire diff / gear box should be one of your first up grades. If you do use the KM diff you run into the drive cups not being replaceable with the HPI parts. So it's just a matter of time before you break one and then your for the most part stuck with going with a HPI diff.

Thanks krisnz. Im actually pretty gentle on my stuff to begin with. And I definitely dont want to destroy an $800 truck right out of the box. But you are right I have seen some guys do things Iwouldnt think of trying with a 1/18th..

hi guys I'm new to the 1/5th scale RC world but i do have nitros. i think I'm gonna like the 1/5th better. anyway i just ordered a km ksrc-002 from dancl4 here on rcu and i wanted to ask if they make 2 different types of the ksrc-002 cuz the one i ordered showed a pic that the car has a purple chassis and a grey and black body and comes with the clone ddm pipe and chrome roll cage. then i look at johnny19742k5's ksrc-002 and it has paddle tires a chrome chassis and a white body and i see it has the chrome roll cage and pipe as well. but why are there 2 different one or is there? anyone know?!!!

PS. i cant wait till my new km ksrc-002 gets hear it like im a little kid at X-MAS time lol

It's pretty much the same buggy, the seller just changing out the wheels. I'm sure if you asked for paddle tires he'll put them on instead of the dirtbusters. Can't hurt to ask. BTW I haven't seen a KSRC-002 w/ a purple chassis.

TCB 81

yeah here is a video i just found of a guys ksrc-002 that bought it from the same guy i did check it out it has a puple chassis[link]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gp3e9nTRbMM[/link]

TCB 81

here is another video of the ksrc-002 with purple chassis [link]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gD9Xxgv0wvI[/link] man i hope i bought a ksrc-002 and not a 001 lol but if it was a ksrc-001 it wouldnt have the 29cc with the pipe and chrome roll cage lol im lost at this point

niko64

i have to agree with you.

niko64

i bought mine from dan,its purple with dirtbusters,29cc motor,tuned pipe,black body.the manual showws paddles with a purple chassis white body.i think he might change the wheels because most people dont want paddles even though you have to try them in the sand,WOW !!!

TCB 81

that's weird that km would use two different alloy colors for the same model you would think the ksrc-002 would be one or the other chrome or purple not some with the chrome and some with the purple this sux really cuz id rather have the chrome all well as long as she runs good lol...

TCB 81

does anyone know how good the ksrc-002 diff holds up since it has the 29cc motor did they do any upgrades to the diff when adding the 29cc?

niko64

painted my chrome wheels black,got some hpi wheels,black wing.my motor didnt last 3 tanks,but was fun.got a cy gp290 now,buggy is great.cant compare to a nitro,two different animals.

TCB 81

the km ksrc-002 motor must be poo to only last 3 tanks lol man a cheap nitro last longer then that man not to sound selfish but hopefully you had a dud and with some luck that wont be the case with the one i ordered lol

niko64

funny you ask,thats the second thing that went .dont think it was the power but the diff bolts loosening and leaking the fluid.put in a ss alloy diff.still have the missing bearing,case not made for it.would not have made a difference,sure it would help.

niko64

some have luck some dont.

TCB 81

anyone know were i can order a outerwear pull starter cover? for a good price and easy to deal with

niko64

daves discount motors has a lot of 1/5 stuff.

TCB 81

thank you for the info i just ordered my outerwear's for the pull start and the air filter from ddm i hope it will be here before or the same day as the km baja. also i talked to dan the guy i ordered my km ksrc-002 from he said that yes the ksrc-002 comes with a chrome or a purple chassis it just all depends on which one the dealer orders from king motors and he ordered the purple ones but for the record lol they are both km ksrc-002 just come with a choice of purple or chrome chassis.

I'm on my 3rd tank of gas. I haven't had any issues with my 29cc. Except for the exhaust bolts which one them stripped out. Like I said before just make sure you use lock tight on all screws the joins metal. BTW my KSRC-002 had the missing bearing installed. I would still check to make sure. The first thing I did to my buggy was a complete tear down and rebuilt it to my specs. Check it the toe and camber. Somebody at KM must have a lazy eye.
