I don't think theres anything wrong with the manual if you have been in R/C for awhile; for the beginner's the exploded views give you enough detail to fix your model. As for maintenance most guys will hookup with other's running 1/5th scale for advice on what to do; then again they always have the forums; or do they?

Please do your best to promote good advice and practices for new comers to this thread...

If you have nothing positive to contribute to the thread then why do you bother posting here?
And it appears that you are the one that is taking this clone issue too seriously. Every post of yours is a complaint about clones. Give it a rest already.

Vert1go, can't you take a hint from the people who don't want to see your endless clone bashing? Why should you care if clones don't have a thorough manual if you don't have a clone? You are just a troll.

Hey guys,



Here is a problem for you.  Baja starts fine, runs good, & runs great full throttle, but when it is at full throttle and you let off gas, it dies.  Any suggestions?

when you let off the throttle , is it slowly or are you snapping it shut ? ie; full to idle in an instant ? how does it sound going from idle to full ? is it crisp or does it bog for a second and then come on strong ? it could simply be high low adjustments . keep us KM CLONE owners up to date .

Nice vids...you have that engine tuned to perfection man!!!  What engine are you running in that machine?  BTW, im sitting here shivering just thinking about a 0 wind chill     brrrr!!!!  not so great here either..its 27 outside at the moment...thank God by wednesday it will be back in the low 70's!!!
Thanks!  If you listen close in some parts of the vid by the pond it has a slight top end miss.  That's when the crank bearings started going.  The engine is a gp290 with the piston, rings, wristpin and spacers out of the original km29cc in it.  It's been easy to tune and getting stronger with every gallon.  I think I'm gonna have to get a metal spur gear before long.  It's ate up two plastic ones lately when ran in dirt where it actually got traction.

I posted some pics of mine a few pages ago with the new body.  I'd like to get more vids if the weather would cooperate when I'm off work.

Here's one.  More a few pages ago.

And yeah, we need more details or a video.

If it cranks fine but dies after running at full throttle for a bit, then the hsn could be too rich.

Do you have to give it throttle to crank and keep it idling after first starting?  If so it may be idled down too low.  If it dies when applying the brakes then your linkage and/or radio trim needs adjusting plus idled too low.

Hey Vertigo.......

Did you copy, steal, or clone that name from a prominate hobbiest?

You should try using that name at a beloved HPI site and see what happens....

It would be just as well if you just moved back to troll status.

Coming into a thread dedicated to a particular (clone) car and promoting the 'real deal', is gonna earn you troll status whether you intended it or not. I too do not see the relevance of the similarity of your chosen screen name with that of another prominent hobbyist, 'vertigo' is a common enough word.

Anyway, back to the topic please guys, this thread is about the KM clone.
