RE: King Motors Baja Review with pictures
Hi Todd400, I just bought the same buggy and it's a blast, I did put DDM pipe on( king motor version) check with Dan if you want the up grade,I also bought the aluminum version parts from Dan, I am going to wait on putting all that on, the only thing that I broke was the pull start, lucky me I had the crome one waiting to be put on, I picked it up off of ebay, I also bought the cover for the pull start, These guy on here are great, They give good advice.

Yes, 98% of the 5b parts fit perfect. The few exceptions have been listed. What I can remember off the top of my head, and these may have changed as the km has been updated, is rear diff bevel gears, steering servo mount must be modded to use aftermarket servos, servo horn is splined different, and the km has a two piece engine case instead of three; none of which are anything to be concerned about.
And +1 on the pipe. That and an 8k clutch transforms them from "cool, it's fun" to "holy crap, it's alive!" Mine is nothin special but look at my youtube vids to see how it perks up.

yeah v the pullstart outerwear is a must,you will still have to blow it out every so often if you run in the dirt.thats all i run in,it does help.i also would like to use my outerwears on my air filter.my problem isi got the elastic end and then got the tie end.i have the angled filter too.either one i go to put on it always pulls the outer filter back defeating the purpose.whats the trick?

Dan is Awesome! Ordered on a Wednesday and arrived the next Wednesday. Charged it, filled it, primed it, pulled twice and it fired. Street tires are great and has quite a bit of power. Easiest rc out of the box I have ever had. Hit a curb once or twice sliding to a stop from full speed and nothing broke. It's effin huge and I love it!

Thanks dirt hawg! nice mods! Hey, they had a couple baja 5bs on horsepower tv on spike tv yesterday. Did anyone see that? They were drag racing and one guy was using a stock baja 5bss and the other had an ss with the 29cc race ported top end with rear ddm pipe. There was a huge difference in the power! it was pretty sweet. The modified one was pulling wheelies

Here is my HPI Baja..These mods will apply to the T1000 as well...This helps out alot..Get a outerwears pre-filter for the pull-start cover, use metal window screen and clear silicone and you will be good on the engine...Deffinitely check the diff for fluid.I bought my HPI last week and It only had enough to wet the gears..This will apply to the T1000 as well..Heres some pics..

It is great to see a HPI owner to help out in a KM thread [sm=thumbs_up.gif]

Im just here to help...Not to argue about who's c0(k is bigger than yours....
I do recommend the HPI, but I WILL NOT LOOK DOWN ON SOMEONE THAT IS TRYING TO SAVE A BUCK!
I will help anyone out in any way I can...Its part of the fun.....If you love this hobby, do what you can afford..There is people all around the world that would love to do what we do..
Dont take anything for granted...Look at it that way..
Cheers,
Mike

better the dog house than the dog.my rottie is actually a lillte takin by my trucks.its kinda fun to harass him with them.he doesnt run away from much.one day he'll realize it and probably go after one and piss me off.but for now its fun to watch him jump around.

My dog will run if its headed his way but he wants to check my buggy out, I get a laugh every time. I will order a body soon, I just order the crome medal roll cage before this and that was 57 bucks, I will get it right again , nothing else broke, I did get my outerware on, and that helps,

i replaced my buggy body with the hpi clear one,and obviously painted it,black.but i think the proline body would have been a better choice,you get more lower protection.your not gonna scoop dirt as much.thats my thought anyway.
