Even $500 is a steal for 1/5 scale......a lot of the 1/10 nitro trucks are that much and we all hate tuning those things!

If I'm buying a KM again, I would get one with the 29cc motor
but buying a different motor for my KM I went with a GP290 from DDM
3.5hp+ with stuffed crank that revs to the moon for less than $200

I meant what kind of brushless powerplant would you put in your KM? But thanks for the motor suggestion, my 23cc isn't the fastest out there and it's great to hear recommendations

what did you use that for ? as for gearing i think being a "custom fit" so to speak , would be rather easy to do .

gears of this size are hard to come by in a 15/70
I think 15/70 would be a nice set to try
