RE: King Motors Baja Review with pictures
I love the T1000 (truck),but I have a KM 2.0 (buggy)I didn't buy the truck originally because the bodies were very expensive to replace, don't get me wrong I still love my buggy.
What I would love to do is, one day, be able to convert to the truck body!!! I could now, but here is Australia, I think the kit is around $200.
What I would do now, if I had my time over, is buy the truck first, as it's easier and way cheaper to convert to the buggy from the truck, rather than via versa.
Hope that helps, cheers Lee.

Hey guys, I just recieved my Turtle Racing Quick Diff Transmission from DDM.
Is it possible, or has anyone tried fitting a KM 2.0 diff and trans into the Quick Diff or do I need to build a complete new diff and trans?
Thanks, Lee.

Another good seller of these buggies is Heat Hobby on ebay, I got mine for 475 USD, free shipping, I would buy from him again anytime, he also has great customer service, a part broke and he sent a free one priority mail.

Just for the record, I've had my KM 3.0 for 5 months and have not bent or broken a single part and the engine is still going strong on the original plug Just the pullstarter had to be replaced, meh $20...
Blinged it up, will get a new pipe soon, the SS clone pipe is far to loud for suburban use.
Just need to clear up something, is the KM a clone? I was talking to the local HPI importer the other day and he said HPI bought the design off KM as both buggies appeared on the market within a 2 months or so, far to soon to clone a complex model car down to the last nut and bolt. (yes a HPI person sticking up for a rival brand)
