King Motors Baja Review with pictures
Some interesting things to note... now there is a KM nylon 30.5cc buggy. A nice light, strong and fast option.
The special edition KM 3.0 that I stock now has the crazy CNC EX aluminum... plus it has the three piece trans case for ease replacement... killer!
And the T2000 4WD is back ... they ran out quick last time. Very fun! :-)
Got the basic 23cc and the 30.5cc models...
Also I have the special edition KM2.0... somewhere between the basic and the 3.0... afordable.
I'm going to list them here on RCU shortly, also, will list them on my ebay store. King Motor RC (user DanLC4)
If you are having trouble deciding on the model, here is a comparison chart.

What spark plug does the 30.5cc motor use? I was assuming I can use the NGK CMR7H but just want to make sure. And if there is a better plug to be running I would like to know.
Denso IUF22, IUF24
Now if you wanted to stay with the less expensive plugs, you can always do the "side gap" trick to get a bit more performance out of them. Another thing you can do is get an indexing kit so you can index the plug. It's been proven to work in other engines so im sure something can be gained on these little engines. Im ordering the indexing kit today along with a denso IUF22 plug and then the experiments will begin.

Such conflicting reports on these .... I seem to think that their basically the same for the most part as HPI ''which btw I love their Firestorm Line and LOATH the Savages complete ****'' ..Save the A-arms and quilty control at KM. Ive almost hit the botton the T1000 about 100 times now please someone give me some good Advice. Also how much is it for a complete set of RPMs A-arms front and back ???

Which one are you wanting to know about? I've had km, hpi, and rovan bajas. The last one I bought was a t1000 ss. It has been, by far, the best rc I have ever owned. I've never seen the new t2000, so I can't comment on it. Whiohever you get, I'd suggest putting back at least $200ish for the things that go wrong for no apparent reason. I've had servos go out within a few tanks, shocks leaking out of the box, engine fail. You'll also have plenty of down time waiting on parts to arrive until you've built up a stock pile of A arms, shock mounts, clutches, tie rods, hubs, and all the small things you break most often.
This t1000 ss has an elcon clutch, zen rc290 4 bolt engine, killer bee, hitec steering servo, custom built aluminum battery box, and some other stuff I can't think of right now. It is the first rc I've ever had that isn't returned home in pieces after a bashing. Mine are well maintainned. I don't abuse any of mine, but I don't not do something because I'm afraid to break it. If I want to launch it off a 15ft cliff I do so. If something breaks, oh well. As hard as we bash this one rarely breaks andwe usually run out of time, fuel, or sunlight with nothin needed but a hosing off and filter cleaned before the next run. I will be gettin my ole lady one of her on this summer.

Al, the km line has grown so much that I don't think anyone would care about the 4x4 stuff being in here. I like it. Easy one stop place for km info.
This guy seems to hate Everything Kingmotor ...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86bU4eLhm1I justgregg100 hes replacing everything .... is that what I'm gonna have to do with a King Motor
BTW, I would put RPM arms on a Baja right after the servo upgrades. I've had mine for over two years running.
