King Motor KM-T2000 4WD Baja 1/5th Scale- Black w/ 30.5cc Engine

[Silent_chaos]

Ok guys,


just stumbled on this, Ready To Run Truck 4WD with 30.5CC MOTOR, and 3 channel 2.4 Ghz Computer Radio, costs around 815$


The thing about this is that lots of parts are compatible with HPI 5T and HPI SC baja Truck models.


Most HPI stock parts and aftermarket parts are interchangeable with King Motor Trucks.


It's a 40 inch long and 40 pound Truck. I bet this thing is huge.


it says that it can reach speeds of over 40mph out of the box

Is this worth it? I mean it is a 4WD unlike the 2WD 5T


would it be a good idea to take this and install a nice Class1 TSK and make it a cool one of a kind 4WD project?


thoughts?

There are better deals out there IMO. I'm not try'n to discourage you, just giving my opinion. If it appeals to you go for it...

There are some forums out there that have a section on that particular vehicle. You might get more responses to aid in your decision.

Good luck!

Its an ok truck the tires on it are way to heavy so they will have to go first thing because it really slows the truck down the a arms are not very good and because it has the dual shocks you can not upgrade the a arms or even use HPI arms so you are stuck using there a arms. Its slow out of the box you will have to do upgrades to gain more speed. the belt drive holds up real well tho. Alot of the parts you will not be able to upgrade such as the clutch drive because of the gear running the 2 belts the clutch cover, the shocks, the upper brace bar which is very thin but you are stuck using theres because of the dual shocks, and a few other things.

i have noticed the same .. the 2WD buggy set ups seem like a deal but in the end gotta go with what u like and will commit to.

all will need parts!
