If your looking to buy a King Motors Buggy to race, these make a great starting platform. No matter if you buy an HPI or a King or any other brand, your going to have to upgrade all the same components to make it race worthy. I started with a new King Roller Buggy and converted it to a sprint. Upgraded clutch carrier, axles and cups and braces and it has done me well.

I use Losi shock oil. Never anything else. After all.....It's 1/5th scale. It costs more to run larger scale cars.

The HPI Baja filter is a great filter. I use the Uni 3" on a velocity stack with a red neck and an Outerwears filter.

What I realized with my air filter ,is its hard to take off & put back on after
cleaning ,so I think people want something that's easier to maintain ,looks
cool ,an still does the job of keeping debris blocked out!...

The Uni 3" is held onto the velocity stack with a simple collar. Just a quick couple turns of the nut and it is off. I pull my filters on all my 1/5th scale cars after every run to check for debris. Never had an issue with this setup. It is a little difficult getting the redneck and outerwears over it. With a little patience and practice.....it gets easier.

Also, all of these items are available at Detroit Performance RC.....Tell them Jeff sent you!

ive owned a few different 1/5 scale over the years.. first one was 10 years ago, a km ksrc-002 and it came with a 29cc and i blew the engine in 3 tanks after pulling it out of the box. I did break in just as it said to, the rispin bearing fell apart.. after putting a 29cc zenoah i liked it alot more but it always fell apart, so i sold that and bought a hpi baja 5b and it was basically a better model but still had alot of issues with diffs and stuff so i took a break from rc.. then last spring i bought a losi dbxl and i didnt like the gutless 23cc lol so i ended up selling that and bought a newer modded baja 5b ss with a rcmk 30.5cc full mod motor and loved that thing.. i had no issues with that one at all and i drove the hell out of it.. i ended up blowing the engine and selling it to a buddy for cheap to help him out.. now i just recently picked up a km t1000 and i love the thing to pieces.. these newer models are so much better quality then my first km back 10 years ago.. i really like this km t1000 but ive heard some stories about the 30.5cc being hard to keep together.. so i do plan on getting a custom engine built for it.. does anyone know how well these diffs hold up to the higher end motors?

Thinking about getting a King Motor RTR 1/5 Scale KSRC-001 Baja Gas Buggy. this will be my first 5th scale. Are they good for bashing?

anyone here have the tyant 2? savage flux hp clone? how is it and are psrts compatible? seems like a great deal.

I bought myself the Dark Knight 5B buggy the other day, sexy looking thing with a 30.5cc engine. I got a side mount tuned pipe to go with too.

I'm concerned about it only having 6.5mm rear axles, anyone know of any thicker/stronger ones that will fit in the drive cups. If not maybe a drive cup/axle combo that will fit in the diff as I've read the diff is one of the parts that's a different size to the HPI diff, but don't what part of it is different
