T2000 Anyone?!?

[csmillsny]

I was looking at possibly adding another truck to my fleet, but then I came across the "New" T2000. ( http://www.kingmotor.cn/carshow5.asp ) There's not much info out there about it, so I'm wondering does anyone know anything about it? It looks nice, but I think it's belt-driven (I heard belt-driven doesn't run as strong).... Maybe somebody can clear that one up for me too.... I have the King Kong 4wd, and think I should just buy another one and just use my old one for parts? But I like the look of the T2000......

belt drive to front tranny, yes.

Looks tuff two shocks per wheel but no room for two speed.

[Lan-Ed-Tul]

yah looks tuff as nails, but i bet the belt gets thrown alot off front. but ya never know i guess, i dont know anyone yet who has one, sometime maybe someone will and post here for us to know if its any good.

It sure would be COOL with a truck set up.

[Lan-Ed-Tul]

i think you can use the body, at least not sure bout the rest. looks like it has the rock panel on non belt side, but cant see good pic on belt side, looks like its narrower and no rock panel, and other than double shocks im pretty sure a km body would fit it to make it look like a truck

[funbob]

It's a pretty cool looking truck but the belt concerns me. It's pretty exposed.

[Lan-Ed-Tul]

looks like its got a guard but narrower than other side, myself, i would make a guard to mount on top to cover that belt one that could attach on the cage down rails

my son was over earlier, and looked at it, was real concerned over it being belt drove, suspected major issues in long run with it

[OuttaLuck]

yeah t2000 look good but dont like the body style , Not realistic, ill probably wait until they iron the kinks out cause i dont like the design of the belt, i reckon there b trouble with the design ill give 7 out of 10

[voo2doo]

There is a thread on this somewhere.The belt wont last five minutes,you can mount a side pipe either. I dont think its a winner.

neat concept at least, just not really thot out well i think

[q-man]

I see good and bad things about t2000. belt could work in grass butt with gravel its going to be PAIN.... also cant understand double shocks. Second pair is just for looks. Baja size single shocks can handle weight for sure.
And good thing is that KM is making their own desings so hpi worshipers cant say anymore that KM is just copying almost godlike product. If belt is weak link Im sure they fix it before FG fixes plastic motormounts or hpi adds shock limiters.

Looks pretty cool............time will tell though.

[Lan-Ed-Tul]

if it sells, that is, lol

The X1 looks like a better setup

[Lan-Ed-Tul]

x1 ??? whats that?

[Lins]

Shaft drive 4wd truck by KM

[Lan-Ed-Tul]

never seen that, you got a pic of one?

[Lins]

try looking on ebay for king motor x1

[Lan-Ed-Tul]

seen it, altho when you see the sctual inside pics, it doesnt look nowheres as beefy looking as the T2000. looks like a box with wheels and a slant angle mounted engine.

the T2000 looks more solid in terms of durability, just that darn belt thing.

[pipeous]

the x1 is the fg clone hehe. it's got the fg covered belt design

[Lan-Ed-Tul]

but its shaft drive not belt drive l;ike T2000

[whittron]

Thats kinda of same set up as the hurrax with the gas tank and cage.

[nano cup]

I wonder if you can buy a T 2000 without body & wheels? I bet they would be selling if it had the t1000 truck body & wheels. When I first saw it on E-bay I thought it was a kiddy toy!!!! Rich.

[Lan-Ed-Tul]

i bet ya cant. prolly a entire thing sale, no real options, i assume its a RTR so prolly no options like that are available.
