Obvious scam is obvious. 1 day old seller with no feedback. I'm just surprised that 13 people were dumb enough to bid. Wonder how many of them knew it was an obvious scam and have nothing better to do with their time than deal with the ensuing paypal claim or somehow think they'll actually get...

New clutch and enclosed carrier are on the way. Need to stop by Ace on the way home and get an appropriately sized bolt for a piston stopper because there's no way I'm paying $10 for the same thing. I really hope this does the trick because I'm out of ideas. I've checked everything from the...

I'm still running the stock servos and will continue to do so until one dies. When that happens, I will be switching them out to Hitec servos, I use them in all of my other RC's and they've never let me down. http://www.davesmotors.com/s.nl/c.885035/n.1/it.A/id.7071/.f...

Welcome! The 2.4Ghz Tx that comes with it isn't half bad. You could run with that for a while otherwise get a Futaba 3PM-X. Regardless of what radio you go with, add a killswitch to it first thing.

That does bring up an interesting point. With KM starting to produce their own designs now such as the T2000 and X1, support and parts do become a concern as there is no large corporate entity behind these things, a dealer and parts network, etc.. Just a factory in China and resellers buying...

Mine already came with a metal 3 point carrier. I'm looking to go totally enclosed for the carrier and the clutch bell. I see Dan has an enclosed carrier, not sure on the clutch bell though. I'm pretty close to saying screw it and just getting a TR setup and going single speed. I'm not sure...

Okay, so a couple of weekends ago I was tearing it up at a popular off road spot when it just stopped in its tracks. Motor revved just fine but no power going to the wheels. I assumed it was the diff but when I got home and took things apart, turns out it was the OWB. So I got a new OWB and a...

Having more 5th scale choices on the market can only lead to good things in my opinion. It's better for all the wonderful after market vendors we have and the end user benefits from having such a wide range of upgrade choices available. What make or model you buy is inconsequential as long as...

Sanwa/Airtronics are the same thing, the manual that BTB linked above is the correct one. Airtronics MX-3S Sanwa MX-3S

Looked through his store but didn't see one listed. I'll ping him to see if maybe that is something he can get though.

If you mean this Futaba 3S, then I think it's time for an upgrade :) Did you get the make or model confused? As BTB said, there is an Airtronics radio that fits that model number. Or perhaps you meant the 3PM-X? You can view all of Futaba's manuals online at...

Welcome! You won't go wrong with either of those. It just boils down to if you prefer a truck or buggy. I guarantee that whatever you get won't stay stock for long if you get bitten by the 5th scale bug :). So don't focus so much on that they do or don't come with out of the box. DanLC4 is...

Now why didn't I think of that? :) Great idea, and the stock covers are dirt cheap.

Ouch, $114. I think I'll just fab up something myself at my friends shop. Thanks for turning me on to that seller though, I found some other stuff I'm going to get from them for my upcoming sand build and they're really close to me with free shipping.

Anyone know if the stock HPI gear cover or even one of the after market metal offerings will fit our 2 speed equipped KM's? I busted mine up and can't seem to find a replacement.

Yes, the TX that comes with the new KM's is a re branded FlySky FS-GT3. You can pick up RX's dirt cheap, on the order of $7-8 USD, but they tend to be out of stuck most of the time. hobbyking.com used to stock them pretty reliably most of the time, but I can't seem to find them on their site...

It's 36mm And here's a handy little chart... 32mm bore + 28mm stroke = 22.5cc 32mm bore + 29mm stroke = 23.3cc 32mm bore + 30mm stroke = 24.1cc 34mm bore + 28mm stroke = 25.4cc 34mm bore + 29mm stroke = 26.3cc 34mm bore + 30mm stroke = 27.2cc 35mm bore + 28mm stroke = 26.9cc 35mm bore + 29mm...

I like this. Oil on the living room floor does make for a happy spouse :)

Even though the continuous runtime advantage is minimal, the particular advantage to a lithium battery over a nicad/nimh is the lack of self discharge. This is especially nice for the infrequent runners or the folks who only get to bash on weekends. You can just grab your transmitter and go...

Ouch, that is one mangled spur. Slap a metal one in there. I'd be curious to know how the belt holds up. I have a couple of nitro belt driven cars and the belts have never given me troubles but I do tend to go through gears in them faster too.
