What are all the parts required to make the change?

Got mine from him about 3 years ago: the 2spd with 30.5cc engine. I've bought a few accessories as well. The ones today are much more durable and hopefully have stronger wheel hexes. Stay away from the drill-start unless there are parts available these days. The shaft wore on mine with much...

I want to buy a gently used pair of Proline rear Bowties with Desperado wheels made for the Hpi Baja 5B. Rovan has some look-a-likes that would be good enough for my needs. Let me know what you have and the cost to deliver to Houston, TX 77079.

No issues with Dan. I've made several purchases with him. I only had 2 problems with things I purchased from him. 1) I bought a new replacement body from him that was a bit scuffed up. He discounted it which was good enough for me. 2) The bearing shaft on my roto-start-like plate wore out and...

I just keeps your tank from leaking. If you want somthing that REALLY works, tap a nipple into the stock caps breather hole (the one that leaks all the time), attach fuel tube to it and put a check valve on the other end, ...one that lets air in but nothing out. I got mine from a lawnmower...

Unfortunately, these things aren't built for jumping like nitro monster trucks. The require a lot of built up to be up to the task and even still will not be able to do what nmts do. The newer KMs (like yours) have the beefy front and rear upper plates, so that's a plus. Next, I would go...

Which one is better? If there is another brand at the same price point, please comment on it as well. Rear brake only is getting a bit old. The KM kit seems to not use replaceable pads. That makes me nervous. I don't wanna have to buy a full new kit because the calibers wore out.

Yeah, I had the highspeed gear kicking in too soon. I adjusted it, not it kicks in a bit late, but wheelies a little on the change. Thanks

Nope! Too many painful years with them. I hate'em. I like play with out the pain when it come to R/C. I'm just going buy a couple spare shafts.

Yep, I've had several pullstart nitros over the years, which is exactly why I got rid of the one on this car before pulling it once. I've torn down the quick-start and discovered that the staft is completely worn down. The oneway actually "looks" okay, but I will replace it too. I've never...

I should elaborate that it is not the pullstart assembly. I use a rotostart type plate. It's a lot less complicated: just a socket on the outside directly connected to an engagement cup on the inside. The problem is somewhere in or beyond the flywheel. I'm not familiar with the assembly of...

Starter is slipping. What's the fix?

I've been using my regular 18V drill to start the car. The first start of the day is really rough on the drill. After that, the car will start as soon and I press the drill trigger. I though about getting a smaller impact drill, but I don't know how it will behave in this application and I...

You run yours on a truck??!! It runs great with car tires, but when I put my Trenchers on (truck tires), it hates life. The engine just drags and the car is slow. I thought the engine just couldn't handle the 2nd gear with the turck tires on it. Do you think the clutch just may be slipping?

I emailed Dan. He has no gear options.

Seems he doesn't have anything for the 2-speed listed.

Are there any available? I bought the buggy with 2spd gears. The best tires at the local track are Trenchers, which are truck tires that are appreciably larger in diameter than the car tires. The gear/engine/Trencher combo is no bueno. I need to gear down. I don't wanna go single speed just...

Thanks for the advice. When the stock items fail or prove to be insufficient, I will upgrade. P.S. stick are for planes, helis, and robots. That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it. :p:D

Thanks man!

This is the radio system my buggy came with. Where can I download the manual from? I lost the disc and I wan to run the car today for the first time.
