The motor I had in the Losi up and died on me (finally succumbed from the saltwater / sand intake back in July) and my original KM T1000A is still in pieces (that was the truck that actually went into the sea water). My X-Maxx jammed up the steering after a nasty collision (in for repair at local hobby shop). Even the little Arrma Fury BLX is out of commission after snapping the rear body mount bolster.
I'm returning my OBR motor to Sean for a rebuild. It ate dirt when the stock Losi air foam filter got tangled in the bolts that hold it in place.
So, I ordered a $349 KM Baja roller from Dan along with the "sidewinder" pipe. I had some of the upgraded KM steering and throttle servos already, along with a stock KM MT3D/MR3D TX/RX. I also had an orange air filter canister thing with a matching gas gap and hose that connects them (probably just a gimmick, but what the hey). I also had a Zenoah 320RC from DDM that I got cheap as a Deal of the Day. Other than that, I just added a pull start outerwear.
The build was pretty quick and easy (now that I've experimented a fair deal on my original KM T1000A). The motor just bolted right up without any issues. Haven't even put gas in it yet -- that'll be tomorrow. For now I think it looks pretty nice, and you can't beat the price. I can't run it anywhere except my "safe" zone (no chance of runaway -- surrounded by woods) because my kill switch hasn't arrived yet.
