King Motor X1 4WD shaft drive buggy

[QuadFather00]

Hello everyone

This x1 is apparently a hurrax clone of the yuckon. which is a very expensive rolling chassis that costs 1600 from hurrax. It is shaft drive. Has anyone got they're hands on a km x1? it looks really good. The x1 is nearing the top of my list for first 1/5th scale along with the T2000 and thunderbolt III. but mostly i want a truck the t2000 and x1 are what my dreams are made of lately...but i know crap about 1/5 scales nor have i even seen a 1/5th scale in person. So please weigh in on my top picks and feel free to add a few more...any advice or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

The king motor x1 is not a clone of the yuckon truck,

It's a clone of the hurrax zynit,

The king motor x1 is advertised for more than the genuine hurrax zynit on some sites,

Apex models used to advertise the hurrax zynit for £450 artr

I nearly bought one but I already had a hopped up 5t and was looking something smaller at that time so got a savage flux Hp.

The cheapest i have seen the zynit is 1400 usd. That doesn't even include an engine or any radio gear. I like what i see of hurrax they're differentials look really heavy in particular and have very thick chassis plates. I can get the x1 off ebay rtr for a grand or less usd. I like that they are shaft drive.
However, I'll probably end up with a t2000 since they are mostly compatible with the 2wd rovan t5 the km t1000 and hpi baja t5 It's hard to beat that kind of parts and upgrades availability.
