Hi everyone! Been here for awhile now and just about to get my first 1/5th scale delivered today.
I went for the KM baja 2.0 EX from Dan. My other choice was the HPI Baja 5B SS because I love putting together a kit, I already own a spectrum DX2 radio and of course because of all the hop-ups that comes with it. I was and still am worried about the KM quality, but in the end I picked it for the following reasons:
1- The engine on either buggy will be replaced. So no need for the fuelie 26cc
2- RPM arms are going to replace the stock ones (so the quality on the stock KM ones doesn't really matter).
3- I will be tearing down the all buggy to make sure it is well put together. So I will not be missing the fun of putting together a SS kit.
4- the current version are said to be better and an improvement over the previous generation.
Why the 2.0 EX version? Surely not because of the alloy arms. But for the rest of the alloy parts.
This is my first 1/5th scale AND I will rally appreciate your help.
1- What to look for? What do I need to know?
2- what to upgrade/fix while I'm working on it?
3- is the KM engine worth keeping?
4- is my logic wrong?
4-any suggestion?
Any input will be much appreciated!
