Official thread to discuss the King Motor T1000 GT short course truck.
I just got mine today and I have to say with just a visual inspection and engine break-in I'm impressed. My truck will be used only for racing. I got the truck almost ready to run from kingmotorrc.com. This was a custom deal I worked out via email.

minus radio, servos, rx and battery
Basically I'll be adding my own radio system / servos.
The reason I choose this over the Hobby King Rovan version was for a few reasons.
1. The excavator tires and split six rims on the KM. The HK Rovan does come with Rodeoo's and spoke wheel's. Both are a good choice.
2. The upgraded HD front and rear upper aluminum plates. Not included on HK Rovan
3. The upgraded enclosed HD aluminum clutch cover. Not included on HK Rovan
4. The 30.5cc motor vs the HK Rovan 26cc.
5. The KM (cpi) tuned pipe vs the HK Rovan stinger tuned pipe.
6. The KM also includes aluminum bumpers however they'll be replaced with plastic for racing.
Overall the KM is a better deal. Only $50 more than the HK Rovan shipped.
