RCbutcher Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 yamas only get hate reviews here lol. The best rc you can get is the km baja and rcmodelz have them new right now for 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistonhead Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Can't go wrong with a KM 002 baja, don't think you need to do the major tear downs to check everything was filled properly any more, just checking the screws are tight is about it now. The KM Baja itself is a very sound option, all HPI and aftermarket parts and hop ups fit, and I didn't manage to break anything when i had 002a. Add the cost of a kill switch in too - around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitroholic Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 The Yama gets hate reviews because it's not very well made at all. Lots of sloppy fitting parts, poor quality engine ancilliaries, total lack up upgrades, and generally not a lot to recommend it other than cheapness. They do work after a fashion, but there are so many other options that work so much better. The FS cars started off as clones of the early MCD buggies. They based them off the really not very reliable Evo II model with weak diffs. They haven't addressed any of the weaknesses in the design they copied, and it's only a matter of time before the rear diff needs attention. Also....judging from the stuff posted in the original post....you plan to shop at Nitrotek ..... I would suggest going elsewhere Just google the words nitrotek and customer service and you will get the idea. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hebby Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 As above really you can't go wrong with a KM and parts are always available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean-vrs Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 i have both, the fs-racing is not as bad as people say but the km range is 10 times better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iang27 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 (edited) I got my son an FS Racing car and it looks to have solid enough plastic suspension arms etc and a thick chassis. It starts easily and the engine sounds eager enough to me. Not that I know much at all about them apart from what I read on here. Unfortunately he only used it once and lost interest so it is still as new as you can get with no marks or scrapes. I was meant to advertise it on here for him before Christmas but never actually got around to it. Might do it later today or tomorrow. This place appears to have lots of upgrade parts for them, http://www.fshopups.com Edited December 14, 2014 by iang27 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistonhead Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I had one til recently and had a thread up about what i'd found with it. http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/topic/177142-pistonheads-baja-has-now-got-a-new-owner/?fromsearch=1 Never had any real issues with it, very good value for money imo.

Mike bowman Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I bought the 1/5 FS hummer from nitrotek little hick up in beginning with loose parts but my biggest issue is spare parts most of them you have to get from China which will take 6 to 8 weeks😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
