Predator46 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Hi guys I need help identifying this baja as I'm trading my rc stuff for the baja o the guy says he fitted a 34cc engine and tuned pipe and fitted the disc brakes as well. I know their is allot of fakes of the hpi baja and I need to know if this is a hpi baja or a fake. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomr Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) It looks like an early king motor baja it certainly has many KM parts but also could be the HPI baja v1 could do with more pics Nothing wrong with KM'S as such but obviously a lot cheaper than the HPI version Do you know what servos are fitted ? Also does it have plastic diff case or alloy ? Do the wheels have HPI stamped on them ? Is the manual present ? What radio is included? Etc Edited January 14, 2015 by tomr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jony nitro Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 What 34cc? And that looks like a cloned pipe on e piece, and most of them will or could crack your head, plus some more info on the Rx box see if Hpi is on it, and what arms they have on its a V1 they are not worth much now.

Feedtheinferno Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Short and sweet, It is definitely a early KM. It depends on what you are trading for it as they do have about a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 The pics are pretty blurry, and don;t show anything really. Don;t show if it's clone, and don't show what's under the shell even if it was genuine. but: shell is KM rear wing is KM air filter is KM rollcage roof is KM pipe is a clone Dom The rest is, as stated, either V1 HPI or clone. Doesn't look like it's had a lot of use, but it has managed to lose one of hte 4 bolts holding front and rear chassis sections together...and the owner hasn't noticed. Shocks will be 4mm shaft not the later 6mm, and the diff case is probably plastic unless the owner has changed it. Later KM001s had alloy....but V1 HPI were all plastic. I would want to see a receipt for the motor....because they all look the same outside and it's not a Zenoah plastic shroud. And I would want to know the servos fitted. My guess.... it's a KM001 with HPI wheels and sand paddles bought second hand and fitted and probably a KM or Rovan 30.5cc engine or headkit fitted. Looks like cable disc brakes fitted, which are not expensive..and only work with a good servo and careful setup. Could be wrong, but I wouldn't pay more than Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Predator46 Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 Thanks for the reply guys I'm trading him my savage 4.6, Maverick Vader, shumacher swift(roller), tamiya ta01, and savage 25 (roller), he said that he will let me know if we can do the swop but now I'm thinking that I can maybe get more for all my rc cars selling it and buying a decent baja! I'll ask him for more pics and post it! Thanks again for all the replies. Here is my collection that I want to swop him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Keep the rc fleet and see if he will accept those 'golden' garden cherubs instead. Much fairer swap IMO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sean-vrs Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Sell the items individual through the forum mate, that Baja has had quite a bit of spanner time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Basically...you need to work out what your cars are worth before you go any further. Savage 25 roller ... not valuable, but maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamiyacowboy Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 to be honest the guy would be getting a steal of a bargain. its harder to sell items alone than as a bulk swap, but you can loose a good bit of pennys or most if not all your collection. over time you will build up bits and bobs we all do. now to be honest, you could get said baja find it works then find its blowing a head unit, or even worse the bottom end fails thats a new engine needed and they are NOT cheap. you could sell on your collection and make some money, back enough to buy a more upto date version with some sort of warenty . do not rush in because its a gasser motor rc. think long and hard then make a choice cacullated on what your getting used and abused or new and warrented Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz! Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Sell off your collection and buy new fella, that way you have some warranty and probably some cash left over for upgrades or spares. It's more hassle to split and sell separately but it will see double the value of it is in bulk job lot guise..... Good luck whichever way you decide though.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveyb84 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Sell the ta01 to me But yeah it's always easier to bargain when you are waving money Infront of some one as well. I'd Deffo never swap all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_RCModelz Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) It is an early km as we have not used them arms for a couple of years, and I base it on being a km as the smiley face sticker on the wing is what you got in with the car.
