Hi, I have a King Motor Baja and am having issues with the ignition coil as fôr some reson it dropped down and appears to have ripped the bolts out and knackered the thread. So rather than fixing or replacing this engine i'm thinking of just swapping it with a Zenoah G290RC 29cc.... are these engines alot better? and is it a worthwhile upgrade? Thanks

Thank for the advice. Looks like the only straight swap is https://www.rcmodelz.co.uk/rovan-jumbo-servo-45kg-digital-metal-hv-17t.html has anyone used that make before?

Thanks evssv. Does anyone know how many teeth the stock servo horn has on the KM Baja?

Hi, My steering servo packed up today so can anyone advise on a direct replacement for the stock steering and throttle servos on my King Motor 002 Baja? Dont really want to have to buy adaptors ect so looking for a direct replacement for them both if that exists... Thanks

Yeah its not just a weep its a gush id say.

Received and fitted the new cap today and still leaks so must be the thread on the tank itself. Bit miffed as it all looks ok and isn't cross threaded or anything. Is there anything i can try to stop the leak short of buying a whole new tank? Thanks

Thanks for the replies. I'm amazed this seems such a common problem with the KM. The thread is fine on the tank so i assume the cap is the fault. I ordered http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/222021345957 hopefully solve the issue.

The fuel cap on my KM Baja is completely useless and leaks if the car is tilted or rolled. I have ordered an alloy fuel cap to hopefully solve this issue but i was wondering if anyone had has a similar issue and solved it with an oring or something along those lines. If so could you share what you used? Ideally with links/details to where i can buy the same item. Thanks

Thanks for all the replies. Will chuck it all back together and give it ago

Hi, never fitted a new coil before and used a business card to set the gap. Does this look right? Just wanted to check before putting everything back together. Thanks

Thanks Basher i ordered the risers as well. What did you have to do to the shell?

Thanks Craig, i was surprised there wasnt any other options, seems like such a simple idea. Couldnt even find it in stock in the UK anywhere

Perfect - thanks for confirming

I have a King Motor 002 Baja buggy and am struggling for room in the current battery box so wanted to order the Killer RC HPI Baja Taller Battery Box Lid..... should this fit the KM Baja clone ok? Are there any differences between the HPI battery box and the KM or is it an exact clone?0 This is the lid https://www.freeprawnracing.co.uk/petrol-car-parts-hopups/hpi-baja-parts-hopups/steering-radio-gear/killer-rc-hpi-baja-roll-cage-risers-for-the-taller-battery-box-lid-clone.html Thanks
