King Motors KM-002 Unboxing - The Lexus of Bajas? Best one to get for a beginner or Pro

[@philiphopson7224]

Ordered the KM-002 for my first gas RC today. The 5% discount code still works! Thanks hybrid for sharing all your knowledge on nitro and gas rc's. Sickening channel everyone should check out!!

[@hybrid32494]

hey my dude! how you doing! I'm glad to know you got a good deal on this with the coupon code, you know I love good deals, ahah! Anyways, I do it al for the gas gang and the NitroGang cause these RCs are SICKENING! ahah. For real though, I have a couple very good pre-start checks videos on other gas rcs you should watch the the basics of break-ins for these too. Make sure to install a kill switch too..

[@Chio_OB]

Very nice, I had the Rovan 30.5cc it came with all the Aluminium upgrades, body tray, shock towers etc, all anodised green. With the nice FS gt3B radio. I ran it in, had a blast and sold it. Nice car but too loud even with an additional muffler for where I drive! Keep the vids coming

[@hybrid32494]

hey my dude! So you know from first hand experience how nice these rovan clones are, very impressive value for what you get. But you're right, it's loud, no denying that. Even a silencer only helps minimally.

[@Meyers2strokeRcgarage]

Great video Dmitri!!! Yes you’re exactly right breaking in for beginners, running in is for pros on 50 to 1 with race gas!!! The only thing I don’t like about Benol is the temperature you can run it in. 35° and above Fahrenheit. In my opinion I prefer the fly sky. I love those all terrain tires it has!!! They are the same as that’s on the rampage!! We also has the same pipe my FT 360 appears to have. I’m worried that the pipe will not be going to be of my suit. I hope it’s not made out of aluminum and cheap. Although I am making my own pipe we will see. I’m going to make more in the future to experiment. There is really actually a pretty good science to making a tuned pipe. It’s great all the goodies. Great watch for sure👍

Hybrid help, I just got my 1st nitro (Revo 3.3) and when I tried to start it for the 1st time to do the break in ,the engine would cut out after I take out the ez start wand out.

[@hybrid32494]

hey buddy! congrats of the REVO pickup, it's one of my fav nitros out there. Would you say you see a bunch of oil and smoke come out of the pipe while you're starting it? The good thing is it starts, the rest we can work on. Try to give it some throttle when you remove the ez-start wand, it should run when you give 20-30% throttle. DO this, then let me know. Usually the Idle is set too low and the engine could cut out, or the High speed needle is set too rich.

[@4PFHarrison]

hybrid32494 when I hit the throttle it emitted a LOT of blue smoke, and the truck would try to move forward on its own and when I picked the truck up off the ground the wheels would spin very fast, the engine would cut off shortly after I stopped pulling the throttle

[@hybrid32494]

@@4PFHarrison ok, so it sound like engine is fine. You need to visually verify your carb's idle gap setting. There is an idle screw on the side of the carb, literally under the Air filter, turn it clockwise 1/4 of a turn to raise your idle gap. See if this helps to keep the engine running. Then if you have too much smoke, turn the high speed needle 1/4 of a turn clockwise (this will lower the total fuel going into the motor at higher RPM). Your low speed needle is important too, it should be set flush with the carb body (usually it's correctly set at the factory and nobody messes with it). let me know.

[@4PFHarrison]

hybrid32494 ok, so it’s ok to mess with the tuning before breaking it in ?

[@cwatson42785]

@@4PFHarrison Full disclosure I'm no nitro guy but know motors but yes you can adjust the needles before the break in. The very first thing is to get it to run properly at idle. Look up the exact model and year and there should be "factory needle settings" or you could call traxxas and they will tell you factory needle settings and reset them to make sure they are set factory then go from there. They could of got out of whack from factory but that should be one of the first things to double check then go from there. Oh and listen to whatever hybrid says lol. Just bumping thread for you also. Goodluck! Hybrid will get you straight. The motor is probably just a little too rich or too lean to stay running. Then once idling fine do break in then after that adjust the fine tuning for high end and low end.

[@hybrid32494]

sup bro. I highly recommend you get yourself a cheap 20 dollar RPM gauge to use with these models, I've show the RPM in some vids. This is how it works, these cars have an 8,000 RPM red clutch spring. So basically you need to give it some good throttle before the clutch grabs. I was surprised by this at first also. It's weird to hear it go to 8K RPM before it even grabs. This is normal. But you can confirm with an RPM gauge. These engines top out at around 17,500 RPM btw. Also make sure your remote throttle trim is set normally, it could be too low and this required you to pull the trigger more than needed.

Hey man I need some help with tuning my nitro, what are signs of a lean engine. When I brought my engine back I let it idle for a while and then I slowly accelerated but it wanted to die at anything above mid it kind of had a gurgling sound and if I continued to hold it there it kind of cleared up and started to rev higher.

[@hybrid32494]

hey man! I highly recommend you monitor your engine temps and amount of exhaust. A lean engine will have a small amount of visible smoke coming out and you will be tuning hot. It's best to find the carb's stock needle setting in a manual online and rebut it to factory. Then adjust from there. A lean engine should tend to over rev itself and produce very little exhaust smoke. let me know.

@@hybrid32494 I have around 5 acres of open yard. So not really worried about space. Just want to make sure a buggy style will work ok in grass and normal yard stuff. Thanks for the quick reply.

[@hybrid32494]

oh ye, then you'l be perfect bro. Well you only other 1/5 scale alternative would be a 4WD gas RC, and the cheapest 4WD you will find will cost about 2-3 times the price of a baja like this. And I don't recommend redcat. Based on price alone I'd say the minor draw backs of a baja chassis are worth it. you're gonna have fun!!

[@rabbitfootedkitty1339]

52:0 like to dislike ratio so far, congratulations! What’s the music in the beginning of the video called? You used it in a few of your other videos and I can’t find it. It’s catchy. Keep up the great work! Edit: What is the status of your 49cc scooter? I know I said you should get a Goped, but I also recommend getting a Bladez if you can find one. I have a 35cc Bladez that is driven with 2 belts. You should try making a few motovlogs once you get your scooter set up.

[@hybrid32494]

hey my dude! sorry it took me so long to respond back, I had the flu for a while and took a youtube break and forgot many comments. That music is called "the natty anthem" it's Rich Piana's workout music. The bodybuilder who is dead unfortunately, because he did what it takes, to him that was huge amounts of hormones and steroids. No moves on the scooter yet, waiting for warmer weather and I will assemble it my dude.

[@rabbitfootedkitty1339]

@@hybrid32494 Oh, no problem, I think of myself as a patient guy. Just as long as you're feeling better, it's all good. Yeah, The Natty Anthem is catchy, lol. Thanks for the reply. I just can't wait to see you dive into the stand up scooter world. Your content is nice and independent, keep up the good work!

I'm sold going to get one

[@thrasost521]

I've been watching your KZbin videos and I'm looking to buy a Baja. It will be my first 1:5 scale so I'm trying to make the right choice. I was wondering why the rovan AS1 Baja in green with a 36cc engine has the same price withe the KM 002 Baja buggy 'ported' 29cc engine. Which Baja would you recommend. Thanks. Keep up the good work with the KZbin videos

[@Johnny-zz1zv]

I can’t wait to get one.....

' what country made this R/C baja car... can try use a electric brush motor with NIMH batterys

[@hybrid32494]

hey buddy, thanks for watching. Most RCs on the market are made in China, that is nothing unusall. This one is no exception. What's good about ROVAN and King Motors is that the seller in the USA physically inspects and warranties this product directly. You dont have to deal with any outsiders. And they have incredible customer service, nothing to worry about. BTW, they also sell electric version of this model if you wanted.

[@bestamerica]

@@hybrid32494 hi H... ' thank explain... better let only american company can makeing their own any R/C model cars / trucks / motors / batterys / ECSs / RC systems... good idea

[@k00LGuY671]

awesome. i got one like that but its rovan. 30cc. got it on ebay for 489

[@hybrid32494]

hey bro! Awesome, I have the rovan baja 30CC model too. That was my first gas RC, I still is kicking AS* to this day. I even tower a whole damn X-mass with it and hit 44 MPH stock.

[@dazspurs9899]

I would upgrade the battery and fit an engine brace otherwise great rig

[@Rudimentary007]

Must have. Good review 👍.

[@hybrid32494]

hey man! thanks for watching. Glad you liked that, I try to do my unboxings from a realistic POV and mention things that actually matter.

[@BarraGutheWorld]

Is it alright to use motorcycle oil (castrol power 1 racing 2t motorcycle oil)

[@hybrid32494]

hey bro!! Yes, many old school Gas rc guys use motorcycle racing oil, as long as it's a 2-stroke oil you're fine. In fact many of the brands of oils used in these Rcs are also sold in motorcycle stores.

[@Rhoedision]

Very nice congrats bro👌👊👊

[@cwatson42785]

Hey Hybrid this thing is awesome!!! You know you're legit when you got badass Rcs sitting in the box for months! Hey brotha what brand is better? Rovan or king motors?? Thanks!

[@cwatson42785]

Hope you can get it out and running asap!

[@Imperial_Wing]

Will we see it running

[@brianargo9306]

Call the Thor exhaust because if you turn it upside down and looks like the head of a Thor's hammer.

[@nategreen1199]

What is the code? Does it still work?

[@rockman49er]

Hey brother what upgrades shocks do you recommend

[@hybrid32494]

hey bro! I never actually ran this particular baja, I wound up doing an unboxing and then focusing on some other nitros I had at the time. But I can tell you the build quality is impeccable and considering it's a much nicer ROVAN than I own I will still say you really dont need any upgrades.

[@Ryan-gf3jf]

Awesome Vid! But i think that thor pipe is a copy of the fast pipe from ddm its been out for a while!

[@meudrone4k369]

Belíssimo automodelo baja 🏎💨🔥

Is this better made than the rovan

Is this website 100% safe to purchase from? [ And it's out of stock :( ]

Did you sell another Honda Civic for this RC?

[@hybrid32494]

Sup dude. I actually picked this up at the same timewhen i got the primap, back in the summer lol. Took me too long to open it, you know. But i have been selling some nitros, ill do a ebay sales recap for you soon, so you can see the selling part of the hobby for me.

[@malo_2139]

hybrid32494 lol ...ok cool

[@mdfishman1959]

That’s a really nice machine, the shocks look very plush and I would love to see some jumps with this. Btw do you know of any rc tracks in NYC? I can’t go to the gunhill rd one in the Bronx because I heard from a friend that there was a shooting.

[@rcplayer7581]

Theres a track in bronx?

[@mdfishman1959]

@@rcplayer7581 yes it's not maintained but there is one at gunhill road in the bronx. Its real sketchy though

Awesome

[@hybrid32494]

hey buddy! thanks!!

[@Sloppyjoe96]

maybe they call it a thor pipe because it kinda looks like like a little hammer head

[@hybrid32494]

Joe hey man, Good point! I literally thought of that as i was editing this video. Perfectly logical haha. You’re right!

[@Sloppyjoe96]

hybrid32494 would you be willing to make a video of how strong the rovan or km is, like drive it till it breaks or something, and then a repair video lol

[@dante69d]

So this or the rovan?

[@hybrid32494]

hey dude! I have both a Rovan 30CC, a 29CC and 2 King Motors Bajas. I can tell you they are all terrific RCs. It really comes down to what's available right now. There are some good offers on Rovanrc.com now, you cannot go wrong with either, but I gotta say this KM baja is the SHIT!!! I've run this motor in other RCs, and it's serious awesome for the 30CC specs.
