I'm going to look at a 5t, never had one and sound like a good deal. What should I look for and how can I tell if its an hpi 5t or a king motors truck? I've looked at pix online but i'm a noob and they look the same to me. Thanks

King Motors is a knock-off of the HPI. They usually use less expensive parts that don't hold up as well as the original.
I own a Baja 5b and have beat the snot out of it without any major repairs.

actually the KING MOTORS cars do hold up, there is one here @ our track and it s a couple yrs old now and it still has it ORIGINAL plastic arms/shock towers etc on it.. the only thing it has broke is the pulls start, and some fins on the flywheel from pebbles getting inside9which also happens on the baja
other then that it is still going strong...
