there is a guy at my lhs who has one and this is what he had to replace within the first gallon of fuel:

diff (stripped)
engine (faulty manufacturing)
shocks (leaked and bent)
body (tore in half in first crash)
all drive gears
chassis (bent very easily)
and a few other things.
he replaced the broken stuff with duratrax firehammer mt parts.

i have the km baja and with the km tuned pipe, it is AS FAST as a baja 5bss. without the optional tuned pipe, it is slow though.

i ended up ruining my km diff, but that was from pulling wheelies by going WOT over speed bumps.
