Best 4wd buggy I've ever driven, easy to set up and very easy to work on

I really like my K2. A massive improvement over the K1 Aero. I find the car is easy to set up and generally very easy to drive. The only issue I have had is with the captive ball joints. It seems that with a very light crash the turnbuckle and be pushed into the moulding damaging the threads. Also the rear ones have a slight interference with the wheels. I replaced all of mine with standard Schumacher ball grippers.

Has anyone had any problems with the layshaft, I'm sure mines got a tiny wobble on it.
Either replace the ball grippers or keep the original ones and replace the turnbuckles, I got 3.5mm Lundsford ones.

If you go to schumachers website and buy the captive ball joints you will now be sent new reworked products that now grips the turnbuckles and stops the problem 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 But only direct from racing-cars.com as model shops may have older stock

Brought a car from RC Octane, very well pleased with the car straight out of the box, brought the pro front roll bar set and the standard rear set.
For a 4wd car this has no signs of grip roll jumps well and is a very good car, narrow belts as standard and some very innovative designs.
