      As for reviews. I have a Baja Champ, which is functionally identical to the Baja King.

      My feelings are:
      It’s a tough, fun chassis
      It’s not the fastest thing around off-road
      It’s very easy to build and get parts for
      With the addition of oil shocks it gets much better.

      At the price of the Baja King/Champ they make a great entry level fun offroader. They’re not a dedicated buggy though which does have have drawbacks. However the last Tamiya ‘buggy’ is from about 12 years ago and parts are getitng a little harder to find in stock.

      If you’re after something for fun then I wholly recommedn the Baja King/Champ, if you’re thinking of serious racing then there’s probably better (and more expensive) cars out there.

      It’s a copy of an old Losi (XX I think), so it’s fast and tough, plus you can get parts from either Losi or Duratrax.
