Obviously too much time on my hands. I’m considering something large,pull start, regular petrol,antisocial noisy donuts in the grass type of fun. I’m seeing a lot of offshore tat, but conversely, don’t want to spend a small fortune. Looking at something I can have a bit of fun with, out of the box, but won’t fall apart in minutes. Good spares availablilty and a plethora of shiny aftermarket bolt on upgrades is essential! Pics of any of your examples would be appreciated. Any reason not to? Thanks in advance.

I've got a km baja, never had a problem, took some serious abuse over the years,, the 32cc has more than enough power go get you in trouble! (Keep hovering over the 46cc engines just because, well this is pistonheads.)
Its Fully hpi compatible for spares etc.. guy in the local model shop didnt believe it was a copy, quality is spot on.. why people pay double for the hpi name I'll never know. Maybe consider the 4x4 version, can be a little tail happy if pushing on.

Yes I've spent on mods and upgrades etc but we all do that,,,

Go for it.. you love it.. except for trying to find somewhere big enough to really open it up😁
