Kingkong lurker (1/10 Sherp) buyer beware
In a nutshell don’t buy. It will break on day 1 and it will take extensive diy scratch building to get it to work. If you really want an rc sherp save your money and by one from customrc. I bought it because it looked like an ideal amphibious platform for my 4g lte cloudrc system. The power train is bonkers and fatally flawed.

Interesting, but could you share more details, pictures, videos so others can see what you mean?
I myself have designed my own Sherp(ish) model which is in 1/16 scale and uses belt drive for the wheels and has loads of torque

From what I've seen most of the KingKong products are junk.

I replied to this video. My comment is pinned at the top. I would be very surprised if anybody today owns one that runs.

Re: Kingkong lurker (1/10 Sherp) buyer beware
This lurker is belt driven which was nice, but it didn’t save the transmission. It uses a slip differential with 3 540 brushed motors 45T. One for steering, two for drive. It’s geared too high. The thing could haul ass in a straight line. Which is dumb since the full scale sherp has a top speed of like 25mph. It definitely needed more gear reduction. A good old steel gear heng long gear box would have been better I think.
