Just wanted to let everyone know that we will have new chassis in stock soon.

The new "skateboards" are still the same time-tested design as our original RKR solid chassis, but with these main differences:
-Black material, instead of the green stuff. It took some time to find the same material, but in black. We also experimented with different material, and found that what we have been using, works the best.
-Improved body post placement. We haven't found any performance advantages to the new mounting locations, but the centered posts look better from the outside after mounting body of choice. I recommend the new KSKT body once it's available to the public!
-CNC machined. For quite some time, I have made these chassis by hand. As we have found out, it is almost impossible to make them perfect everytime. Now they are!
These chassis will still accept 4 or 6 cell batts, and will be competitive with all other s/k cars on the market. The solid cars make great spec class or entry level cars because of their simplicity. They also hold track records and win major events, like the ROAR Region 1 champs, because of this same reason. These cars are fully compatible with the solid KSK carbon fiber chassis, and can easily be converted into "the fastest s/k t-plate car" the KSKT when you are ready. All of the parts are easily obtained, seeing as they use mostly AE 10L3 parts.
I will keep you all posted on the progress, price, and availability as many of the first batch have been spoken for. If you have any questions feel free to ask here, pm me, or send an email to rolls_kanardly@comcast.net

RKR is proud to be a sponsor and multiple champion of the NEOT... be sure to support the tour, as it supports the tracks that make this all possible. Thanks MIKE V for haeding this operation after the mess it was left in.

Thank you for all the support you and your team has shown to the tour. And now since the chassis is the right color it's bound to be faster, LOL. See you this weekend.

If these cars are any faster then the original RKR Solid chassis, They are going to take flight and fly. Jon, make sure my name is on that list for the new chassis.

thanks mike. how did you do this weekend?


I had stock TQ until the last round, and then got bumped to second. Lap 2 in the main I lost a lap due to a wreck and made it back up and finished 3rd. It was a good run with a full field of cars... I had that KSKT hooked for the main. Just needed another 30 seconds... (you know how that goes)

Thanks for asking.

All of our Kits will now include the KSKT Phantom S/K body. After seeing the results from the team drivers, the choice is clear. The phantom is definately the one to have. Check out www.KSKTS.com to buy them individually. They should be for sale soon. :thumbsup:

:thumbsup: Negotiations are now final, and R/K Racing Products has been purchased by KSKT Racing Products.

As you may know KSKT got its start through RKR. The 2 companies have worked together over the past years. KSKT has grown greatly, and in an effort to grow the company further has baught all rights to the skateboard.

I would like to thank all the team drivers, hobbyshops, and customers who braught RKR to where it is. Just to let everyone know, this was a positive deal all the way through. I will still be part of the KSKT team, and will continue to help in the R+D department.
:wave:
See everyone soon,
Jon Anderson
