KSG would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year. We would also like to start the new year off with a couple of new products. The first is our 1/8" Front Axles (KSG-2260 $18.95). These axles are precision machined and heat treated. They come preinstalled in the steering blocks which have been machined with a taper for clearance on the upper eyelet. The second item is our new Light Weight Body Wing Mount Kit (KSG-2270 $19.99). This system is the lightest system on the market weighing only 8.5 grams including the wing wire. The system is easy to install and creates a rigid mount for the wing. The bent wire works great on most all bodies.

Good looking parts can't wait to try them! Happy New Year!

Ran the wing mounts last week, awesome the only mounts to buy from now on.

Thanks KSG.

I saw the KSG car on rctvlive.com Lefthander says out of stock. Do you know who else sells them?

Most of your local hobby shops/race tracks should have them in stock, or should be able to get them.

You can try and call lefthander. Sometimes they have something in stock, and havent had a chance to update the site.
You can also get them at
greeneville r/c speedway... Link on the right side of the page.
Windtunnel also link on the right side.

You will not be disapointed if you get a Gen 2. It is by far the best car I have worked with.

Joel White

i will give them a try thanks

Happy New Year Andy and the KSG Team. Great looking axles and wing mount! Cant wait to get my hands on some! :thumbsup:

allan anderson at greeneville rc is there local hobby shop and normally has them in stock. 423-620-1314. it's a shame the girl doesn't come with it,lol. :thumbsup:

Calm down Jessie. We all know that the KSG car is the ultimate Babe Magnet. By racing a KSG, you should be able to attract the babes. It working for me...I have to fight them off. Just be careful with the 1/12 version because it attracts the younger babes that are not legal in all states!


Antonio

If you can't find a Gen 2 , I got them in the Hobby Shop

Neil, I think that they are lookin' for the babes!

Antonio

I haven't seen the babes since they escaped from the basement.LOL

I know antonio has them n his basement. he brought one last year to snowbirds. Andy needs to stop being so stingy with babes. he's a talented man on a lathe! :cool:

Jesse, do you go for the short wheelbase or long wheelbase ladies??? Just remember to trail your right hand .20" on her hip from where you place your left hand. ;-) My car's ready to go for the 'Birds. Just gotta finish putting the decals on and back in the bag she goes until January 29!

I must need to try a few new tracks, mine doesnt seem to be as "magnetic " as others are claiming LOL Good luck to all the KSG's at the birds this year. Unfortunately I wont be making the trip

I love varieties. know ne bring'em to the birds :thumbsup:

Just curious if anybody still running solid KSG??

Yes, I think the solid gen1 is every bit as good as the gen2. That is what I've been racing for the most part.

Pete D'agnolo has been running a solid prototype up here for awhile on our local flat ozite track, and the thing is killer..... (and light)

What does the "prototype" consist of? Is it basically a solid with alot removed from the chassis plate?

the car went on a serious subway diet....and i heard a few other things..with brushless the car needs to be on weight.......

It's not for me to say, but it's a serious ride, that's for sure. He has been testing a few different chassis plates, but the whip he ran last week was crazy fast in 13.5

The progression never stops with Andy Mac. that's one of the greatest things about ksg. the gen 1 was a great car that can hang with any on the market and he's constantly trying to make it twice as good as anything else.

Had a great 1-2-3 finish for the MacClellan team. though one of the cars wasn't a "KSG" it was still a MAC Design. myself and jim rufiange 1-2 with gen two's and the oldest car in the building driven by justin lessard finished 3rd with a MAC ATTACK! All new track records for rosewoods 13.5 class. just 3 laps behind the new track record for 10.5 :thumbsup:

That was a great day of racing at Rosewood. Going back to the KSG from the other cars I have been running was liking returning home. Absolutely the best cars I have ever raced.

What is the weight difference between a Gen 2 and a solid. I have to add weight to my gen 2. (rule is 40 oz.) I was thinking of experimenting with an old gen 1 solid i have laying around but wanted to know if it would be beneficial to lighten up the chassis. I am running brushed stock btw so I dont have the extra weight of brushless (not yet anyways)

u throw a brushless combo in the car and you get heavy fast! bigger esc's and the motor is heavier...thus a car needs a diet plan,lol.

i've got a jr3650 servo so that saves a lot and i only need a 1/4ounce piece of lead. keep your wires short. i could eliminate some steel screws and replace with titanium and run a kimbrough spur instead of prs but i think servo and short wire is prolly most key. oh, i have lipo 200mah pack on that car too. it's a slider gen 2 gtb 4 cell

I have one of these chassis for the 'Birds ;-)

The solid "experimentale" chassis. :thumbsup:

So is it a Gen 2 style chassie(IE gen 2 locaters ect offset tplate holes yada yada) .Post a pic of it.

They ever going to make a narrow style pod?

Jake

actually jake the rip narrow bottom and top plate will fit the ksg pod plates.

How about that . :cool:

Yeah,Awesome race,Jesse and I qualified within 2 tenths! all 3 of us nose to tail there for awhile,at some point or another we all led,either one of us could have won :thumbsup: awesome driving Jesse and Jim

We came up with a one piece KSG conversion chassis on the west coast as well. In it's very first qualifier, it set a new track record.

it's trick, saw it Marshall's in Pa. over the weekend

Hey Jesse. What brand Side springs and front springs do you use. I was looking at your setup for Easley on the KSG site and you have the color but no brand or spring rate. Each company has diff rates for the colors.

wolfe sides
ksg fronts
silva center

A little bird tells me that Jesse's going to have one of our solid experimental chassis to play with at the 'Birds. Damn Bud can't keep anything secret! lol.

Thanks man!

don't believe everything he says!

hey jesse,
will you be lapping me at this years snowbirds?? :p

don't be so confident!

Jesse Bean can not drive!!!

Ditto what Joel said!

don't be so confident!

cya in a few weeks buddy :wave:

can't wait till it all begins :thumbsup:

i hope this is a good place to post this.. since its kind of ksg related...

can someone help me out here.

i purchased a ORT (proto's oval race truck) body for a KSG-1 car. the rear body posts pop out right at the down side of the molded in downtubes/rollbar. i think on the ksg's we dont have the ability to move the body posts in the rear in any direction.

someone mentioned probably the ksg-2 body brace has some ability to move the body posts a couple mm's but i havent seen a ksg-2 up close to figure this out.

i could move the body forward a bit more.. but then the front wheel wells look a bit odd... i could shift the rear of the body a bit but then its a bit offset looking.... hmmm... *scratches head*

anyone have this problem? or am i not seeing somethign :|

KSG-1441

That should be the part for the KSG Gen 2 Body mount. It is a solid piece and will fit a Gen 1 car using the the center holes.

I'll also mention the problem to Andy, maybe he can make a mount that is a little different to make it easier to mount the ORT.

I looked a little closer and they do make a solid mount for the Gen 1 and I'm 90% sure it is slotted like the Gen 2 mount

KSG-1082 XCS One Piece Body Post Mt

I'll try that out and see if it shifts it a bit more away from the downtubes. i might have to get creative.

I'd really like to "try" this body out.. but if it can't fit.. you know? =) i got some scap pieces of thin graphite, maybe i can make something with my trusty dremel....

i appreciate your fast response!

I used the KSG-1040 and used the mount pieces to move the body posts outward. That put the body post outside of the roll bars and still allowed the slotted holes to position the body over the chassis. I mounted the pieces so that they went straight outward, or inline with the slots to get the post the farthest out. If you have a heatsink on the speedo, that might create an issue in regards to clearance but I got mine to work being I have the BRL cap.
