Hello, my name is Jeff Patch and I am the owner of Wicked Motorsports. The first product we will be offering is a Solid Chassis conversion for the KSG Gen 2 Platform. This chassis features a new type of Carbon Fiber chassis specifically designed for Wicked Motorsports. Slight modifications have been made to the front track width, and the mounting of the Cross brace has been re-designed to allow the racer to use a symetrical t-plate in the offset position. The picture is of the prototype which has been running very successfully for the past year. You will notice an extra hole for the nerf wing, this problem has been corrected for all our production models. Coming soon is a conversion kit for the Hyperdrive Pro 3 which will revise the chassis flex characteristics and rear pod geometry slightly, with flat track carpet racing in mind. Web-site should be finished soon. Pricing is $80 plus shipping per chassis. Please leave messages here or in my pm box.

By the way, I would like to give props to KSG and RIP motorsports on their car designs. I did "steal" the battery tray design from the first RIP car, simply because I felt it was the best design at the time and I wasn't going to fiz something that wasn't broke, so Props to Ozzy for that. I don't want to be labeled for someone who steals ideas and doesn't give credit where credit is due, so I would once again like to thank Ozzy and Andy for their contributions to the Oval Community. The Conversion for the Pro 3 will have many more "original" ideas implemented, so stay tuned for that.

I like the 4 holes around the pivot balls allowing adjustment without removing the t-plate from the car.

that is another feature I took from RIP, VERY, VERY useful.

have a lipo version coming for the Gen-2??

From what I have been reading, it seems everyone is going to a solid chassis for brushless. How does it compare to the slider chassis?

the carbon fiber I use has less flex front to back on the chassis, and a little more lateral flex than the standard carbon fiber most chassis companies are using. Overall, as a whole, solid chassis tend to flex a little more than slider chassis, since they don't have the "backbone" of the slider tray mount running down the center of the chassis. While the car pictured works well in Brushless, it wasn't designed with brushless in mind, where the chassis needs different flex characteristics. Our new Hyperdrive conversion will change all that, since it will have been designed from the ground up with brushless in mind.

Jeff, you might want to re-read and edit that second sentence on the above post. :freak:

I would, but what I posted is exactly what my tests show, both FEA analysis and actual testing.

He was talking about your spelling of "as"

OOPPS, MY BAD. Must have happy fingers today with the "S". Thanks Todd and Seven.

Is this Chassis available now?? I would like one for a BRL Race in march??

Any thoughts of a Gen-2 solid chassis with 6 cell slots -- for us LiPo guys ??

I haven't worked on a 6 cell solid yet, but if there is a need for one I am sure I can accomodate you. Let me get something drawn up and I will send you a pm with a price.

Me Too ...Thanks lichtenbergw@bellsouth.net

Thx !

I sure would like to see Pics of the 6 cell chassis. Do I need to put down a deposit??
lichtenbergw@bellsouth.net

I will get pictures of it this weekend and post it before it ships, thanks!

I ran Jeff's solid 4 cell car at the 'Birds and I can tell you it's SWEET! I had to add 2.5 ounces to make weight, and it felt more stable and less "nervous" than it ever had as a Gen 2.

Jeff chassis showed up today everything looks good. Thanks

If any of you guys would like a baseline starting setup for the car just let me know. I have done all the setups on this chassis since the first prototype over a year ago. I'm sure Jeffro will back me on this...............

Buddy, PLEASE,PLEASE help me. I'm totally lost.

Bob
P.S. are you coming down for Allyn's race

Buddy, why don't you go ahead and post the set-up here, that way anyone can have access to it. Thanks Bro, give me a call later!!!

You the man Bud, appreciate the set-up post. That set-up should get most guys in the ball park just about anywhere.

You have a new PM Thanks Brian

I'd like to see the Hyperdrive version you made. (solid?)

Hyperdrive version is still in the design phase, and it is not going to be a solid it's going to be a slider. I will post screen shots of the CAD program once the design is finished.

Any plans of making solid version Hyperdrive?

It's seems like there is enough interest for a solid so I can go ahead and design one.

PM sent!

Please get in touch!

Jeff Money order on its way. Should see it Saturday or Monday.

Just an update on the web-site. I have a contract signed with the supplier, and it should be up and running by the end of the month, thanks for your patience guys!!!

Jeff you have PM
Thanks Brian

Jeff Please respond to either the e-mail or the pm.

Thanks Wade
