which one fits better on the beefy sk chassis 1/10 or 1/12 scale , kinda like the 1/12 but pics are not clear

back at ya

The part # for the Windtunnel SK type body is #WT2095. It is 1/12th scale and is being used on the SK type cars. I do not know what the #2039 is. Perhaps that is a typo but it is not a Windtunnel part number.

Glad I could help out.

i think it was 2390 is that maybe 1/10 scale?

what are some updated frontends for these cars , or just assoc. 8400 kit ,

if i went with the calandra f.e. would i use 1/10 or 1/12 scale?

You would use the 1/10 front end b/c it uses the long king pins so you can run std. springs with a spring cup. All the rest of the front end componets are interchangeable between the 1/10 and 1/12 front end but there are 2 different akermen plates you could use, so just keep that in mind. pm me if you would like one and like to know some different options.

how are the wind tunnel frt ends as compared to ae frt ends

Ae front ends work with the car's why would you want to change it . And by the way when the rules get put together for S/K's for the 2010 season . it will be mandatory that this will be the frt end to run no new r 5 allowed or crc or wind tunnel i think

darn ken,:confused: u meen i cant read between the lines anymore like most old time racers.have a great summer see ya soon.:woohoo::wave: mike:thumbsup:

KB,How long you figure the new the #8400 front-end will be available?? From reading some posts on HT,the new R5 front-end is supposed to work better.As close as an SK is to a pancar,why wouldn't one try/use the new parts??..............especially if they work better:confused:

Don't be convinced that they are the next best thing right now. I know of several people who agree with that. I've spoken with Associated and they plan on making the parts for the L4 front end for as long as there is a demand for it. I think that for now, we need to keep with the older front end and not allow the R5 front end.

thats good news ,i just put a 8400 frt end on the beefy sk, got rid of the spec f.e.

as of now.Are you still gonna carry the 8400 kit?? KSKT was the last place I saw the kit available complete.Thanks Eric.

radsnappy,Sorry to be jackin your thread.............

I'm not going to be carrying the 8400 kit per se, but I do stock all of the front end parts that you'd need. I'm going to put together a "budget" front end kit for the SK's that will have what you'll actually want to run and not anything that you'll just throw in you're spare parts box. Price will be very close to the 8400 front end kit

-E

Good deal,I'll keep an eye out for the kit.Thanks again.

guys, no problem love reading the info , rc4less has those 8400 kits in stock 32.00

ea you guys are rt . i have run the new r5 frt end on all my car's . let me tell you i see a BIG advantage in it . it is so much smoother then the old 1. Eric glad to here the news on a low budget frt end comming soon . have a great summer and we will catch in the fall OLDTIMER said that

And by the way when the rules get put together for S/K's for the 2010 season . it will be mandatory that this will be the frt end to run no new r 5 allowed or crc or wind tunnel i think


KB,So whos putting the rules together for this season for the SK's??
Not for nothing,but I think the "TOUR" is going to have a package together
for the SK racers,mfr's. and tracks to take a look at..................:thumbsup:
IMO,With the only difference between a pancar and a Pro Class S/K being body,wheelbase,and dampers,this might be in the best interest of the class.
Consider the 13.5 1-cell,and you guys ran 21.5 2-cell on the banks.
Snowbirds hosted the classes in Fla. Plus a new car coming from Hyperdrive
this year,"TOUR" rules/guidelines could be the boost the class needs ;)

I'm working on something and have talked with Hyperdrive. Hope to have something out in the next two weeks.

Eric,you have a pm!

Rules should have been made by now dont you think!!!!!
DODC and WDRA had their 09 rules package almost done by 8/08.(motor and battery combo's set in stone)Thats the most important. Why cant carpet guys get something done sooner. I have no budget to work with so Im not going to buy anything from anybody untill something's put down on paper. I cant afford to buy a 1 cell for 17.5 and then find out everybody's running 2 cell 21.5.

I'm working on something and have talked with Hyperdrive. Hope to have something out in the next two weeks.

Can you let me in on it....

does anyone know who makes bodies for the sk cars other than kskt:freak:

Available from drc-engineering.com in 2 weeks or less. I have not submitted it to SKOR for approval yet :rolleyes:, but it's cool as hell.

That would be a good idea!! Now that a couple of the mfrs are on the same page,I took the liberty of sending Steve P./TOUR a copy of the SKOR package from
when it was last written............:rolleyes: Anyway,he's had a chance to give it a read,and would like to speak to whomever wants to discuss the rules package for '09-'10 season.Pancar guys seem to be quite enthusiastic about the TOUR package. IMO DRC Engineering,Darkside/KSKT,Hyperdrive,and any other mfr. of an S/K should be involved in any progress of the class.Leading Edge had a car at the '09 Snowbirds,hopefully he'll chime in too.I hope it all works out..............

Can you let me in on it....

Certainly, give me a ring and we can chat about it. I want you input on this as well.

Eric, very good talking with you today! I like where this is going.

I Like it!...No rear spoiler?

It's got a 1/2" tall spoiler. Should be plenty.

those bodies are awsome ,i wish they were tour legal.

Windtunnel Front ends work great in place of associated. Better design, and much better performance. And they do have aluminum castor blocks available as well

Working on it. Right now the TOUR has no SK rules at all.

While I like the body, I see no way to prevent racers to make their own version,therefore making it difficult to tech. Some of us have been making similiar bodies for other cars,for years.

12,In dirt oval,you know that "folded" works better than "molded" hands down "FFnF"
prime example.
Still as there's been no release in a rules package yet,and that there's only 2 maybe 3
good SK bodies,maybe it will work out.If DODC,and the WDRA can tech the "Floppers"
it shouldn't be too difficult have any of these be usable.IMO 'course

Yep. I make a lot of EDM bodies also. The DODC / WDRA has all the dimensions nailed down pretty good. There are several guys that "mass produce" them, but lots of guys just make their own, still meeting the rules. It's cheaper to make one for about $10 than to buy one for $25 - $45. Do you know how many times I've just replaced a roof or a door skin instead of a whole new body? So what if you have some skills and make your own SK body? As long as the rules have them pinned down so no one can do something stupid, wouldn't it be cool to see some different flavors of SK bodies? I don't care if I sell bodies or not, I'd like to see racers have the option to do their own thing. Not that you can compare RC to real cars, but nowadays, NASCAR has all the Modifieds looking the same and it's boring. I hate to see "cookie-cutter" cars. The only thing that's different is the paint jobs. Ooooh- there's a red one, that one's black, there's a green one....

But, if the new rules can't manage to do what DODC/WDRA has done, and it's not approved, then whenever I go to a track that runs 'whatever rules we end up with', I will stick to my Windtunnel Cavalier. Mine will be Orange.

Is that Flo. Orange or Competition Orange???.........;)

COMP Orange! Flo. would require more than one coat. That's against my religion:p

.015,and 2 coats.........................LOL!!!!

Get decent coverage with flo orange (2 or 3,and it doesn't have to be perfect) then back it w/ comp orange. I did a cavalier sk for a kid a few years back this way and it was BRIGHT.:thumbsup:

I'm sure the rules could state a clear body rule package. "x" body length,including "x" from axle center to rear spoiler,"x" roof and tail height,"x body width, and min % of tire showing. Just like WDRA and DODC. Just my 2 cents.
If not for the sk's,how about for open mod?

Blah Blah Blah. Whatever. Read dirt mod rules for the bodies. Its not that difficult to figure out if you know how to read and use a ruler.
