Well, new owner, time for a new thread. As many of you know, I recently purchased KSKT Racing Products from it's previous owner. We'll still be supporting all of the older KSKT products and we'll be introducing new ones as well. My main goal is to help bring SK racing to the next level and help it migrate from the northeast to the rest of the country. As many of you know from other posts that I have made, I don't want this thread to be a place to argue about things. I want only CONSTRUCTIVE conversations and comments. I've been doing a good amount of work this summer to come up with a unified set of rules for this class to eliminate the problems experienced in the past. With that said, please feel free to contact me with your questions or comments. I'm best reached by e-mail at eric@darksidems.com, you can also PM me or call me at 970-484-9503 and leave a message. The website address is www.kskts.com (http://www.kskts.com) and all of our products are listed there. I've also attached a link to the old and now closed KSKT product support thread which has a bunch of useful set-up information.

Well, the chassis will be pretty much the same, but the car will have a new rear pod. Let me know what you are thinking for the class, is it 17.5 1 or 2 cell?

-Eric

I thought the class was 13.5 1 cell?

My thoughts being, lets put the driver back into the game. This is why a few of us thought that 17.5 2c would be the best bet. As it is now 13.51c and 21.5 2c everybody says are pretty close together, plus all you do is peg the throttle and turn the wheel. Lets face it if somebodys radio is off a couple of clicks they cant drive their car. So a few of us figured lets overpower the car as it was intended years ago when the class started and let the drivers drive, and just use the radio as a source of the signal and not the main ingreadent as to how good the car works.

If I could have it my way Id make everybody run an analog radio, lets see what happens then.

Nice post Big D . eric like you read we will try it as 17.5 2 cell 3200 batt

Hey E good luck on your new venture....

Darrel, I'm gonna copy this post over on the SK Rules thread, and reply to it there....

For everybody using the Darkside rear pod on their KSK cars (And older Enemy chassis) we'll have a new pod with the "J" shaped top plate and a bit of rear steer drilled in the bottom plate in stock, also in about 2 weeks. This will very shortly be the stock rear end for the KSKD chassis.

KSKD Kits will be back in stock and ready to ship starting on September 10th

WOW I never thought I would see the day Ken B would switch teams especially to team DRCrap. It doesnt matter anymore you are right for sure. I remember many conversations you and I have had, hope they were not to get free stuff from me yea ITSMEE!!!! I promise I wont tell Dale what you really think of him and the rest of the group and there cars.

I never had a prob being fast on the flat tracks or banked track... I remember beating most of those jacknuts with the worst motor in the building.. spend more time tunning and driving than blaming on car design.

ok sitting back quiet again..till next time.. Hi Eric I still have your proto stuff in a box here will send back someday.

whats the process for getting a car approved again? hmmmmm

Enough, I'm not real interested in who is running for who, who said what, etc. Let it go.

I forgot some poeple take things to seriously...

No one can joke around on-line.... Clayton knows he's the man no matter what he is driving...... Hell, we all know only old people drive Buicks.

Ken B - Take a bohem minute -------- and know your liked by all even if you are driving a DRC car.... LOL....

Romo - Can you tell me if a T-Plate is really a spring???? Ummmm, nevermind..... ( we don't have enough time for that one) LOL..
