How do I get in touch with Anytime?

ROadsplat,yeah I meant PEPE, when I ran my KSG on the local flat track I ran the included .063 T-plate.
Thanks for the kind words also, but bad news is we tried to re-order kits and well there are none at this time.
As far as set-up the suggested set-up from SRM is very good. Actually PEPE the thick T-plate I was speaking of was meant for you. But ROADSPLAT, ANYTIME72 also has soft spring steel T-plates that I have run also and work really well.

Soft t-plates or thick t-plates let me know what you are looking for. I've also made some custom stuff for a few people. Latest batch are 12th scale T's. I can make them with offset for rear steer if needed also.

Where are you guys running the battery tray?

Thanks

RC

Measuring from the bottom plate to the back of the battery tray(not speed control extension, the tray) somewhere .500-.600. Mine is like .530 right now.

What wheel weights are you guys running on the KSG? Also I'm in the process of build a scale tweak board. Would it be best to build one with two scales or is one for the left rear plenty?

I cracked the LF corner of the chassis. There is a crack in the middle of the front, and another across the slider holes for the front end. I made a brace for it, and the car actually handles better with the bottom pod plate of a 10l glued to the front end :jest:

It really does seems to handle better, but i would still like to replace the chassis. Where can I find one made of GOOD woven carbon fiber?????

well, if you are going to hit stuff all the time you should probably CA the edges of the graphite parts. :wave:

i swear, it was just a little sweep on the wall :cool:

it really wasn't that bad, it was just the way it happenned, however it was. I haven't come up short since since tuesday though!

I did seal the chassis though, it was the graphite bumper that transferred the shock to the main chassis. Generally i just touch the wall when i come up short, so i just run a thin foam bumper. But however it happenned that time was bad enough to crack it.

I think my drving skills at this particular track have improved enough to make me feel confident in running a graphit bumper though. They have greatly improved just this weekend with all the runs i have made in preparation for the regionals this past weekend. And even with the front end brace it handled well, which surprised me.

I am very happy with the car. It is very smooth and fast through the corner. plenty of adjustments. Just a little fragile, but it makes up for it in handling. It actually does handle better with the front end brace though! lol I can't believe a bottom pod plate of a 10l glued to the front end and the front end slots dremeled out would actually work. I am happy it does though! :wave:

hmmm...I have never broken a chassis. I run the graphite bumper and a full foam bumper(with the center cut out) The more foam you run the less problems you should have.

It is possible that they got a batch of bad graphite in. I know when I was running for hyperdrive we had a run of stuff that every piece made out of it split. It wasn't anything to do with hyperdrive but the graphite supplier.

Is this only a 4 cell chassis?

Thanks,

Race3737
yes there is a optional 6 cell tray.

I am not a graphite expert, but it did seems soft. When I drilled the servo mount holes, it turned into a twist, like when you drill aluminum. Every other piece I have worked with turns to dust when sanded, drilled, cut, etc...

Roadsplat you should build your scale board with at least 2 scales. And run around 13oz of LR.

FYI....I use a flat plate and three blocks of oak cut exactly the same height as the scale platform. I also have a 2 axis level to set the plate before I scale the car. I mainly check and re-set for LR weight but you can move the scale to get any corner weight you want. Easy to pack and least expensive with only one scale.

Dwight :thumbsup:

Thanks for the info. I picked up two scales for $25 (Pelouze PE-5) Didn't think that was a bad price at all. So I will build a 2 scale board. I would assume that I place both scale to weigh the rear wheels...correct?

RC

The biggest problem with using two scales is you will rarely find two with the same deck heights, causing the numbers to be off. It isn't a huge deal once you find out what weights work for you, use them all the time and they become your numbers. I have weight on several different peoples scales set-ups and i got anywhere from a 10-50gram difference in scales.

make sure you mark a left and right scale and don't flip them around or you'll be in a tweak nightmare. :thumbsup:

danny's right on about the deck heights of the same kind of scales. i have 4 "high quality" scales, and all had different deck heights. i ended up equalizing the low ones to the high one with varying thicknesses of 1" masking tape. also,, they are labeled for each corner of the car, so the board is set up the same every week..... and, don't forget the calibration weight!

pctom LOOKING FORWARD TO RUNNING AGAIN AT FOUNTIAN SEE YA SAT.. :thumbsup:

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

See you Sat Tom and Rocket (Mr. Team KSG)

woohoo.... pete's wife is letting him out to play!

Wow!!

Danny B. Do you run the toe-correcter for this car? What could I expect it to do for me? Thanks Skip Shartzer

Skip I have a motor I want you to try sun if your going to be there

Yes i run the toe correcter. It eliminates the bump steer you get in the LF when you raise the LF arm more level. On flat tracks i run the LF arm all the way down so you don't really need it but when i raise the arm for banked tracks it works great. and it looks cool and makes people ask questions :D

Danny thanks you answered my question (looks cool) LOL
Tony, I'll be there sun.

Hey Danny, are ya going to the warm up race in Lansing? :cool:

Frank...you and your bro's better be heading to Knoxville this weekend. They are staying open late Friday just for you.......

Dwight

No need to stay open late for me. I can't leave until around 5:00 fri. So, I'll see ya when doors open Sat. :thumbsup:

Cool...glad you're coming. I have to work Friday too. Seeya' Saturday.

Dwight

What about your little brother Zubie? :eek:

What about your little brother Zubie? :eek:


WOW!!!

No Zubie this weekend, he said he has to go thru, & match all his cells. He'll be at the Lansing warm up race.

I know that it is one this thread somewhere but I can't find it. Is there somewhere I could get pics of the front sway bar kit.

thanks
jason

http://www.rc-oval.com/ there is an article here that has pics

Danny, I know said wheel base short in your set-up. Does that mean both front blocks all the way back? Thanks.

Tommygun43, on flat track i run the blocks all the way back.

what is a toe corrector?

k7king, When the tie-rods are not in line with the upper a-arms, like when you raise the inner pivot on the LF arm, that creates a bunch of bump steer. Andy makes a aluminum piece that bolts on the LF steering block that lowers the outer tie-rod end, ie. eliminating the bump steer.

Danny, where are you running the wheel base for banked tracks?

Tom

Tom, I am a big fan of short wheelbase, the two local outdoor tracks by me(both caps) are fairly low banking. I still ran all the way short. I ran half way at BMS for the paved nats. I haven't had a chance to run any banked carpet on the car. I would say half way would be a good place to start for banked carpet. Measure off the front of the chassis to make sure both arms are in the same spot respectively.

i just got my ksg, and i race flat carpet. i am wondering if there is a different hub i need for the left side. if so would a l3 work? another thing is the rear end sopposed to be this high off the ground?
thanks in advance...

forget the rear heighth i figured it out duh.

never mind i called ksg.

question, does the ksg need the axle height adjusters that places the axle back farther. or does the standard work better. cause the motor pod is huge for gearing anyways. just wanted to know what works better.

The standard ride height adjusters are fine to use.
Danny, How are you doing with your solid plate car?

thanks, jbm

is there any pictures of this toe corrector?
