race3737 12-06-2002, 06:11 PM Is this only a 4 cell chassis?
Thanks,

Danny B 12-06-2002, 08:52 PM I am not sure if there are plans for a optional 6-cell tray for now. There isn't much demand and they are running wide open just to get the kits out the door. I am not sure but I would guess 6-cell trays from other cars(hyperdrive,racetech,assoc) might fit right on or could be modified to work.
Thanks

tmangold 12-07-2002, 03:23 PM This is one awsome car! Put mine together and it was on a rail the first race, 20 min after I finished it. Best buy for the money with all that is included.

jbm38 12-29-2002, 12:20 PM Seen one of these kits last night at the race track nice packaging. And awesome overall kit, nice job KSG:thumbsup:
Indy500Racer 01-06-2003, 12:33 AM Now that a few of us are picking this car up to run lets talk setups.
I'm building my new KSG this week.
What are you guys using for a starting setup? I'm running a 125' flat oval.
Danny B 01-06-2003, 12:51 AM Sorry guys I have been out of town for a week, till last night. I will send out my Set-up for everyone that has asked really soon. And probably post it here.
Thanks
Danny B.
tmangold 01-06-2003, 01:16 AM Danny send me that setup too I don't want indy500 to get a leg up on me lol!

Thanks

Don't forget the part about the body or make it clearer so people like me don't screw it up!! My car was real loose when I started running it but right away, even being loose and very uncomfortable to drive, was two tenths faster a lap than my L4O ever was. Luckily for me, I race with Danny every week so he helped me a bunch with setup on my car and made it drivable, it didn't get any faster just much more consistanly fast and much more comfortable to drive. I didn't have enough tweak in the car either, mainly from listening to a local hacker, you know who you are, but when that was straightened out it was much better. I really like the car now and only need to get the offset pod hubs to complete the car how it needs to be and also a new bumper because I split it in the main!!
Danny B 01-06-2003, 12:34 PM I think you will like the car a lot. Everyone I have talked to has had
no complaints. The car runs really well right out of the box. The only thing we are doing that isn't standard is we are running off-set pod, the kit comes with hubs for running centered pod. We are running the long hub on the RR and 1/2 on the LR. They have the hubs available but I don't know how many extras they are producing right now. Talk to Dale at AAA Model, he should have them.
This is the set-up I have been running, I tq'ed and won(mod) the
snowbirds warm-up race in Ohio, broke the track record(19t) in Milwaukee and broke the track record(19t) at both my home tracks all with this set-up.
Short wheelbase, PF HD monte carlo with the big Thunder wing. Mount the body back as for as you can, Mine is mounted so the corners of the bumper just touch the body. Off-set pod. The rear track width is 7.88". Both rear tires .125" outside of the Rf and Lf respectively. Better tray .600 gap between back of the tray and the front of the bottom plate.
Green Standard front springs. LF: 0 castor, +1 camber, upper a-arm in
bottom hole. RF: 4 castor, -2.5 camber, upper arm in bottom hole. Center shock: One hole forward, 5th hole down. 50 wt oil, Cut down Red
truck spring, .063 solid bias t-plate, .020 shim under front ball. For a bumpy track, you may have to go to a softer center spring.
Side shocks: LR 30wt oil blue spring, RR 30wt oil Gold spring. Bottom
mounting hole.
Run 11-11.5 oz on the LR for weight.
Tires: Jaco LF Grey RF Black
LR white RR Grey
Start with even stagger in the front and .020 reverse in the rear.
Also, if you need more rear traction run pinks on both sides in the rear, then you may need to go to a pink LF if you have too much traction. I have been running pinks because that is how we have been running in Modified, but we ave found that it works awesome in 19t too. The Pink LF is usually too much for a weekly show, cause you just don't get that high of bite in the carpet. So a BlK RF, Grey LF and Pink rears is what I have been running at weekly shows. Then work with the tire stagger to get it dialed in.
If you have anymore questions don't be afraid to ask here or email me.

Hobbymike 01-08-2003, 01:22 AM Danny,
how is your front end king pins spaced do you run the left upper arm flat or angled?:dude:
Danny B 01-08-2003, 03:21 PM Hi Mike,
I am using wolfe long kingpins, with two thick black spacers and 3 .020 shims all on top of the upper a-arm and it is the same on both sides.
Both upper a-arms are in the bottom holes in the castor blocks on both sides.
Later
Danny B.

:devil:
OVAL4EVER 01-14-2003, 02:23 AM I gotta admitt. it's a good car. I thought with all the allumium goodies, It might be a bit "chunky" but I spent last Saturday chasing one with my trusty SSE Pro....I got to say..looked real fast from behind...driver had a little to do with it I'm sure, but dman, for a car that jsut makes weight, it is distributed VERY well.
next time I buy a new car might pick opne up myself.
VooDoo Man 01-14-2003, 09:15 AM Hey eric, Thanks man, Eddie and myself beat the track record sat night and took a 1,2 finish. I did it with 3000's, so i'm ready to come back down to play with ya. Looks like we got a big group comming,about 12-14 right now. Good luck with the car and I'll see you in april. Later, "LT"

OVAL4EVER 01-15-2003, 12:20 AM I saw that run you made Mario. great Job, Thanks for the help you managed to provide me. Sorry for the Funk I was in,Walt and I have never gotten along well, and it was a bad week before He started with me, still was better than sitting at home.
Bruce said Hi.
:wave:
Carpet Assasin 01-15-2003, 12:37 AM Hey Bruce, BTW, im sorry but who are you? Sorry, cant place you.
Mario M. :dude:
OVAL4EVER 01-15-2003, 12:44 AM Please disregard what was previously here.
Graphix Man 01-15-2003, 09:25 AM Oval You can't blame you not being able to get your car to run the way it should on Walt, You must undestand that it is his job to stop uncontrolled cars from taking other cars out of the race. I really do not think it was Walt's personal cause to pick on you.
