KF Stadium Truck...
Fancied a bit of truck racing, but as no Schuey truck is available I thought I would convert a KF to stadium trim using some odd bits I had to see how it went..
Ran it briefly for the first time last week and its ballistic... |

Looks good, what did you use to convert it?

Its basically TC02T shafts & wishbones that have been re-drilled and narrowed on the rear, with the fronts re-driled and spaced to fit the schuey bottom plate..
Rear body mount was some random touring car thing that was narrowed to suit and fronts are TC02T re-drilled and in place of the front shock tower fasteners. Pretty simple, but drives awesome! |

Where do you run? Any vids of the heats?

I run at Silverstone, so its indoor astro... very high grip.. It really needs another row off as I had to limit the steering to 45% throw!!
I've only run it once at the winter series last week, but it was already 3 seconds faster per lap than everyone else... and that was without actually trying to get it set up.. Don't think there was any video unfortunately. And yup, ST all the way!! |

Ran the truck again tonight... I love it...
On a sub 18 second lap I was half a second slower than with my KF and consistent, pretty good for an ST! I thought it needed longer shocks, but happy with it as it is.. |

Can you post a full list of parts needed to convert the KF and pictures of any modifications. I'd love to do this to make a fun truck for practice nights 😃

But seriously, your truck last night was awesome, first time I've ever seen a truck that looked like it really handled at Silverstone. |

Parts list is earlier in the thread, I don't have part numbers as such as I had the bits laying around..
You're right Nige... need to stop trying to run two cars in one night and concentrate on one or the other!! |

I'm looking to do something with either my KF or KF2
Are the dimensions of the latest stadium trucks the same, i.e. Do they have longer chassis etc Cheers

Based on the kits above, why is the 2.2" wheel diameter used over the 2.8"?

Just to note, if you run the Team C wishbones up front it ends up around 6mm longer, so around 291mm ish..
Still got mine, in bits waiting for a reason to put it back together |
