Will normal lexan paint be usable for those shock protectors? They look like they are made of normal clear pastic and not polycarbonate.

[mark christopher]

Would say so they feel like thick lexan

Hello, I'm looking forward to buy the kf, my problem is my local track is made of dirt and low grip, after a short love story whith a x cubed, that handle the track like a "sausage" in comparaison whith my b4.2, i'm looking for a change, well I know the kr would be the car, but nothing to write home about.

However I really like the kf and belt transmission, I wonder if whith a ball diff, alloy rear trans, shorty packs, the car would work in low grip conditions?

Any pieces of advice.

Thanks a lot.

In the same boat as you wolvie. Even though Im impressed with the design Im hesitating buying it for lack of reports on medium grip tracks. "It went well" is not much to go on Regarding your idea using a shorty, I suspect that would remove weight from the rear. However, if you could stuff a shorty all the way back, would there then be enough room to have the esc infront of it? Anyone? Would probably have to mod the battery strap mounts but could any kf owner eyeball that idea for me?

I've seen some pictures, there's not enough room left for the speedo...

P Dub Racing do protectors and I used them on my DB1

I think someone was custom making for the KF too

I brought K1 and KF chassis protectors from the link in Mikey Scott's reply, awesome service and product. They are pre cut to the exact shape and even have the holes in them for the screws on the underside of the chassis. For the money you can't beat them.

Had my kf out on wet slippery astro yesterday at coastal model car club . Am very impressed with the car and was battleing with a 22.2 allday tq in rd 1 and winning one leg of A final will up load my setup later on

[jonathan may]

they look like thet should be ok on wet grass or astro looks to be a lot of weight over rear end ?

[Kelk]

Took mine out for the first time proper yesterday and took the B final wining 2 legs outright and 2nd in the 3rd. The track started out very wet, the car needed a few tweaks and just got better and better throughout the day.

The I between lipo weight helps and running the SWB was a doddle

Here's some pics

Ok, there must issues with this car it can't be perfect . I've seen a few broken front hubs but I think that being dealt with. Is there anything else ?


Don't misunderstand the post, I like the car, I want one, I just want to know if there's any issues .

Great car all depends how you drive
If you crash every lap you might break a hub or yoke but you only would in any other car. I've found no problems with mine nothing at all

It's the easiest to drive 2wd car I've had seriously

It's f***ing quick!! National winner 2014.....

[Kurtje]

I love the car how it handles and drives... but I would like some more rear grip on some slippy parts of the track.

This is the track i drive this winter on



I've already ordered the Trishbit KF weight hope this help a little bit.
