Kanai II Truggy Buildup - 06-06-2006, 03:50 PM

So I spilled the beans! Some of you already knew, but now everyone will! I got Six's K2 truggy. Now it's buildup time! Here's what I started with;

Thanks Six for this pic;



Here's my new way of more securely mounting the rear body posts;



And attached;



Here's the nice looking not zip tied on front body mount lol;



And the spektrum receiver and 1200 pack;



The servo's for now; 2 JR 650's;



The widened wing;



And how it looks right now;





I will be adding more as more stuff comes in the mail. Hopefully will be running within 2 weeks.

There was a trophy that I didn't get that this truck won? I want my money back! Naa j/p...

Czech, I wasn't planning on it lol. The LP's worked ok on my savage, but I didn't like 'em that much. I have some Boa's getting ready for this truck when I remember to buy a wheel nut wrench lol.

Dave, there's no cushions for those....They're comfy as is.
No attacking houses with this one unless it's somebody elses

good luck running full size MT tires..... you will need to do a lot of gearing changes. also look at the GS STORM SUT body mounts its a much cleaner look and a lot stronger......

when CMEB4DK and I ran our K2 truggys we had to run 54 tooth spur gears
and had to make some custom raido trays to move the T/B servo over.

Six said that he had switched the ring/pinion gears from the Kyosho ones to the ones from the LSP, so it would easily be able to run MT tires with no problems...

I like how smooth this thing rolls with no motor yet! LoL I can just sit it on my driveway and it'll roll into the middle of the street...

Yes there is a trophy with that truck. But it was only partly because of the truck and the rest was driver.

Did you get that STS .28 motor for $102 from RcMushroom? What about a backplate?

Good luck with racing a square. It will be the same with as it is long. As I have experience with a k2 truggy, it is a money pit that will never compete. I dont mean this in any bad way just sharing my experiences. It handled much better once I got the native arm kit, but thats an additional 250 or so. The suspension geometry is just not set up to run big tires.

Good luck in your adventure, as I had fun with mine but that was 2 years ago when there where no REAL truggies on the market.

To give you an honest opinion from a guy that turned an ofna mbx into a truggy then had a gs storm then a k2 (like yours) then a k2 with native arms then a LSP and now a CRT. I would sell it as it is or turn it back into a buggy and save for a newer truggy. It will be cheaper in the long run, plus you will be much happier....


A friend will help you move, but a REAL friend will help you move a body.
