The K2 was the best of the Kanai series IMHO.
The problem with making one of these a truggy is gearing and the short arms with the MT wheels. With the stock arms its liek racing a square not to stable in the rough. The Native arms help alot with this problem. Like I said when I went down this road it became a money pit, and I was never happy with it. John (dent guy) and I even went as far as having a new carbon fiber radio tray made so we could accomodate a larger spur gear, wich solved the gearing issue, but still the suspension geometry is not made to handle mt wheels.
(REVO2K) will insert here how he runs mt tires and has lightning gearing in his with no probs. LOL
Yeah that might work for a while but the gearing ratio is still to low at the clutch and thats why premature clutch failure is not uncommon.
Thanks for the info...
I went to Kyoshos website and found out that the wheelbases are all equal and I know what you mean about the spur gear situation. This isn't going to be a race project so I'm not too concerned about the geometry issues, but I may convert it to a long arm eventually, but that's later on.
