Hey guys just quick question, picking up a KC and L1 on Tuesday, main track is low grip so been advised to get a ball diff, however I can get a KD conversion for £20 more then KC ball diff (price of included body) so wondering how it would compare/which you prefer KC ball diff or KD car on low grip

The problem is that you cannot use the KD ball diff due to the geared gearbox so you have to have the proper KC ball diff.

The Kc on anything but low grip dirt will be faster... the KD is best on low grip dirt/clay. Very slippery conditions

Lol me either. I remember 10 or so years ago at the nats in Vegas I had a horrible race and figured I’d dump $500 in raffle tickets for a 1/4 scale car they were giving away. There were hardly any tickets because most people flew to the race and couldn’t bring the car back. I some how struck out on that one too lol

just picked up a kc. the build been super easy. One question is how should the belt be set? tight? loose? any tips or rule of thumb on belt tension? I am planning to run in position 3 on high grip turf, 17.5 class.

Typically tight enough you can twist it 90deg. It’s a feel thing you’ll get after a while. I usually run position 4 for Astro and a Klinik max stock conversion kit in 17.5. Makes a huge difference in drag and speed 👍
