Its my second most favourite car! Probably give it 8/10! (The Xray gets 9.... nothing is perfect! ) I like the first generation one better! The second generation has tonnes of steering even without a front one-way. These are very well made cars! I have 3 of them.... need I say more! Why do you ask... are you thinking of buying one?!

that will be fine. you might also try to use silver spring which is a bit harder then yellow.

Car Action mainly is a adv material for US-made cars. I am not saying KX-One is perfect. But it definitely got less "problem" than TC3 .....

rking: i'll try some more setups this weekend, so i'll let you know later. but i do think the Kx-one is a great car for a big track and high speed racing. this is probably the most stable car in the market right now( beside the Pro3). From a physic point of view, with most of the weight in the center, the car with have alot less cornering force so that it can go through turns faster than other design. but since it take alot more force to overcome the grip of the tires, this car will understeer most of the time unless you put some not so sticky tires in the back. this car is on rail... its really hard to break lose even at very high speed... btw...dont trust those RCcaraction people.... you got to find out for yourself...!

In general, car with battery placement such as KX1 is very sensitive on steering respond. Since this car allows chassis flex according to ernestf, it will be different. the chassis flex and batt placement is also similar to Pro3 but Kx1 is a single belt car as pro 2 is a dual belt car.

hi manticore, you know i thought this is the best TC design will go, but i guess having all the weight in the center does have its disadvantages too.... so hopefully my design will overcome this problem... what kind of car do you race? i forgot....

yeah, the rotational force is smaller with the batt are lining in the center with the same direction as the chassis~~ therefore less effort is needed to turn~

rking: the X-ray will handle the same as Pro2, 414M and other cars with similar design. but of course the quality of X-ray and 414M is far better.
