Ansmann Kryptonite Kit (Truggy)

[ScottyDogWoof]

Guys

Any one got one yet. My local model shop has just got one in for me should be picking it up tomorrow, cant wait. The other truggy they do (terrier) is identical alomost to the hyper 7 pbs, which in the day was very good. One guy in my local club has one. He's reported back that there no slower than the top models. Not sure if it depends heavily on the thumbs or that its just a good car. I will post some pics up of the build soon as i start building.

Its been so long since i had a kit build. Normally have to buy the car strip it and rebuild. Totally pointless to racers having a ready built car/buggy, its great that they are giving the option.

Car should rob me about £135. A terrier is about 100 quid. Fantastic value these cars are. I'll post as an when i get started.

If any one has built one and has any tips that will be greatly recived.

Youve purchased a damn good truggy. Our sponsored driver runs one as a second class and produces very good results with it.

Only thing you need to do when building is check crownwheel/pinion meshing very carefully. I usually put 1 shim behind the pinion bearing to push the pinion gear in a little further as well as shim the diff left-right.

Let us know how you get on

Nice tip, will keep an eye on that Is there any hop up list for this.. Will Vapor stuff fit on.. They look rather simular?

how does the 8th buggy fare?

im looking to change teams soon since xray has gone to a new distributor..

I'v heard they have done a Vapor pro which is ment to be very very good. Some nice hop ups too.
