K8T Knight Truggy by Casterracing

[razzor]

New Truggy to the large variety of brands popping up .

Looks very good ,waiting for my stock to arrive.
have a few pics of the prototype Pro and RTR versions.
The pro is is supposedly going to be impressive.

RTR
Equipped with a GO .21 engine.

I know someone that has picked up a chassis sponsorship from them but they are very slow in making it over here in the US. Some of it resembles the Mugen MBX5T

 

[razzor]

I will be running one for the new season next year ,am waiting for my production version to arrive.
The truggies that are in the US were mostly prototypes that guys were evaluating.

One thing I notice.

If your going to be competing with mugen, kyosho, jammin and the others at that level you need to offer a one piece engine mount. It doesn't seem like there is much bracing either.

 

[jetmechG550]

I saw that too VB, kinda thought it may have been just a RTR version (the pull start).

 

[Monkey Wrench]

I'm no expert by any stretch, but I like the one-piece battery/RX box as well. Seems like it'd be easy to get to and flip packs out, if needed.

 

[razzor]

I have to aggree about the one piece mount ,hope to see it in the production version.
The Pro has ally stiffeners but comes with a plastic rear stiffener bracket.

Pro stiffener ,note the cvd.

RTR Stiffener

Front shock tower.

Rear end.

One more draw back that I am not liking is that they are still using e-clips to hold the hinge pins.
Other than that it looks good and I know for a fact the plastic is top notch ,I sell buggy a-arms to the guys to replace there Mugen ones and the guys swear by the strength of the Caster a-arms.

Not selling anything to you guys ,I am in Africa bro.
Just need to inform guys that there is other products out there.

 

[jetmechG550]

You can install the mugen captured pins, those that I know or have read about that are running for Caster have been using some Mugen parts.

 

[razzor]

Yes we use Mugen or Kfactory captured hinge pins.

We love the fact that you have great experience with your product and are willing to share it with us. In this aspect you have a great deal to offer this forum. On the other hand its annoying to members as they read your posts. Its like an infomercial. If your not familiar with what that is, Its paid for television spots that look and feel like a tv show but they are selling you something. It doesn't matter if your making money or not, the way you express your information looks, feels, and smells like your marketing the product. All your posts in regard to your product have an agenda and it hase become transparent to not only me but to many members that have reported your posts as advertising to the staff.

You will need to present your info as a user and not an advertiser. RCNT self funded with the exception of the small fees we charge to advertisers. If in fact you want to continue to post infomercial style we will be more then glad to charge you to do so. If you would like to change your style and post as a knowledgeable user thats great and we welcome you with open arms.

See.... Its possible to lay out facts in a pleasant and informative way without name calling or insults. You should try it sometime.

infomercial
Great ,every guy or gal on the thread posting positive things about there fav or new rc product is doing the same thing ,endorsing a product.
Sure if I was making a sales from my posts then sure I would be guilty but how does one chat about a product you like and inform poeple about it with out being shot down.

 

[FastEddy]

There is a fine line of being positive about something and hawking it.
Your answer before you even type it is gong to be I'm not making any money. This may be true but you trying to SELL us on the product.

You can start with trying to be objective and go from there. We have no issues with your affiliation, Honestly I think its a good thing. The one point you need to see is that we are over all an extremely well educated and knowledgeable group and are fully capable of making out buying decisions on facts. We dont need or want someone with an agenda trying to fill the air with smoke like a diet pill or fishing lure infomercial.

You are more then welcome to point out what you like about the product just be real and dont try to sell us on the idea.
