SSD: What percentage overdrive will your new axle gear give? Will there be an overdrive option for the transmission as well as the axle? I'm so close to buying a kit for my next build but was hoping for more overdrive than the front axle alone.

| Re: First Sneak Peek: SSD Trail King - Pro Scale Chassis Builders Kit! 10% in the front axle. No plans for OD in the transmission yet.

SSD.. any hint to weather you guys will be releasing parts separate, like the offset front axle and trans/t-case setup. There’s some parts that would work with my build. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Not anytime soon. As we want to keep those parts exclusive to the kit for now. As with any kit, parts will get released eventually. So you could just use a Trail King as a base for your build now. | |

Just noticed that the trail king has price dropped to $369. Hell of a price point for this kit. https://www.amainhobbies.com/ssd-rc-...00/p947552?r=0 |

Much more aggressive price point. I picked up mine on the labor day sale to justify but this now makes it way more appealing. Spend the Money saved on some sliders and weights | |

Great price! Hopefully it doesn't mean poor sales.

Almost a can’t miss price point now, I’d imagine the sudden saturation in the market this summer/fall isn’t making it easy to sell these kits but this price is certainly going to help. If I hadn’t just got the Capra I’d be all over this. Soon. |

| Re: First Sneak Peek: SSD Trail King - Pro Scale Chassis Builders Kit! Chris, just curious about something. The TK kit had been out for several months, and the 305mm wheelbase conversion kit has been available for a while now. What's going on with the 324mm wheelbase conversion kit? When will it be available? If it's going to be awhile, can you at least provide the necessary link lengths, so that those who are interested can try lengthening their wheelbase on their own? ~ More peace, love, laughter & kindness would make the world a MUCH better place |

For stretching the TK, you may not need to reposition your shock towers though, it would lay the shocks down a bit when you stretch but that might not be a bad thing. At least worth trying before getting the drill out. | |

I think VP is more highly regarded for the quality of their products and their consistent support behind them in rectifying any flaws or issues one may encounter. With that being said, I don’t know if any manufacturer is going to be the best option for trouble shooting or direction on how to assemble things. You’re better off asking for that kind of help here. But if you ever have an issue with a VP part I’d be surprised if they didn’t get you sorted. Not sure of what you were asking them but figured it was worth throwing out there. If you’re not set on the VFD there are a lot of different transmissions that are compatible with the vs4-10 chassis, such as the stealth x or traditional 3 gear transmissions, that really open up the axle options. |
