Snowbirds 2011, National Champions Again -
Darkside Motorsports & KSKT Racing Products are Snowbirds National Champions once again after winning the SK class for the third year out of the past four. Chad Odom piloted his KSK-D chassis to victory lane over a very competitive SK field. This win once again prove that, though there are others, Darkside & KSKT are still the leaders in SK car racing.
Darkside Motorsports we'd also like to recognize Team Driver Mark Burt for making the a-main in the 1/10 World GT class at the 2011 Snowbirds. Mark was piloting the new Blur˜10 WGT chassis. Mark was also the winner (survivor) of the figure 8 race on Saturday evening at the Snowbirds running a Darkside I-Force chassis, demonstrating the durability of the Darkside Chassis designs.
The Ignitor is Released -
The design for the Ignitor platform began as an evolution of our four previous oval platforms while continuing to push the envelope by combining the latest industry trends and cutting edge materials. Structurally, this is the best designed chassis we’ve ever made. Darkside cars have always had a reputation for being able to survive the worst wrecks while still driving away. The new chassis carry’s on that tradition, while shedding unnecessary weight and bulk. We’ve spent a good amount of time studying the reactions of the chassis as it makes laps. This translates to a chassis that retains the strength that makes a car responsive to the smallest changes while still building in flex and weight saving cutouts. We’ve not compromised the design of the chassis with pretty cut-outs placed in the wrong locations.
On the Ignitor chassis we’ve considered the current racing trends of 1c Lipo batteries and brushless motors and what is takes to have a chassis fast, efficient and responsive. We kept the adjustability in the chassis for adaptability to most any racing surface or grip condition. Once again, we’re leading the industry by incorporating new ideas in to this car. We are the first to use structural carbon fiber angle for rear body post and center shock mounts. This material is ultra rigid and very light. We’ve moved the t-plate rear pivot further rearward in the car. We’ve also provided the ability for this chassis to be run with a standard symmetrical t-plate (L4 style), our new long t-plate, a short t-plate, a 4-ball t-plate, and trailing links. That’s five rear configurations that can be run with the same chassis and lower plates that come standard with the kits.
The Ignitor is be available as a complete rolling chassis or as a conversion kit. The complete kit will feature a Team Associated L4 style front end with our aluminum castor blocks and RC4less in-line stub axles, Silva Concepts VCS2 micro shocks through out and IRS differential components. The kit will come standard with a long t-plate. We will have the trailing link assembly, short t-plate and 4-ball t-plate available as optional parts.
The Ignitor kit provides comes with the best parts included. Run what’s in the box and you will win, period.
