MICROS

Spring is here and the new Offroadseason starts soon. On time for the beginning of the new season we make it possible-the econnomically priced introduction to the 4WD league of the Grand Models.

A various number of 1:6 Offraod Models can be upgraded with the new KAMITIRO conversion kit. This kit will be available in different levels of extension by the end of April. The price will be from 375,-€.

New information about it, will come soon.

The pictures clearly show a FG Marder.

That is gonna be a HOT seller, hats off to Kamitiro.

i´ve seen it running!! i can promise you guys, this thing is great! believe me!

hellya

get that belt drive wet one time and see how much it slips until its dry Is it a ribbed belt?

Didn't FG already have the belt drive but didn't mass produce it ...I wonder why??

Well atleast its alot more affordable than the chain drive conversion kit... about 1/3 the cost $460 A front diff setup, a belt and a extension off your pinion drive.......... thats the kit??

Hellya the only belts that would slip are "V" belts. These are timing belts and have teeth on them. They are VERY strong. The problem is though, is that rocks and stuff get in them easy and it just takes a small one to lock up the whole deal. With that said, this setup looks pretty good and for the price who can complain?

hellya

called my supplier in Germany..... I have one already on order ( I will get it when available) ....I will post pictures when it arrives

quarterscalelegends

it says on the site and post that they will be ready at the end of this month. They already have them?!

hellya

I placed an advance order threw a dealer,( sent money ) they are not out yet for consumers....Kamitiro has them, they are just producing more and finishing up tests before they start to sell

so you bad mouth it and then claim you are ordering them. That makes sense.

hellya

Did I bad mouth it I said get the belt wet once....and I asked if it was a ribbed belt

Also stated I thought it was alot more affordable than a the chain 4x4 conversion

Mabey thats why I ordered it to test the system myself[X(] Why you trying to cream my wheeties RC nuts?

I say what I mean and mean what I say....I dont blow smoke up anyones butt

i doesnt seem ribbed on the pictures.. but hey.. i think i've seen some kind of moisture for belts to make them stick better.. maybe also protects from water?:P

Looks intresting, I would like to see it in a Monster set up though

I think belt drive can work fine. My only "complaint" would be the seeming lack of any tensioning system. Seems to me that would be a logical requirement of this kind of set-up.

Apache-

Agree, that is normally seen on such construction. Maybe it will be included and was just not on the picture.

I am against belt drives in general; certainly in off-road but.... this looks like a real nice one! [sm=thumbup.gif]
Maybe it increases the center point of gravity a bit but having the belt in the air keeps it clean and then it will function proper.
I think this might be the solution we all waited for.
To me it looks the best so far and reasonably priced.

I´ll be getting one, definetly!

bribeguy, there seems to be tensioning through the long turn buckles that go from the front bulkhead to the engine. Nice stiffeners also.

It looks pretty cool and still uses only one steering servo. I would like to see some break down pictures of all you get for front and rear.

JRexA

I was planning not to get any more upgrades right now..... But if this kit is becomming available for the Leopard Race, then I NEED one.....

cmar-ireland

I'll be watching this one with interest. A 4x4 FG would be sweet.

StefanL

I especially like the way that Kamitiro use a lot of original FG parts in the kit. Like the standard marder front lower wishbones, and MT upper rear wishbones as upper fronts. Standard diff, and pinions.

I think it is REALLY sweet that ordinary diffs are used, making it possible to switch to an adjustable or self-locking. The 4x4 truck that Kamitiro makes has the chain going over the diff centers.

I´d expect the chassi to be much more rigid with the adjutsing turnbuckles as well.

edit:

I feel this is the year of 4wd...For real! I bet it won´t take long for FG to release a kit now.

RAZR

is this going to be for the leopard buggy too and what about the mt truck?

StefanL

Should work for the MT truck as well, only prob is the body tower that is different from the marder. I am sure it can be worked through...

I´ve been watching the movie and I together with some friends) are discussing exactly how much it is driving those front wheels... I would expect more spinning but ehymaybe it is just a bad movie.

So, first, is the belt cogged or not? And how does it deal with being so close to the exhaust port and the inevitable oil spewing out of there...
