hi ppls
i was planing on getting a storm pro for the price and because i already have spares from my storm.

but know i am leaning towards the k2 or k3.

i was wondering how much better the k3 is than the k2 and if it is worth the money. i now the k3 has lsd in front and rear is this a good thing what is the benifits.

thanks

the kanai 2 and 3 are the same thing. the kanai 3 comes with a milled out chassi and both 20 degree and 22 degree caster's for front and some collor variences. but ass far as everything else its the same. I'm not sure off the diffs though if it comes with reg or tcd's but I always use regs. As far as price there the same price at towerhobbies.com i believer or 50$ diff. If i was going to buy one of the 2 id get a k3 just because of the milled chassi.

If I'm wrong please correct me but this is what i read out of a magazine and from the manuel.

thanks for your help. i think they are 50 dollars different at towers but towers are rip offs.

I think the shocks are a bit longer on the K3 also...

Shocks (bodys and shafts) are 2mm longer and there are about 50% titanium screws to lighten it. As mentioned before the chassis is milled.......Adamshowtime did we miss anything?

I think only the rear shocks are 2mm longer and I think it only comes with one "kanai" diff as opposed to the K2 which comes wiht two. I recently went through this same decision process as I switched form an MBX5 to a Kanai. I decided to got with a K2 b/c it was easier to get and I got a great deal on it. Figured I could upgrade to K3 parts if all the "early adopters" were having success with the K3. Also thought about getting a K3 half way through the season and using the K2 as a back up/parts car.

thanks guys i have decided on a k3 i was also considering the mbx-5 but i thought that i might as well spend the extra money on something that is the best that way i can just upgrade it when i need to.

there is a K2 to K3 upgrade kit available from a few suppliers which hould include all the different parts
the
Kit includes:
New Titanium Screws
New milled out chassis
New 2 mm longer rear shocks
New steering plate
New gold steering turnbuckles
New lexan body supports
New 2.5 rear toe in block (nylon)
New shock tower (top hinge pin is 3mm lower)
New Blue B blocks (to be used with above)
Rear 3 deg anti squat plate
20 deg hub carriers

that seems to be about it

cool
so for 50bucks extra to get the k3 it is worth it.
