Vote seriously, GD.COM decides this one!

I think I wanna build one of King Sand Cars New "Kit Cars". They look Bad Azz!

Doing a rally car style slalom course through the pucker bush has to be worth the admission price alone.

And the Dune rides have to be a flippin hoot!!

Recently King Sand Cars has released a "Kit Car".

You buy a chassis kit that comes welded, tabbed, powder coated, wired etc etc.

All you have to do is start bolting parts on this car. All parts come as "kits" or "assemblies" that includes everything including the hardware.

The axle and CV kits come assembled and even inside greased. Grease the outside,(with supplied grease) bolt on car. Done.

Radiator kit come pre assembled, plumbed and with all clamps and nut, bolts etc.

Steering comes as a whole system. Just bolt it all on. A smart Monkey with a crescent wrench could assemble this whole car.

KSC has never done chassis kits because they wanted ALL KSC's to look Bad Azz. They now offer a car that you cant wire wrong, plumb wrong, assemble wrong etc etc.

Below is some pics, links and descriptions from KSC Ebay site. Where you can also buy said "kits" and "kit part systems".

I cant get the pics to download so you'll have to click the Ebay link and there is the pics.

King Sand Car Kit!

Assemble Your Own Car and Save!

KSC has never offered thier car in kit form. We are now offering a kit car that is powdercoated and wired to make assembly easy. The car comes powdercoated in the color of your choice and completely wired including Line-X floorpan installed, taillights wired, switches, gauges, sending units, battery, fan relay, Hayabusa modified engine wiring harness installed, whip mount wired and installed. This car is ready to bolt parts on! The kit includes FRONT AND REAR ARMS AND SPINDLES powdercoated. The body is mounted and includes a roof, a dash and a hood just as you see it in the pictures. We supply all the additional parts to finish the car in "kits" or groups of parts that are commonly installed as a system, like the steering system for example. The steering system would include all the parts, nuts, bolts, etc. to complete that entire system. The cost of building the car can be spread over several months or be a summer project. The car is completely tabbed and ready for all addition parts to be installed. You get the car EXACTLY the way we have assembled all 72 cars with all the latest and greatest KSC features. It all fits and it's all there. This is how you get a genuine KSC past the kitchen! The initial investment is cheaper than a Rhino or RZR. When you finish you have the pride of building the car and a true performance top of the line sand car.

ONLY A HAYABUSA FITS OUR CHASSIS

THIS IS NOT A UNIVERSAL CHASSIS

IT ONLY COMES POWDERCOATED & WIRED

NO BARE CHASSIS SOLD

NO NON-WIRED CHASSIS SOLD

THIS IS HOW WE DO IT

WE HAVE THE PARTS AND THEY FIT

I would wait and check out the new Off Road car they are about to come out with. Maybe I will work a deal-E-O out for you on my car. You never know.

Well, that leaves me out - thanks for shattering my build dreams.

Do it they are fun cars and there crazy trains are cool

Dude might wanna try some ..... This one still gets my vote..

That's AWESOME!!!! Only a true friend would take the time to do that!! My skills would be the same. Good thing we are good at what we do for a living!

Crack wont help me

I deff woulda bought one of these if they were available when i was shopping. KSC was my first choice for size/fun. Couldent afford turnkey though so that combined with no kits and no financing i looked elseware...

i think you should save your money, building and selling cars isnt exactly lucrative right now

How about build it and drive it?!!?


WIDE OPEN

Funny thing......a LOT of people are voting for "OB's threads suck.....find a new website".

Yet they had to click on my thread and read all the choices to vote.

Might as well build one...



Your working your way through the sand car alphabet anyway...

Build it so I can drive it and decide if I want to build one. Or I could buy yours as soon as you finish it

This would be a keeper car. It would be loaded and in my trailer heading for Glamis about 3 minutes after it was finished building it.

I wanna DRIVE this biatch!!!

Is it on order yet ???? you could have it build and in the sand before prez weekend

You KNOW you're gonna build one the minute you come over to see my chassis kit!!!

Or.....I could sell you my SCU with it's matching "Mini Me" for 90K that way I could continue my journey through the buggy alphabet

I just got a text from a buddy who REALLY likes this car. I'm gonna talk him into spending some money

You know who you are.......

Funco?

Anybody who is interested....King Sand Cars has a forum website that is exactly like GD.COM. Check it out....

http://www.kingsandcars.com/board/index.php?

And the regular website with lots of pics and videos.

'Have caution watching the videos. You've been warned. I don't want no hate mail from angry 's saying that OB made me buy a KSC!!

http://www.kingsandcars.com/1home.html

I like these little cars. But just slightly bigger...

Think about the benefits: build one with a subaru, megasquirt computer, 091. Replacement stock JDM motor $500. Spare trans $2500-less if just rebuilding and not keepinf a spare ready. Once built, you could keep a spare trans and motor in the garage ( or the trailer for longer trips), drive the effin crap out of it. If it breaks, so what- simple fixes, cheap VW parts. Small enough to fit his and hers in a standard trailer- no stacker required.

All for the price of a long travel.

Now if I could just get Don to build one...

No. Right now, I want a Busa buggy. I already have a "Big" car. I can haul this to G along with my big car and have both there as opposed to pick and choose.

3K gets me a whole new motor AND tranny. If I blow up either, grab the one out of the cabinet under the sink, 30 minutes later you are duning.

6 weeks build time for the chassis kit. As soon as the big green car puts green in my pocket......I'm free to run a muck.

The MB should be gone by the weekend.

I looked at the site, but I can't see what a total price would be. Do they do a complete turn key assemble your own kit? Any idea on the price?

See, thats what Im talking about... $500 can get you a JDM- may be all you need once you have the computer and depending on what you blow up...

I would love to have a second car for just me going or 1 other person. I would ride in a King, Tom Pro, and the Taz car before deciding. The Taz is the ecotec though not the busa and it has the cvt with no shifting. I would even consider making it a single seater. I dont think you can go wrong with a second car if you can afford it. Do it!!

Good question. I'm waiting for that exact # as we speak. A 100% complete "buggy in a box"......assemble yourself kit.

I really like this car too!.........Hey wait, that's my car!

OB should take Meds instead. (Keep in mind I get drousy and very boring)

Voted..


I honestly fear seeing a thread one day that says "im effin broke and homeless"..
Be careful in this economy bruddah..

I know you don't listen, so I do look forward to your build..

All my toys are my "sicko style piggy bank" that I choose to float around and play with. I do so knowing that there could come a day that I have to cash out my "piggy bank" and at that point I would have a couple hundred G's to put back in my piggy overnight doing silly chit like selling SCU's for 40K and down the list I go......

Good lookin out though bro!!

You're a member!! I'm getting very excited!!

So $10,000 for everything you talked about? I'm wondering how much it would be for a finished car. Like if you buy that kit what else do you need? I see you need motor and tranny. I say go for it though.

The "kit" car is a very economical way to get a KSC and you can build it over time to spread out the build cost.

The chassis kit is a excellent bargain.

Fully welded and tabbed chassis.
Full aluminum work, side panels, roof, dash, hood, wing trunk, firewall
fully wired with gauges, battery, relays, modified Busa wire harness all already installed
powder coated everything
full floors w Rhino lining
cooler and mount
front and rear arms with spindles w/ heim joints and tie rod links all powder coated
Plus more for $9950.00

Where can you beat that??

Just curious - have you ridden in or driven a King? I've never heard a bad thing about them (I think they are BA, and I'm still waiting for a ride in one), but you may want to check out how they feel before building one. Also, consider that you aren't going to be able to register it in CA.

If this is going to be a piggy bank, I wouldn't build a mini..
I could be very wrong but I really don't see a market for them. (at least in the 25-30k range, where it's looking where your build is headed)
I'll leave ya alone now...

I think you might also want to consider the Predator X-18. That is a full on long travel dual sport 2 seater that can handle the dunes and the Dez just like you prefer. Best of all it's OTD for under 20k ready to drive. No assembly required.

The mini buggy is but 1 coin out of 10 in my "piggy bank".

Ojeda just sold his on here for like 27K in a matter of a week.

The New style KSC w/ the full body is VERY sell-able. Holds value like a Funco....

Negative Ghostrider.

The X-18 will not fit in my trailer with my big car like a KSC will. They are slow. They are chinese. They are not 20K. I WANT to build it. It wont do anything like my big car. It wont do anything like a KSC. They are Chinese. I would have to take to vehicles to the Dez instead of one.

I would do a Funco 2 seat Hustler if I wanted to deal with the logistical nightmare of getting 2 big buggies to the Dez.

Never even sat in one. I'll give you a ride in mine. It will be a "special construction" unless the CARB is done by then. All the Busa buggy guys are working on the CARB thing.

My opinion was made earlier

OB those X-18 cars are badazz.. They race SCORE with them.. You keep saying you want a good hard pack car, thats your ticket if it would fit in your trailer

At this moment in time I do not have the budget For that.

Time to take the meds - I have not heard the predator was made in China. Are you sure we are talking about the same car? They are also made well enough to finish Baja. Anway, OB, have you not heard the saying - Once you go Asian, you never go caucasian. LOL

I want a little dune shredder right now. X-18 is too big. Watch the videos of KSC's dicing it up in the pucker bush's. That what I want.

I think there more money than you might think to complete this kit. I would just keep the Mosebuilt for the price

Not taking the meds. Nope....wont do it.

My big forklift would finish Baja if I drove slow enough.....

I feel like I'm following you OB, I want a Funco down the rode but I don't have the money to drop on that at my age. A KSC would be perfect. I look on ebay at their store and if you add hubs, exhaust, radiator, gear box and chain, and someother stuff including the chassis it was about $15,000. From there all it needs is seats, motor, suspension and tires. So hopefully under $20k but I'm doubtful. If you happen to get a actually price PM me and let me know or something. I want to build something just as you do but i want to be able to keep up with the big rails that I dune with. Mine probably won't get started til summer so as long as these kits stay available I would also highly consider this. I wish i had your pain though. Buggy after buggy. That would be sweet.

A budget is a budget...yeah yeah we've heard that before

My buddy's dad has a KSC. We took it out for a day run and I got alot of seat time that day. I'm a pretty big boy, 6'3" 225lbs and I felt very comfortable in it. Alot more comfortable than I expected to be. The car handles on rails in the dunes, but around camp with that live axle it's turns like a tank. You also have to do a little planning when parking without a reverse box. Only thing that I didn't like about the car as compared to a big car is that with the light front end, it had a tendency to grab tracks and wander a bit out on sand highway. But in the dunes... you can't beat it. So small and flickable, and just awesome to drive. Ultimately, I'd like to get rid of my big car and get 2 mini's, KSC style. One for me and one for my lady.

I can just picture him sitting at his computer thinking to himself

"Oh yeah, wondering aimlessly again.."
