The K3 is the successor of the G3 Sinister Saint
The only aim of this project was to build a really fast trike. So yes, this is my fastest car and after some Google-ing, figured I owned, potentially, the fastest RC trike in the world. It can easily do over a 100kmph on 4S, given, I iron out all existing linkage issues plaguing in the front end and gather some nuts to run it that fast.

Most parts are custom designed and produced. I will be replacing off-the-shelf parts with custom machined/3D printed parts to optimize the design further.

Current setup:
Turnigy XK-3650 3650KV Sensored 540 motor
Turnigy 60A V2 ESC
16g servo
Rhino 3S 2200
Running weight 1-1.2kg

Started this project pretty much a year ago, but effectively, it's a 2 month build really.

Looks good, can we expect monster truck tires on next version  ;). why not use csk screw on the bottom !
Today might be a great and wonderful day. It depends on you.

AnjanBabu

Iyer sir, yes. Very less jugaad this time.
I will be making multiple body shells, BRG will be one. ;D

Aniket, all I need is a crawler to chase Dhruva.  :giggle:


sahilkit, I'm not into off-road cars so much, I'm gonna try though.
I didn't have CSK screws back then, it's a early assembly picture, now all replaced.

Tanmay, Thanks! It's a reverse trike, so two wheels front and one on the rear.

Jabardast !!! Built  ( Fantabulous --> Jabardast)

are the gears ( Black) worn out or its meant for friction drive....

AnjanBabu

rastsaurabh, the gear in the picture is worn out.
I'm not able to find a pinion that meshes well with the spur, so the spur get chewed up pretty quick.
