New Conversion Kit for Tamiya DF-03 Dark Impact
A big chassis from KM-RC.com
 I saw it on this web link!! It's attractive enough to buy~ Dark Impact Conversion Kit - High Quality KCI Graphite Chassis - Shorter Linkage between the Steering part and the servo - Structure weight redistributed with saddle packed battery

yea it does look nice, the cells look nice and close together to keep it narrow. the last time I saw it all the alloy was silver, I guess this is the finished item ?!?
Looks ace, I hope the servo fits under the newer shells like the Keen Hawk, I guess it should. Last edited by jimmy; 10-11-2006 at 03:40 AM.

This is the KMC conversion, that moves the cells from central to 3+3 arrangement, plus it moves the servo much further forward, although I do think the servo will fit, what put me off this conversion is the fact that the weight distribution and component placement has changed, and the one reason people like the DF-03 was the component placement and weight.
But I am sure Jimmy would be willing to test it, if not, I would!!!

I quite fancy this conversion myself, was considering buying a DI and seeing this, has made my mind up. Just concerned about the steering servo fitment with the stock shell, would any other shell fit???
Is the conversion release date, 15th November, a confirmed realease date?

I saw this conversion at a hobby show many months ago, I think it had SSG carbon chassis and didn't look anywhere near as nice as this. I was also looking at it last week and all the alloy was raw and not anodised, these photos must be very recent because afaik they weren't there last week.
The weight move isn't a big issue for me - and might even be better since the weight is more centralised (front to back) so might turn quicker, it looks great. I'm sure they tested the servo placement with the Impact shell but a shell like the Keen Hawk might be a little different up front. We'll have to see.
