Ayk Pro Radiant

[Ayk Viper]

I thought I would explain my Mike Dunn question here rather than hijack the Dunn QA thread.

There are a huge number of Boost shelled Pro Radiants on the internet, even stickered with Pro Radiant decals.

InetRC suggests that the Boost shell was standard on the Pro:

Woober Goober's TC page has a Steve Dunn Boost bodied but Pro stickers are on the tail:

Spike's Pro Radiant stickered Boost shelled car:

I had come to the conclusion they changed bodies as Race Prep would buy what Ayk were producing at the time. I realise people might buy new bodies but there are more Boost bodied Pros on the internet than Boxart Pros...Weird.

I know on this thats for sure, the Pro Radiant shell does not fit well with the sadle pack chassis plate. The pro Radiant never came with the saddle pack chassis by the way.

You are correct. The Pro Radiant body did not work with the saddle pack conversion. Perhaps that explains why the different bodies on the ones pictured. I know we ran a different body, but just can't remember which one. To be honest, I never liked how the car drove with the saddle pack conversion so I didn't put much effort into it in that configuration. I realize I'm probably the only one who didn't like it, but the twin vertical beam frame set up worked perfectly for me.

As for the other thread; if you have a question or need clarification on one that's been asked and answered, please post it! I know I don't mind and I am sure Mike doesn't either. It's better to ask than forever wonder.
