The Patriot has been developed from experience racing the Marder and Leopard off road cars. Many of the minor parts are standard FG. The main features available are as follows:

• New stiffer chassis with high kick up front end.

• Increased suspension movement.

• Better damping. Long stroke shockers all round.

• Improved adjustable anti roll bars.

• Alloy wishbones all round.

• Fixed 3 degree toe in on rear wishbones.

• Pivot pins with replaceable bushes.

• Hydraulic brakes all round.

• Alloy radio plate with accommodation for the hydraulics

• Alloy wheel drivers for the rear wheels.

• Alloy wheel uprights.

• Improved suspension geometry

• Low centre of gravity.

• Complete cars can be built to various specifications - discuss with King Cobra Racing.

 In order to reduce cost we are introducing basic kits of all the relevant parts to convert an existing FG car, as follows:

• KPD300a - Rear end kit. This kit supplies the lower rear wishbones, pivot pins and new shocker tower to make a complete working rear end using existing parts from an existing car. Will fit on the standard FG chassis or the new KPD one. Note This unit is not compatible with the standard FG transmission brake.

• KPD300b - Front end kit with new chassis. This kit supplies the new chassis, all the front wishbones with inserted rose joints, pivot pins shocker tower and top plate and 4mm anti roll bar set to make a complete working front end using existing parts from an existing car.

• KPD300c - Front end kit with new chassis. This kit supplies the new chassis, all the front wishbones tapped for FG ball joints, pivot pins shocker tower and top plate and 4mm anti roll bar set to make a complete working front end using existing parts from an existing car.

• KPD306 - Optional anti roll bar for rear end.

• Standard KPD parts such as KPD011 hydraulic brakes, KPD102 -105 alloy radio plates, KPD094 alloy wheel uprights, and KPD110 alloy wheel spiders, are recommended.

• KPD319 - Special rear springs - set of various grades.

• Note that the pictures show the car with all available options fitted.

The car can be fitted with the new Mk2 brakes which have greater wheel clearance, a quicker action and more delicate touch. They give perfect balance side to side and have awesome stopping power.

The chassis is made from high grade 4mm alloy, with edges deep formed to 45 degree for increase stiffness, and a steep kick up angle for the front suspension. Pivot pins are minimum length and made of stainless steel running in replaceable bushes.

 Alloy wheel drivers (KPD110) to prevent rounding of wheel centres fitted to rear wheels. These adaptors can only be used with the offset wheels and wheel drivers squares of 14mm length or greater.

.Rear suspension runs on solid stainless steel pivot pins running in replaceable bushes fitted in machined from solid alloy bar diff riser.
