It's also a lot worse then i thought if the car is actually being built in China, are you kidding me? WOW, so this is what it has come to, gotta love free-market capitalism! I wish someone from the team itself or Brad Sweet would get on here and clear things up. Oh well, believe what you want, i guess only time will tell if a car built by some Asian in a sweat shop in China who I guarantee you has no clue as to what he (or she for that matter) is building will stand up to the rigors of sprint car racing. Just remember one thing, ask yourself this, why is it a $1000 cheaper than anything else?
PS, no i don't work for any manufacturer or am impartial to any, we run a 2001 Schuler chassis in our SC car, i also have been aroud racing for 30 years and know a future problem when i see one...

Joe-
You can take this as fact. KKR has been running Maxims all year. The car they crashed at Oskaloosa was left there, after they cut it apart to disassemble it quicker. The car actually held up fairly well for such a violent crash, but everyone is correct when they say that some Maxims have not held up so well at times this season. Perhaps you confused the Maxim sticker, which is centered around a large 'X' in the middle...? Also, KKR does not run
any Triple X components. Have a good day...
