Yes, I would consider the KP10 to be newer than the Superblade, and Fred's KP10 is well sorted.
Although the KP10 is an old chassis, Fred has updated the clutch to be like the RG,
moving the main gear inboard, giving more clearance. It also has belt drive.
I also expect the Picco motor will be more powerfull than the Superblade's Kyosho go kart motor
First bike for me with two brakes, so will have to get used to mixing the front brake.
I am fitting my radio gear and will be able to have a test run soon.
I plan to be running in the Nitro class next season, Steve are you interested in the "senior mechanic" position ?
