KPD stands for Keith price designs.He done a good few hop up parts for various RC models.I had a set of his hydros and needed a new master cylinder.I got in touch with him and he has to be one of the nicest guys I have spoke to.Unfortunatly I cannot find his addy or number.
If you Google down the lines of rc motorbikes you may find him there as he was going off the cars and concerntrating on the bike side.
Good kuck.

Keith Plested designs Did make parts for largescale cars (mostly FG for King cobra) but now only does bikes. The patriot is what you could call an FG Leopard race all alloy clone using basic parts like the chassis, shell, roll cage and tank. They were good but expensive and nobody has raced one since 2005 ish, maybe earlier.

+1 mike.......

keith plested started off as mr PB racing back in the early 8o's

PB as in pure blend fuels as they where 1/8th scale makers

with the PB Nova and a couple of off roaders

then went bust ....i was told that there was a skip load of there parts

just junked in there yard when it closed

there was part of one for sale on ebay yesterday ...not there now

rossendale mods still have the red uprights/hubs for sale

and a couple of me models have KPD parts including the patriot bits

it was called the patriot because of the colour sceme red/blue/silver

thats if your into patriotic things LOL
