Schumacher
(http://www.oople.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=46)
The below is my highly modified Storm 2000 released around 1992/93, this was probably Schumacher's last racing Stadium Truck! With the Storm 2000 you could have it Nitro or electric :thumbsup:

Thinking of building a truck ont of a KF2 that I have extra. Is there any other brand of wishbones that can fit KF2? Anyone now dimensions of rc10t5 arms?
|
kyosho rt5 or 6 arms and driveshafts should work..front axles too

i believe they should be fine..i did use hpi driveshafts(firestorm i believe) on my svr stadium truck...losi use to use the bigger ball on their driveshafts
|
I imagine short course arms/driveshafts would be easier to source to convert a KF2 to a stadium truck? What about some of the real cheap Team C/Ansmanns or even the Hobbyking shortcourse truck as a donor?
The stadium parts don't seem all that easy to find! |
Just use the TeamC TC02T/Hyde... or Ansmann Macnum bones, shafts etc...
Loads on eBay cheap and worked well on my KF ST.... see first post... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Team-C...wAAOSw0vBUY3GL http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Team-C-Hyd...wAAOxy0QtR-8-4 Bit expensive trying to use Kyosho parts! Oh and a ball diff helps take the strain off the belt... I have one for sale if anyone needs one :) |
How difficult to do were the mods Adam? I might be interested in doing this conversion.

So its a matter of drilling the wishbone inner hinge pin holes to match the Schumacher pin diameter, and spacing to fit the bulkhead gaps. I am guessing longer turnbuckles will be required, what about the outer hinge pins, bearings, front axles, rear hexes to match the driveshafts? Any brand of wheels you would recommend, along with a bodyshell?
Cheers :thumbsup: |
This is way too tempting! Always loved stadium trucks, someone delete this thread before I empty my wallet on a 2nd KF2 :p
Other than your 2x links there, anyone else looking to convert will also need longer turnbuckles and then what wheels and bodyshell have you used Adam? EDIT: Just realised I asked the same thing as Stuey. If bearings, wheels etc are needed then perhaps a complete donor is worth while? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1614340712...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT |
Mine was a complete TCO2T, so basically used the complete corners with links/hubs etc..
Could have used the KF hubs etc, but had the team C bits all built up... Same for the wheels and shell, although any ST wheels would be ok and I am sure there are better shells. I would say the complete donor kit would be the cheapest option.. |

At the diff output side, what is the diameter of the Team C/Ansman driveshaft cross pin and ball? |

Is there greater play with these driveshafts in the diff outputs than with the stock Schumacher driveshafts? Also, is the diameter of the cross pin 2.5mm like the Schumacher driveshaft or is it thinner (e.g. 2.0mm)? |
Be careful of the belt if using a gear diff or a tight slipper..
I ended up with a ball diff and ran the slipper a tiny bit looser then normal. |
