Do you run on high grip carpet?

Todays practice it was on medium/low grip carpet. Race next weekend will be on two different types of carpet. One of them is high grip and other one simular as today. So it will be exciting to find a good setup.

I run on med/low grip carpet and just trying to get a good base set-up

I'm looking forward to running this Thursday. It's been a while since I last used a schumacher buggy.

Looks stunning Dazza.

Thanks unfortunately I can't take credit for the paint work

Did someone say pictures of KC?
 

Sorry, can't help it. Here's mine. Waiting to find a race..

A few of the KCs at our club have a fan mounted above the motor using some spare lexan, simple and effective:

Are you finding a consensus on which layout is working or down to individual driving style?

I've found the setups posted on the Schumacher site perfect.
For Astro - Tom Yardys Telford setup. Pos4

Carpet - Orlowski Trencin setup. Pos2

I tried to play around with those setups as a Base.... and always ended up back at them. Very very good.

I've just been looking for the kc to kd conversion kit and I can't find much info on it. Is it out yet ? I'm not saying I'm going to buy it I'm just interested to see a few pics.

U7137 Cougar KC to KD conversion Kit - Cougar KC

all i can say is it has all the needed parts, currently out of stock

Just put my order in for a KC, has anyone found any must have upgrades?

Extras
 

On both cars I changed the spur to an 80 but that's about it

Cool, thanks Chris. I've ordered the KC-KD conversation but no idea what's in it. Anyone know if the KD ball diff can be converted to a KC ball diff with the pulley below?

Yep, I'm tight but that's £50 i can be using for. Carbon chassis!

Carbon chassis, car feels so much better along with using alloy side rails than using the alloy chassis, just give that bit flex needed, but depends what surface your racing on really, i race mainly on high grip EOS carpet and find the carbon chassis better

Tat for that. I will be running on sandy astro.

KC / KD
 

Hi there, As the KC has been out a while, how are people getting in the the lack of side supports for the body shell and a method of keeping the dirt and water out if run on wet Astro, this post is for the KC and the KD as they share the same chassis.

I drive out side on Astro so am very interested in the KC on wet Astro, running two cars is not part of my plan if possible.

Cheers

I use velcro strip along the chassis/stiffeners, but i don't run on sandy astro.

dazza1, as attached, this is pretty much the kit. A complete gearbox (with slipper) and body shell. You also get thread lock and shock oil and greases for the gearbox/diff.

I thought that there would be springs and pistons as they are different between KC/KD.

It's cheaper that a whole new car and if you add to the KC, you have Mid, laydown and all the fwd options covered. Apart from motor rewire, i don't think it would take long to swap over from KC layout 4 to KD. Eight screws and motor fit.
