I guess its nice to have a wishlist so here is mine but first of all i just wanna be clear that i am not bitching about the car nor the company. I state my observation.
I has always been a long time dream to own a schumacher when i 1st saw one some 25+ yrs ago but could not afford it and now that i can, i choose to race it even though there is absolutely zero support for the brand where i'm from so i buy 2 cars, one for spares. The stuff is pricey and the quality is ok. Would be nice if the prices came down abit.... Yokomo's quality is top notch n quite abit cheaper too. Regardless, i dont see myself changing cars anytime soon cause i really like the sv2. Anyways... Here goes...
1. Composite bucket chassis so i can do away with the undertray (used to love it cause its so old school but now that i am a proud owner of an sv2, the undertray and the rear bumper are additional running cost). Also, with a composite chassis, the chassis is either straight or its broken, its never warped or bent. Then again, it may not drive as well as it does with a composite. I dunno... Probably has some research into it and thats why schumacher went with an alloy chassis.
2. Ball cups like the Mi5 where you can unscrew the cup and ball link off so you dont always have to pop is out when you need to do somethg. I think it loosens everytime you pop it. I know you can swop it for the Mi5 cups but it would be nice to have them in the kit.
3. Well... The shocks seem to be abit of a touchy subject but to be honest... The shocks do feel like a lesser quality than say yokomo. I've had a bmax2mr and the shocks are very good... Do not leak outta the box and very plush. With the sv2, you need to buy the upgraded rings or use another brand which i have had alot of success with. Also, i thk because of the recessed slot fothe the pistons to sit on the e-clip, the pistons rest flat on the bottom of the shock when fully extended and creates a suction resulting in an initial resistance to movement. I know quite afew guys have put in a thin washer to prevent this. I agree the shock coating has room for improvement. Having said all that, the shocks perform as they should and the car is a very very good drive.
Thats it!! Please dont flame me
