I bought the KF when it first came out, and I have to admit I love the car. I then purchased the low grip conversion and borrowed some shorty lipos off a mate. I ran the setup for two races and hated it!
For the car to feel better I needed to buy extra weights for the rear, heavier and more expensive batteries and few other little bits. Needless to say I converted it back to its standard setup and sold the conversion kit after only running it for ten min.
If you are prepared to spend the extra cash then the low grip conversion would be a great set up. The reason I am not willing to spend any more money on it is because all my cars run saddle packs, SX3, K1, SV2, Mi4CXL and my KF so why would I want to convert my KF and buy even more Lipos to just run for 5 months out doors? Plus all the extra parts required to get it to run well.
My advice to anybody wanting a great Schumacher 2WD all round car that's great out of the box, then buy the SV2. But if you race mostly high grip then no contest buy the KF.
