Hi

How come Schumacher have not just released a complete low grip KF kit to replace the SV2 or is this grip level getting a little to specialised.

Where does the line stop or will we be seeing kits for "hardly any grip", "low to medium grip", "quite a lot of grip", "high grip", "absolutely mega high you have never seen before grip" conversions available shortly.

"Wanting to use you Cougar KF all year round now becomes possible with this low grip conversion set"

Mind you having a few more ace looking Schumacher cars on the shelf, now they are switching over to the all black scheme is something to enjoy.

regards

I get the feeling Schumacher are still finding out about the KF chassis and are possibly surprised at the cars popularity and how quick it can be driven in conditions it shouldn't be able to.
Perhaps this will spell the end of the SV chassis as it doesn't make sense to have three 2wd cars in the line up when the KF can handle mid to high grip and the KR for low grip. Perhaps there will be an updated KF coming out later on this year or next with the new type chassis so that owners can change the car to how they want.

I agree with you, hence the reason why Schumacher haven't released a new SV2 inline with the rest of there new "black themed" car.

I've just bought a KF myself to use all year around so might try out this new conversion once I've driven the buggy stock.

Has anyone got any more feedback on this low grip conversion? I'm interested to hear how it is going on grass?

I'm just about to build one - I only ever race on astro but happy to do a back to back comparison with the standard kf if people want once it's built?
