Schumacher Cougar KF/M?

[tintinontour]

Looking at 2wd options at the moment and I do like the Cougar KF. Currently racing on high grip tracks indoor, but if as the outdoor season gets underway, I can see I will need to shell out for low grip conversion and a shorty conversion kit.

So, my question(s): do Schumacher plan to bring out a kit with both these additional packs as standard? Also, can I get a discount if Schumacher use the name KF/M?! 👍

I doubt the people that really know would post details on here...

If you buy the LG conversion you don't need the shorty conversion as it does both..

I'm also interested in a kf but wondering how they work on wet grass/ astro with the low grip chassis conversion I currently run a rb6 and wonder If it would be as good as that outdoors?

The KF is an amazing car on low grip and High grip,

However to get the car to work on Low Grip you have to spend quite a bit of money on the car,

Low grip conversion £80
Brass weights £??
Shorty Lipos' £100 for two shorties

Or just buy an SV2 which runs out the box on low and high grip very well.

was also interested in the KF but picked up a used SV2 and SVR pair for much less......

Callum,

I've just switched from RB6 to KF and can confirm the car is amazing in low grip conditions (with low grip kit fitted). I knew the car would be great on high grip but for sure I'm quicker with the KF in the wet than I was with the RB6 which did surprise me as I always thought the RB6 was the best low grip car on the market.

Regards,
James.

I can also confirm that the KF with low grip chassis works very well in both low and high grip scenarios.

Some evidence of this was just last Thursday at Surrey & Hants - due to the numbers I got placed in the 4wd heat against 4 XRAY XB4s (2013, 2014 and 2 2015s) all set up for the wet.

One heat I was happily keeping them all at bay for the majority of the race until I messed up big time.

Now considering I was runing a 7.5 and some of those were running 5.5s I think it can handle itself

Thanks for the help think i may have to keep my eye out for one! Got to sell the rb6 first!

Looks like a fun project. Given that I would have to buy an sx3 and an sv2, and some a few hours with the dremel, I don't think I'd consider this as an option. I'm edging towards an sv2 👍

i think i need to reword the original post.
The km is an sv2 with an extended chassis to kf dimensions, using kf side pods and body.
