Schumacher KF

[buggy#0]

Generally, they have less initial bite compared to cuts, and they're a bit more consistent.

Very nice there chap. One question. I see you have the vented caps, what it the advantage of those I've the kit bladder type caps?

[JustARcFan]

Thx!

I find that with the vented caps it's easier to built all the shocks more consistent.

Cheers

trying to find some vented caps cant find 2 pair in stock anywere

[mark christopher]

Tried mbmodels?

[jonathan may]

nice Schumacher have them back in stock along with the alu rear blocks

[jonathan may]

does any one now how much droop the guys are running on the front and rear on mine near full drop the driveshafts are very close to coming out

I tried the high inertia side gears U3861 and U3866 on wet greasy astro and found this helped with rear traction.
For a 8.5 motor I went with 71t spur and 27t pinion, motor was cool all day but still bad plenty of speed.

ok so Im currently torn between an SV2 and the KF

I simply love the way the KF looks, am I reading it right that people are getting it to work on what they class as low grip tracks? ie with ball diff and setup changes?

I intend to race at 2 local tracks, one all astro but a bit sandy, other is mix astro and dirt.

[jonathan may]

hi tony I will be racing on the same tracks as you I think it will be fine on those tracks run a brass spine weight run the shocks on the rear and short wheel base and ball diff

[CARB]

hi
Go for it Tony you can alway get a SV2 or K1 Aero at a later date, be interested to see the KF in your hands, off road is so much more fun than large scale every was, take it from me Ken would not go back there either.

Oh yes sir!!!

[tonydevon]

ok well I guess thats decided it then LOL

I had been looking at 2nd hand hopped up SV2's, yokomos and losi, the idea being that as they were on average at least 140 quid cheaper, that money would buy me motor and ESC at least.

but I just know that I would be sat looking at any KF's I saw and wishing...

I cant wait to get out on the track, was watching the racing last weekend and thumbs were twitching LOL.

I miss the days of largescale but not the huge bills and the travelling that I did, I was looking for regular fun cheapish racing and looks like I have found it
