I was never tempted by the Cougar, but I like the look of this a lot.

Looks so good!!!

ron63 06-11-2013 02:15 PM

Looks good, but i'm wondering how would it be possible to run a Shorty Pack instead of Saddles?
I watched the Instruction Manual and there isn't mentioned to run Shorty Lipos....? :confused:

Paul Field 06-11-2013 02:33 PM

Pictures of the shorty version can be found here.

It shows the conversion in the option parts section at the back if the manual.

Is there a slim front wheel available for low profile cut staggers, also is there any way of fitting rear pin/front bearing wheels?

gixxer 07-11-2013 07:19 AM

What are the front tires on the car in post #3 they don't look like cut staggers or normal staggers
or should I go to specsavers

Mike2222 07-11-2013 08:00 AM

They are Proline tyres which are the control tyres at the EOS series.

Still the proline control tyre...

MattW 07-11-2013 12:45 PM

Running old wheels should be no issue - on the rear you'd need the cone spacer and pin from the SV/SX series and on the front, you'd need the SV/SV2 steering block and axle. I think! I need to do this later, so I'll post back here if there is anything specific that you need to do.

SHY 07-11-2013 12:48 PM

Shit! There's just so much going on with 1:10 OR cars these days! Hard to keep up! :D

CARB 07-11-2013 05:16 PM

Hi
I have converted my SV2 to the hex system and the front parts taken off were steering hubs, wheel bearings, stub axels plus the four 3mm dome head cap screws.

FrogPrince82 07-11-2013 05:49 PM

Just a thought about the KF's versatility on other surfaces.............

Batteries are normally heavier than motors, plus with the extra drive train mechanics, there is a good chance that this car could be as effective as the SV2 on medium-medium low grip surfaces, because the battery and motor are the other way round wouldn't there be more weight on the rear??? Or am I over simplifying it?

mrspeedy 07-11-2013 06:50 PM

Personally I reckon Schumacher have hit the nail on the head with this layout. And like you say, good rear weight bias should help on lower grip tracks ... plus you have a contra rotating gearbox for even better rear traction ... add to that a body that won't frighten young children and a horizontally split gearbox :woot: gotta be winner :thumbsup:

Kurtje 13-11-2013 03:01 PM

When will it be thereeeeeeeeee :D :)

Looking good! But those shock towers look different? Is there like a plastic protector you CAN mount on top if you wish?

Kurtje 17-11-2013 11:12 PM

Yes idd there some protectors that you can mount and spray in the color you want.

SHY 17-11-2013 11:37 PM

Looks MUCH better without those! :thumbsup: Very cool car!

Juicy74 18-11-2013 02:03 PM

Damn that car looks fast just sitting there
