And so it begins...
 

And yes, the carbon does appear to be green...

I'm almost a little dissapointed, but the carbon isn't green :( It has a protective film...

I see from the pictures they are still putting the black wheels in. I have stacks of these that I do not use.

So far so good...
 

Straight forward build. No issues with any of the parts :)

What's with the shock caps? I thought they were supposed to have bleed screws? They appear to have the feature there but need drilling through?

So for those that have received their cars, what are their thoughts? How much of an improvement is it over the kf2 ? I guess no one yet has had track time, but just first impressions.

I think this one is a replacement for the SV2 rather than KF2 because it is designed for low grip. KF2 is a high to medium grip car I believe. KC is the replacement for the KF2 I believe:drool:

Looks really great that. Did the trick rear allow hubs come with it?

What size hole needs to be drilled

I have no idea but I assume this is what you have to do to get bleed screw caps. There is no mention of this anywhere.

They have bladders so are not emulsion shock caps. The hole is a vent I believe and as for drilling 😂😂

There doesn't appear to be a through hole. So I'm not sure how they vent. From the outside there appears to be 2 screw holes. They would be pretty redundant if nothing was supposed to go in there.

Not seeing these but it sounds like the early TRF Shock Caps
You had to drill these out as well

I'd imagine that alloy vented shock caps will be released as an option part as the set up sheet mentions sealed, aeration or vented but only sealed or aeration options are included in the kit.

First run...
 

Hi All,

So I didn't race it today but I did give it a run indoors on medium/high grip astro. Obviously it is not intended for this environment however it was actually surprisingly good to drive and the rear end grip was phenomenal. Kit setup + I added a bit of weight to the front (15g under the servo + a shin splitter). The battery is in the forward position of the rear mounting position (i.e next to the front battery posts). My son Matthew ran it after he had TQ'd 4WD in pre-finals practice so I thought I'd video a few laps. Long story short, I only ended up with a couple of laps of video and my Son was still in 4WD mode however I thought I'd share it anyway...


After this I moved the battery posts fully forward but only grabbed a couple of laps in-between finals. You could tell though that the car was ready to have the slipper tightened ;)

Thanks :) No :(

Michal's car appears to be fitted with screws in the caps.....

They look like the alloy ones from previous. The new ones are a plastic cap. probably easy to drill and tap.

asked yesterday, just drill and add the screw, ill find out the hole size

I just drilled mine to 1.6mm. Seems fine.

Seem a bit poor you have to drill the caps. Are they better than the alloy ones ?
