if just one car, kf or sv2?

[TARTMAN]

The KF seems to go great in the soggy stuff at the local track. I had an SV2 for ages and never had any issues with jumping, ever, actually jumped amazingly well. I would go for the KF personally it seems to be going great, if there your only choices.

what setup were you using for wet and damp ?

I have just recently bought a KF and I personally think it is a good car that suits my driving style.

out the box it is very twitchy but with a few small tweaks can be dialled down,

I think Mossy / Tom and the guys at Schumacher have produced a car that will be competitive in a variety of conditions, with the right setup. its a new car and KF drivers will be playing with setups for quite some time yet,
places such as storm valley are good for getting a loose setup

all I can really say is time will tell

Jus get both ;-) helpful arent i lol

Try both bud if you can c what suits U!! And ur style.

We have plenty in our region to try if they will b kind.

Sorry to hijack this thread but i have a question about parts on both cars.
What do i have do to fit the KF's rear shock tower guard on my sv2? Will i need to buy the KF shock towers or will they fit the stock sv2 towers?

after running my KF for the first time outdoors at Mendip on Sunday which was very wet first thing and drying off to damp in the afternoon I'd say if you can afford the various upgardes you need to replicate Tom C's wet/damp setup i.e alloy rear upper trans housing, ball diff, bleeder shock caps etc then go for the KF, I'm a decent level club driver (usually comfortably mid table) and I qualified and finished 4th so very pleased with how the car went in conditions that it is not supposed to be well suited to

They don't fit if shocks are on front of tower, sv2 on rear of tower

Thanks for the reply. So what you're saying is that if my shocks are rear of the tower, then the guards will fit?

[jonathan may]

no the guards don't fit if shocks are rear mounted

This guy managed to get it to work and i'm hoping to do the same.

I've got a KF with the shocks fitted to the rear and the protectors fit no problem.

But are the shocks not protected by the wing when mounted at the rear and behind the shock tower? If so what are the shock protectors protecting when shocks at the rear?

The shock tower, if you crack the tower does not dig in and break.

I've busted 2 shock towers on my sv2 already... So expensive... The guards will help with the longevity of the towers, hopefully. If not then i'll either have to improve my driving in a hurry or cut out pieces of the towers from G10 fibreglass sheets.
