Sounds like they should have delayed it's release longer

What a load of rubbish.. how do you know what tolerance is on the drawing for either part?!!

The eccentrics for the Laydown are the same part as for the KC, U7068, for clarity's sake.
Shimming and eliminating play are a normal part of car prep. I shim the steering and hub carriers on the cougar, the diffs have shims in them..etc. If the eccentrics were a press-fit into the gearbox some would come out too tight (unavoidable tolerance differences in manufacturing injection moulded parts?). It took all of about 2 mins to eliminate the movement on mine. Not a big deal. I'd rather shim and pack them so there's no rubbing to cause wear and develop slop. To get that type of fit without taking that step may not be achievable without machined parts, and even then tolerances exist in manufacturing as tools wear etc. |

So been reading all this but does not bother me as the gears are cut to a bigger tooth than a Yokomo,so to me less critical....
Besides does not seem to slow the people like orlowski,Neumann,Yardy so what's the problem....

The most recent issue spoken about on here is not with gears and number of teeth but the plastic eccentric diff holders which hold the diff in either high, medium or low positions. It would seem that in the current production some customer are experiencing an issue where these plastics have shrunk (this happens with plastic mouldings) more than the original KC production run and therefore have more movement or slop than expected from a new part. All I would say is that if you are not happy with the parts that come in the LD kit then speak directly to Schumacher who will be able to sort the problem out.

Those guys don't really count. They could drive a mardave meteor faster than most of us could drive this car. Noobs like me who can't setup a car for toffee get put off with stuff like this and having to shave parts of wishbones etc. And let's face it, Schumachers market is 99% club racers not world championship contenders

Putting all the washers on the diff out drive as per the bag instructions made the biggest difference.

Apart from weight reduction, do the new lower transmission housings (U7868 & U7869) for the LD Stock Spec offer any other advantages over the standard versions (U7617 & U7618)?

LD UPDATE (personal view)
After quite a lot of time since the Schumacher LD was released and getting to know the car and learn more about setting up the car. My comments at the point of release regarding the fit and function of the differential were totally unfounded and regreted, as a vast number of hours driving by top drivers and the hundreds of club drivers including myself across the world has proved.
For myself, I have not had a single failure of any part, and have had numerous racing successes which I put down to the flexibility of the LD being able to work on high, low grip and wet tracks, with out having to resort to a carpet / dirt version of the LD as with other makes. Time driving the LD has been a great and I look forward to the future for more fun and success. Last edited by gromit; 25-11-2020 at 08:42 PM. |
