I think this new aero looks the business. Been toying with a change for ages.

The wing will have to do for now.

not forgetting 1 of the main selling points was small bore with big bore spring which THEY found was the best setup...

The original K1 is a great buggy which goes great (not that great by me mind) and is very nicely built.
The new Aero has a few nice new features.
I'll be ordering one.

Ok you lot

The aero is what the k1 should have been IN MY OPINION I don't give a toss if the small bores where the best setup according to schumacher

I'm not saying the k1 is a bad car far from it I quiet like it but if they had put big bores and gear diffs maybe they would have sold more well at least one more.

Stu.

I Agree with what you are saying Stu, But in all fairness it comes down to personal choice.

I personally do not like the geared diff but I doo like the small bore shocks?

If schumacher had sold the K1 with geared diffs when it first came out then I probably would not have bought one lol

BUT hay ho lets all just have fun and enjoy racing with loads of banter lol

personally i like gear diffs especially in 4wd, had them in all nitro vehicles i have used and once you've the oils sorted you cant really go wrong, fair enough that they have the adjust-ability of a chieftain tank but they have worked in all forms of vehicles so why not tenth off road.

big bores are a pain but thats prob just me not setting them up.

it will be my 1st new new electric off road car ever

What manufacturers should do is supply all cars with big bores and small bores,and ball and gear diffs.......everyone's a winner then!.

Honestly, I'm abit underwhelmed by this update.

Whether small bore or big bore, ball diff or gear diffs, they can be tuned to whatever anyone desires with the option parts.

As I run mainly on dirt tracks, these are two factors that I will not get it:

1. The flex on the original K1 is rather rigid. It is hard to get it right for the car to be fast on tight infields. Schumacher did not state exactly what the new top deck exactly improve. The arms do come in medium flex as standard now.

2. The new CF chassis seems to be designed exclusively for carpet/astro. The holes under the spur and motor mount will only allow small rocks and fine dust to get in and kill some part of the transmisson...probably the spur first. And no, I don't believe in sticking small pieces of lexan to cover it, or use an undertray.

k1 has always had med flex wishbones. there is the option of a carbon or s1 chassis option

those holes can also let stones out!

Using the option carbon and S1 chassis, won't I have to use back the original K1 top decks?

By the looks of it, the Aero uses the same bottom mounts for the center bulkheads - also, the alu chassis from the K1 is listed as an option chassis for the Aero.

From what I'm told, the chassis are all a straight fit.

Mid December apparently, which would be next week. A load of the aero parts are listed in stock, so doubt it'll be long.
