KF, KR, now a KM

[rdr]

Had some spare time so i made up a Schumacher KF from an sv2 front end and an sx3 rear end. I drew up the chassis from the KF side pods, sx3 rear and sv2 front and milled a carbon fibre chassis. It ran well and i thought it seems a shame to have the sx3 sitting there with no rear end, so i redesigned the chassis and milled a new one for the sv2 rear end and made a new top plate.

So now i have the new KM.

Longer chassis than the sv and sv2 which gives you the kf spec chassis with a ball diff and mid motor position, and balances the car towards the rear for more grip.

Here's some pics

i've not tried it on grass yet, should get some time to test it over the next week.

Had a chance to run the KM on grass last Monday, and it ran exceptionally well, stable and had plenty of grip. Let a few guys have a go and all were impressed by the new chassis.

Hi,

I like your work, its very good. you said it was the rear end of an SX3 but looking at the pics it looks like the rear end of an sv or sv2? if it is an SX3 how have you managed to shorten the belt drive?

If it is the rear end of an SV then surly its just an old SV with mod chassis which was an extra 8mm longer?

hi Madmulc, originally i made a kf using the rear of an sx3.
This one is as you say a sv/sv2 rear end and a new chassis to make it longer and slimmer.
It uses the kf body and sideframes so it looks like the kf with the benefits of a mid motor setup.
