Ive had my KC for 3 days now, and have done a little write up in my blog, talking about the car, the build, and my first race meeting (including video). Feel free to have a read:

Very nice write-up, Chris! If I was to buy another 2WD buggy, the KC would be my choice right now. I really like what I have seen so far!

The time for her win in the C final would have won the B final & placed her 4th in the A final (just in front of you Chris ) I know races don't always work out like that but a good example of the car working on carpet with shockers on the rear. She had a great run with a car that, for her, was easy to drive quickly. I appreciate that others (like you Chris) would have been ultimately quicker without mistakes/errors & your fastest laps will have been quicker. I think that the shocks on the front of the rear wishbones will ultimately give a quicker car on the surface if you are good enough to hang on to it or get a set up that suits you, but the rear shock option may be easier to drive consistently for some drivers. it certainly was in our case. Also I thought that Lee Freeman & Chris Clarke changed to run shocks on the back? (but I may be wrong) Either way I think the car works well. It's good for drivers to have the option to try both & see what suits them Just thought I would share my thoughts/experience on our first run. Very impressed with the car first time out & after watching Greg at Worksop the car seems to work well on both surfaces Looking forward to running it outdoors through the summer |

Position 1, (furthest forward) car was a bit twitchy/sharp at first, but long wheelbase cured that

Fair enough Barry. I was just pointing out , that if he'd tried to copy the carpet setup from Orlowski, or the carpet setup in the manual, both specified shocks on the front - incase it was a build mistake. I understand different people will want setups to suit them as a driver, and Nat was flying at the end of the day.

I think both will work, just wanted to share our experience & show the option of the rear mounting position possibly working for some drivers.
I'm would imagine Greg will be starting with shocks on the front at Silverstone next week as I guess that will suit his driving style. Its good to have both options to try Last edited by Barry Williams; 02-03-2017 at 12:42 PM. |

what do people think for worksop setup? position 3/4? shocks on the rear?
not seen any team setups around yet but the cars seemed to be very quick. |

I start with this setup and change during the day. To move the shocks is a quick fix and i will try it. Just a test and find a good base setup for next weekend's race. With KF2 I drove with the shocks in front and with short wishbone in front on carpet and thought the car was really nice to drive. Hope this car is better.

Has anyone else notice the instruction manual doesn't suggest greasing the side gears?

Yep but didn't at the time of building just naturally did it lol.

I put grease in mine too but thought it must have been a mistake in the instructions.

what a fantastic car. KF2 was good but this is clearly better. Shocks in front was great. Schumacher has done a good job. Now I'll just have get better too.
