The bodyshell looks a bit odd; as though someone took a KF2 shell but forgot it was going to be put on a 4WD, so they lumped some extra lexan on the edges. It kind of reminds me of the SX/SX2 shell.

It does look nice though, and it appears to have a very low CG. In practice it pulled out of the corners like no other car, it stays very flat under load, almost like a TC. Looked to have a little bit of understeer, as he was the only car (that I noticed at least) that wasn't able to sharply rotate around the apex at the end of the main straight. Could've just been a product of being quite stiffly sprung, it seemed to have a lot of rebound over the little doubles and small jumps too.

I'll watch orlowski tomorrow, only watched Dave Poulters so far. I doubt anyone has under steer at this track. I've removed six rows of pins and glued sidewalls in 4wd.
Car looks long and thin. Reminds me of Darc Durango.

Michał said they were trying to get some more steering from it, but it ended up with less, which explains the lack of rotation.

I didn't see it grip roll a lot though, and he only had 3 rows off on the front and one off on the rear. 8th on the first day is a very strong start.

Both roll bars look so thick on michals car though. Plus stiffish springs on front. That has to be contrabuting to the understeer. But as ever with setup its balance.

Default carry over parts from K1?

Hello all,

I have been running schuey 4WD buggy's since the release of the SX3.
So I have a nice supply of spares for my current K1 (soon to be retired).
Do we know which parts will carry over from the K1?
I am hoping arms, hubs, diffs, steering blocks, etc.

Regards,

Hans

This Cat looks so good, i may have to change the brand for the 4wd!?

I was allready nearby, to buy a K1, when it came out, than i decided to stay with my dex, but now i think, i cant resist anymore....

Actually, i like, they use some parts from the sv and sx on this car, i still have a nearly new svr and some spares, so i can carry some of the parts over, if i get one of these?
