So I've just finished the K1 and the 44.2 has just the shocks to go on, so I thought I'd give you my views on the builds.
K1 was by far the easier, instructions were fantastic, bag numbering was very easy, and the quality of the parts etc, was very good also , I'm still not too sure if I have the belt tension right, but once I get some,motors and gear for inside I,ll have a play. Only thing on the K1 that Schumacher could improve on would be, the front shocks seem slightly week compared to the 44.2 I remember back in the 80s the RC10'had shocks to die for, and they should have included masking tape for the windows it's a ball ache masking them up , at least associated give you shaped sticky tape.
So the 44.2 well I did it, but the instruction book needs some work, the bag numbering is crap, no ref to it on the book, and a few mistakes in it also.
So for the beginner wanting an easy build go K1. I will post some pictures once I've painted the RC10 of both.
Thanks
Rob
