SV2 Build Pics.

[hazeandfizz]

Had to work late last night so not much done but this is how far I got:thumbsup:.

Very impressed so far with the build, great step by step instructions and no quality issues.

Will run the gearbox in tonight to remove the high spots from the external gears then clean and re-grease.

[simoncrabb]

Oh check you out with your alloy upper gearbox...

You did! I should have said "normally bad spelling".

Is there much room to run wires down the side of the battery, and inside the undertray?

[john333]

Is there much room to run wires down the side of the battery, and inside the undertray?

I didn't like the wires down the side personally, and with my speedo it was too tight to get them to run nicely like that, hence I stuck them over the top down the centre. I left a bit of slack to be able to lift the top deck up to get the lipos out.

plenty room mate,

[DCM]

[Benjy1]

:confused:Hi I built mine last night no dramas until I found that I could not get the diff not to slip not matter how tight I went with it. Then I noticed that when I take it out, hold it in the middle and turn one side they both go the same way rather than opisite ways as a diff should. I am confused and not sure what I have done wroung. Any advice please?

[RickRick]

something is holding the outdrive away from the balls, so i'd check the bearings and spaces are in correctly, the gear is fitted the correct way around, then that the thrust race assembly and circlip are seated correctly

[Aaron w]

Sounds like you have got the diff pulley the wrong way round. It's got a lip one side.

[Benjy1]

Thats what confused me in the instructions. So if Im pushing the gear onto the male outdrive should the lip face up or down?

[bigred5765]

:confused:Hi I built mine last night no dramas until I found that I could not get the diff not to slip not matter how tight I went with it. Then I noticed that when I take it out, hold it in the middle and turn one side they both go the same way rather than opposite ways as a diff should. I am confused and not sure what I have done wrong. Any advice please?

as already said you must have built it wrong, take it apart and build as per manual, step buy step paying particular attention to how you put the thrust race and center diff in place,ie lip facing male side of diff

[Benjy1]

Thanks very much to confirm are you saying that the lip should be facing down when I push it down onto the male outdrive? I promise I will use this thread for what it was started for when I finnish it Thanks.


:thumbsup:

[Benjy1]

As promised problem solved and car finnished it turns out it was a fulty diff and the female outdrive had no groove for the cir clip but my local shop DMS and Schumacher were great and replaced it there and then. First racing tonight.

:thumbsup:

[Cruise]

All done!:drool: going testing tomorrow.

Look again, the cougar is rear mounted. The other car is an SX3, which is front mounted.

[hazeandfizz]

Getting there, starting off shocks forward (original style SV tower) and -4mm front tower.

purchased my cougar sv2 yesterday an started to build but ,.
where is the thread lock and diff grease doesnt the kit come with it
:confused:

[squiggle]

Hey hazeandfizz I like your shock cap stickers.:cool: How do you do those or do you buy um??

[h0m3sy]

:confused:

Diff grease is included, there will be some in 2 clear bags. One of the bags will contain the diff balls with the silicone grease and the other contains the moly grease for the thrust race. As for threadlock, you will need to buy that for yourself.

Ready To Race

[kwiksi]

Just can't get over that rear turnbuckle as a brace. Does the old stffener bolt up? Looks like battery swap is a pain.

[john333]

The original top deck on the SV was bolted on, or used body clips. The soft top deck option wasn't.

The SV2 can also be changed to just use a pin to hold the lipos in place but to be fair it only takes 30 seconds to do it.

The turn buckle brace is the way many cars seem to be going these days, and the car handles like a dream so it seems to be a good progression

[Alan - South West RC]

Just can't get over that rear turnbuckle as a brace. Does the old stffener bolt up? Looks like battery swap is a pain.

Battery change is fine. The front pin comes out and then you can lift the top deck up. The only real pain is undoing the four screws on the top that hold the top deck in place.

Will sort it when I get home.

[simoncrabb]

Just can't get over that rear turnbuckle as a brace. Does the old stffener bolt up? Looks like battery swap is a pain.

Earlier today I was comparing the flex of the SV2 and the 8mm SV with the skinny top deck.

The SV2 is a LOT stiffer, but very noticeably, the flex is in a totally different place - just in front of the motor, rather than roughly in the middle of the car as of the SV.

This makes sense with 2wd, flex at the rear to generate more grip.

The turnbuckle makes sense as it allows side to side flex, but not front to rear.

Can't wait to run it this Sunday!

[bigred5765]

it also doesnt have to be bolted up take a look you can use body clips for quick release if you wish,

[trr061984]

Looking for a 2wd and I am really impressed with this the SV2. Tempted to make the jump. What are Schumacher like on parts, servicing etc?

[bigred5765]

You wont find better customer service and parts back up in the UK. FACT.

Well looks like I am sold on the SV2. Saddle Lipos only by the looks of it though. Bit annoying considering I only have stick ones.

Are people running front wishbones kit or turned round?

[hazeandfizz]

Depends on how the car is handling, start with them flipped and revert to kit spec if you want more steering.

interesting how some run connecters to front where there is more room (away from carbon tray) and some go for longer wires to the rear!
i went front

[Ritchie T]

I originally did it to the front but the shell touched the connectors and wasnt flush with the undertray at the bottom

[john333]

Same here with the connectors, would have chafed a hole in my nice paint and my battery wires were crossed over when plugged in at the front
