Default Cougar SV2 or Cougar KM

Hi
I have been thinking of what the update of the SV2 could be bearing in mind it is a mid motor car for all weather and all surfaces, here are my thoughts what's yours.

Alloy chassis ideal for general grip, 12mm hex drives front and rear, remove the under tray and have plastic side rails same as the KF, KR etc, long front wishbones, redesigned body shell, Core style wide coils springs, no rear roll bar for the standard kit, redesign top deck as with the plastic side rails it does not need to be of the current design, gear diff as option for high grip or for drivers that do not want to service the ball diff, plastic shock covers front and rear, redesign of the front top bulkhead three screws instead of two so that the plastic shock cover can be removed and the carbon shock tower stays in place,.

Over to you

Maybe it won't with the kf low grip kit and it's ability to do high and low.

Little birdie told me its not going to happen in the near future.

I think the KF is so good they don't need to.

The KF did not work yesterday at the Southwest regional at Mendip in the wet, beaten by RB6 and a SV2, two drivers that we're driving them changed to mid motor cars, enough said.

I ran my KF low grip conversion yesterday at Southport radio car club, it rained during a round which made the track wet and greasy for over an hour.
I was very happy with the grip and drive the car produced in these conditions and it continued to work when the grip returned once the bad weather stopped.

For me, if you were looking for one all rounder car, its the way to go.

Also none of the Kfs running were using the low grip kit ! I can also tell you as I own both a rb6 and a kf in the dry my Kf was over 1 and half seconds faster in the dry and I think the kf will only start to work better in the wet as we learn to setup the car! Schumacher had developed a great car that with time will be very good you must also remember that the RB6 that won was also being driven by Chris Rowcliffe who is an f1 and has made national A finals. I would maybe get the facts correct before posting what people were racing with and putting down the product in my opinion.

I thought it worked, and was driving one?
