Schumacher KF

[badger5]

Kurtje, that's one cool looking track.

You could also try running short wheelbase and/or the 1 degree rear hubs that will then give 4 degrees of rear toe in, a ball diff may also help. Tom Cockerill has posted a set up on PetitRC for low grip conditions, perhaps some of this set up could help and give you some pointers. You can find it here;

I've already ordered the Trishbit KF weight hope this help a little bit.

The weight does help and also folowing Tom Cockerill's set up for RHR on petitrc is spot on for rear grip. The Core RC black rear springs, short wheel base and moving the shocks to the rear with the alloy "gearbox top pieces" made plenty of grip with BB greens on very wet astro

Thank you !!!
I'm gonna try those things!
Shocks to the rear does that make a huge difference because I already have the alu top gear box.
So testing it is easy.

Bumpy tracks only really for them

Need to get min ordered and should have done for the Christmas break. NY it'll be then

Will be trying shocks on the rear at TORCH with it reasonably bumping and wet these days

[mark christopher]

Seems some are putting shocks to rear to change weight bias too

[Kurtje]

More weight at the back then?

[Kelk]

Rear shocks defo for weight ias to the rear

[jonathan may]

cant wait to get me
looks like I will have to wait for newyear to get my hands on one

[jonathan may]

what parts are needed to run the shocks on the back is it just the alloy gear box tops ?

[Kurtje]

Yes just the alloy gear box tops...

[jonathan may]

why are people using the core springs then the Schumacher spring on there kf and aero,s ?

[Kurtje]

Tested today with the short wheelbase, Trishbit weight and some thinner oil in the shocks. The difference was amazing! The car felt so good and my laptimes went down every lipo!

Got my personal 2wd record today with the Cougar on this track!

Thanks guy's!

Totally agree, mini pins on rear and yellow stags on front but not cut stags as they generate to much grip
