Cougar KF2 SE

Sorry was my school boy error, the 2mm hex driver needed sharpening.

Enjoying the build so far, had modify the alloy rear trans housing slightly as one side the pins didnt fit, only by a couple of thou though.

Best kit I have ever put to together

Thanks for your help

Hi Matt,

Glad your enjoying the build, it's a great car. One bit of advice I'd give is to invest in a set of these MIP tools, makes building a breeze.

How got all the allen drivers, and yes they do make assembling it easier than farting around with allen keys. Just spotted my first error had the belt the wrong side of the front teasioner - oops - wont be my first. Could be a long night. As long as I wake up in time for Mark Noble testimonial tomorrow. BT Sport Europe.

There's allen drivers then there's MIP allen drivers

Might have to invest in some. As the ones i have are not great

Hi guys. I have just scored myself a KF2 SE, and just want to double check a few bits to get. I am going for the alloy rear shock mountings and 5 degree front hubs. Are the kit pistons ok to use? Also my first racing gear diff and I dont have any oil, can you suggest a couple to start with that will cover most bases? Starting on a bumpy astro track, and hopefully SHRCCC (smooth astro with jumps) soon.
Cheers

Yup they will be fine, Don't really need anything else. Ive been to SHRCCC a few times so feel free to try my setup for there if you like? My pistons where drilled so i think try 500 front and 400 rear should be good for the car.

Thanks William. I notice none of the set up sheets mention if the rear shocks are mounted forward or back, I will probably try back first. I only have saddle pack cells at the moment so I expect the motor will have to go forward for now.

Pretty much every one always uses the shocks on the back. The track has good grip so you'll be fine with the saddle layout
