I just assumed buying new kc's and selling the kf2's. They must be worth 150 each with all hopup options.

With regards to upgrading the kf2, it would appear the front end is the same so just new wishbones to change. The chassis is not far off the kf2 carbon chassis setup. If you install the top carbon brace, you can remove the side strips and stiffeners. ( although, personally I like these for securing the body and keeping the dirt out ). The main difference is the gearbox, so it will be interesting to see how effective this is. Other benefits are already resolved on the kf2 is you have added the alloy rear bulkhead.

It's a tricky one really, on overview I kind of feel there isn't a great deal of change, but the proof is in the running. Roll on end of Feb.

I hope so! I keep seeing guys getting their KDs and i'm high on anticipation for the KC-Hopefully the KD conversion will roll up at the same time.

There was one being run at my local club last Sunday (1066 Racing) and it looked really nice. It also TQ'd and won the A-final so it's looking good for the new car.


The driver isn't a regular at the club so I don't know any background but I'm assuming he is sponsored by Schumacher, hence he has a KC before us mere mortals!

From what I understand, the first batch was sent out to the team drivers yesterday with customer deliveries to follow early next week.
