K1 Build Pics.....

[DeMogoobra]

Must ask if it is just me doing something wrong building it. Think there is way too much bump steer. Anyone else? Was very tired building it

But so far the nicest car I have had the pleasure to assemble.

EDIT: I am an idiot. Regretted ever posting this but I leave it so if anyone else got the same issue. Solution! Read the instruction manual and assemble it correctly. Do pay attention to whats right or left . No more bump steer.

Hello all,

Lovely car, I'm putting mine together right now.
In my case the front belt is pretty tight, I don't even need
the front tensioner, is this normal?
I can't seem to get it as loose as I want.

Greetings

Not a massive Schumacher fan but this car looks great. Looks so much better than the SX3.

Could even be tempted.....

defo a problem, they should both me pretty lose and need the tensioner. You must have done something wrong somewhere??

[hansie]

Hello all,

Ok it should be loose, back to work then!
I did run it and it seemed ok, but it has to be perfect!

Hans

[mark christopher]

The belts reversed?

No, there very different in length. Not sure how/what you have done.

Maybe call schumacher and try there tech heads if all else fails......

I looked and cant really see how thats happend.

Hello all,

After fiddling with it I still can't figure out what I did wrong.
I even counted he tooth of the the front belt (132) and the belts are installed properly. I checked the fences of the pully's, I even installed
the front pully without fences to be sure.
Still the tight front belt, I'm going to take the advice from someone here
and mail schumacher.
Thanks for the tips anyway.

Hello all,

Trish from schumacher gave me a reply, he told me : to file the edges of the carbon fibre faces which touch the front and rear transmission housings. The amount you need to file off is very small. I would also back off all of your screws under the chassis and assemble your top deck and then tighten the under chassis screws a star formation and then you should have more slack and again after running it you will find it will loosen up over a couple of runs.

I did just that and it helped, I wouldn't consider it a loose belt but it gave me
a little bit of slack. Very swift reply from Schumacher as usual.
Confident that it will get looser after I've run it a few times.
For that the weather needs to clear up for a lack of decent indoor off-road
venues in Holland........

Greetings
