Their team has retracted to western europe and a few club racers here. Don't get me wrong, Tom Cockerill is fast on astro but looking at results on dirt, his speed..well it doesn't translate to dirt like some of the other pros. Maybe as they continue to prefect the RM buggies they will start making the mains.

Good looking car for sure! How much does it weigh RTR for 17.5 stock racing? Schumachers have always been heavier than the competition (except the K1 maybe).
Does the lighter carbon chassis change the handling characteristics? I generally did not like CF chassis performance vs aluminum, had the sv2/sv with both types of chassis.

As always Schumacher delivers a Finesse kit .They must have some serious development team and ensure their buggies always look great.I have never owned one but i have always wanted to try one..
The days of the Tamiya Avante VS the Schumacher Cat VS the Yokomo are imprinted on my mind.. Im sure many RC enthusiasts share the same recollection but its great to see how far they have come.
One thing i have wanted to know is why you don't hear much from this team in the Worlds Scale?

Just waiting for Tony to put up some new Stage kits, sense some of the parts in the kits now for the SVR won't be needed on the KR

This may have already been brought up, but its interesting that the new 4wd comes out with "skinny bore" shocks, and the 2wd comes out with 13mm shocks. most 1/10 short course 4wd's use 13mm shocks. 13mm is a lot of shock for a 2wd buggy. found that odd.

And they are fantastic, the shocks are some of the best you'll lay hands on and they last forever between rebuild being they hold more oil at 13mm, they dont pick up air nearly as fast as the more common brands. The small bores are on the K1 to keep weight down and make the buggy more nimble

In europe, alot of pros prefer BB on 2wd and smaller bore on 4wd for the reason stated above. Previous REEDY winner and Worlds podium finisher Jorn Nuemann (Durango) for example.

To update SVR to KR with all hex wheel hubs conversion, top chassis, skid plate,wing mounts is going to be around 1/3 of the new car price.(no bottom chassis)

Looking at the kit setups for dirt from the website.
The recommendation seem to be gear diff, for low traction and ball diff for otherwise. This seems abit strange.
