New Schumacher KF2

Just did all the above and also eliminated 2 pads and 2 discs in the slipper clutch (I used a longer slipper spring from a B44.2) and saved 13.4 grams of rotating mass. Race ready my car weights in at 1515.1

I run a chunky 210g shorty as well...I can def get her under the 1500 without too much issue.
#200
By the time that's all said and done it should be damn near 21+ grams of weight out of the drivetrain...pretty significant savings
#201
Any part numbers on what I need to flip my rear shocks to the rearward mounting position? Can't seem to find anything and the stock shock mounting posts are too short
#203
I grew impatient waiting for u4616 to be restocked, so I made my own. I purchased u4615 from amain and carefully cut the top off rear upper tranny half u4189.

May also see if my friend will help me make a direct drive for it...I'm thinking a short shaft, drill a couple holes in the back plate, screw the spur directly to it...you would also be able to use lighter weight spurs...don't know how it would affect overall drivetrain durability but in stock class it should hold up

I put together my KF2 kit last night and was just wondering if anyone else had a hard time getting the rear pins that hold the arms on with those little ball ends that slip into the suspension mounts and the rear suspension strap?
I had to really press it together with some force... I would hate to have to change a rear arm out :/
I hope I didn't bend any of the mounts/pins... I could feel the chassis (CF) flex a bit while trying to press the whole assembly together.

A couple other questions for you guys:
1) Those 1MM Quick-Clips are junk, they fall right off, should I just put a 1MM shim in place of them?
2) I am running the alum. rear link mount, and I was told to run 3MM spacers under it between where it mounts. The ball studs are now higher than the stock CF piece running 3MM spacers under the studs. Is this right?
3) I am using the Core-RC servo arm, and it is like a hair from or maybe even rubbing a tad on the top of the bulk head? I have dropped the servo all the way down towards the chassis. Savox 1258T. Has anyone else seen this?
4) How much black grease should I put on the transmission gears? I put a little blob on and then ran it through the gears, seems like enough?
5) How tight do you run the belt? I have heard and seen a whole different slew of thoughts on this.
Thanks!

Just make sure the suspension moves freely without binding before you put the shocks on. I am betting you didn't hurt anything.
