The KF2 is a different car, motor can be centered, foward and now also right in front of the diff. All is belt driven.
The KF is a traditional mid motor car, no belt.
There is a prototipe of it in my local track. Pretty fast.

The Schumacher cars are awesome, the engineering and quality very different to AE! If you run mid motor then a new Schumacher KM would be right up there, can't wait for the K2.

I'm building an RB6 right now. In the past four years in 2wd buggy I've run a TRF201, 22, B4.2, and DEX210. I get bored and try new things at least every year. While the characteristics of the cars are different, I always end up with the same fast laps in the end.

Mild mod set-up for me (9-10.5t). Indoor damp clay med-high bite.

This argument about parts availability is void. It's called internet shopping.

What cant the b5m do that the rb6 can you ask, be made in japan.....
Go Kyosho if you want something different, I've owned the b5m, 22, team c, dex210 and the Rb6 is my favorite by a long shot....
Or you could wait and get the new Xray rides.... they would also be nice to try out...
