If this car is competitive at the race (not just OK but really competitive) I will be really interested to see what Schumacher does with the SV2, if anything. I think the Euro's event is telling because if they were in fact working on an update to the SV2 I would have expected to see it in some form given the conditions. Why would they sink R&D time and money into developing both the MM configuration for the KF2 along with a new car that is essentially targeting the same type of surface.
Assuming the feedback and results with the MM config continue to be positive here is my prediction: The SV2 will cease to be produced and they will sell two flavors of the KF2.
- KF2 "Euro Edition"
- Kit as it exists today
- Molded upper trans housing and parts for mounting shocks on back by default
- Low grip config as default with MM config and forward motor config as options
- KF2 "Yankee Edition"
- Alloy chassis with MM config holes (hopefully milled and lightweight!)
- Molded upper trans housing and parts for mounting shocks on back by default
- MM config as default with low grip config and forward motor config as options
- Ball diff standard
- CVDs standard
- Possibly small bore shocks standard (I have yet to test these)
If they could get it into the low $300s USD I think it could be a huge success here. It wouldn't need a single thing out of the box to be competitive.
And just to be clear, this is just my pure speculation. I have no information from or communication with Schumacher at all regarding the matter.
Like the Yankee Edition! From what I have read from Schumacher the sm bore shocks are working great on the K1 running on high grip smooth track, I am getting ready to order them here soon and see if the translation will work on the KF2MM format?
