Schumacher Cougar KF2 mid motor conversion

New from Schumacher comes the mid motor conversion for the Cougar KF2 2WD buggy. The conversion moves the motor cluster back by 19mm and puts the LiPo battery in front of the motor. The included carbon fibre chassis accepts all motor positions, standard, low grip and mid as well as all LiPo layouts. The shift gives the KF2 more rear traction and allows the power to be transmitted easier into forward bite and acceleration. This means that racing on low and medium traction conditions such as dirt and sandy/dusty astro just got easier. The chassis accepts normal height shorty LiPos, to maximise traction on very low grip conditions a low profile battery could be used. The body requires a small modification to clear the spur and side gear cover and a modified body is readily available.
