This was my first kit build and it went together beautifully. Each easy well-defined step has it's own numbered bag... I love foolproof instructions. Tolerances were exceptional, every part went together perfectly. Researched the kit on RCTech and heard about some of the tranny layshafts having a slight catch when spun (these are first run cars). I slid the end of the shaft into my dremel and broke in (got rid of the catch-y spot) my tranny in a matter of minutes. Evidently Schumacher customer service will replace any missing or inadequate parts in a matter of days. I found no need to contact their CS as my kit was a work of engineering art IMO and the tranny is smooth after breakin. Buy a metal servo horn, the stock plastic one will strip quickly... 1.5 heats for me. I used a Savox 1257 servo and the nut on the backside of the ballstud on the horn just barely rubs the steering rack, so a lower profile servo may be a better choice. Seems most owners are just altering a metal horn slightly. Also, build/set/lock the ball diff exactly as instructed, NOT like you would a TLR, AE, or B-FAST. I've put mine thru one raceday and it performed beyond my expectations and drew much attention from the other drivers. I don't think I'll be the only Schuey driver at our track for long. |
