Launched today
I was thinking about a SVR for next season, but I might just have to buy this instead.

Why do they have to ruin it with a cab forward body?
I do like the gray.

I like the front hub design - might need to upgrade my SV1/2 to those.

The SVR wasn't out for very long!
BTW I wouldn't be surprised if Schumacher released another 2wd mid-motored buggy with the K1 drivetrain.... there's a few guys at our club driving K1s with the front driveshafts removed in the 2wd class... they go well too!

I can't believe this is a thing now where guys run 4wd cars sans front shafts and call them 2wd.
Neill Cragg sums it up quite well for me :

I was totally not expecting that response from him!
He is "straight" that a 4WD car should stay a 4WD...

In general I'd agree that a 4WD car should stay 4WD, but if you're going to mod one into a RWD, just popping the dogbones alone is gay. If you're going to do it, do it right...and there's much more to do than just pulling out 2 'bones.

I'm laughing but probably for a different reason. Just in case I got it wrong. Did I just hear a grown man who plays with TOY cars calling other toy car playing grown men gay because they wanted to try something different? I would think the majority of people in society would call ALL these men gay for playing with toy cars.
I would number amongst those being stigmatized.

Right, zoomzoom...for that matter, wearing t-shirts & other clothing with toy car logos plastered all over them is also pretty gay, IMHO.
