NOT a K2.....

[olied]

A prototype at the worlds....

[Wolvie]

It could be shaft drive...

[JohnM]

Belt or shaft, doesn’t matter, the best bit is Trish’s face on the side window:lol:

[olied]

That’s what I thought 😂😂😂

[bish]

Haha, 100%! At the back, it looks like it has stiffeners like the KC mounted to the upper rear alloy gear (belt) box.

[adey]

Correct me if I am wrong but are those front arms off a tlr 22 4.0 2wd car ?

[micholix]

Correct me if I am wrong but are those front arms off a tlr 22 4.0 2wd car ?

I thought the same, but by comparing pictures of them, they look a little bit different?
Rear a arms are different to the current k2 armes, they have two outer holes for the hubs.

[stevereecekatelyn]

Any more news on a possible date for a new 4wd buggy??

[Navek668]

Been thinking the same for a few weeks now, come on Schumacher, over 2 years now an update is due surely???

[gd26]

It will be released about March time no specific date whether it will be start middle or end. But there still in the development stage I was told

[cmgreen]

And where did this info come from?

[Paultje040]

How is the motormount held in place? Definetly not by 4 screws we see with a shaft setup or like the K2

I was wondering over the same thing...

[micholix]

I was thinking about a kind of layout, like the mi-6 touring car would match the center line screw holes at the chassis!?
Also the kind of top deck mounting we saw in some pictures and at one picture i could see a part of an floating servo mount?

Looking forward to get some more informations, or pictures...:thumbsup:

[bish]

Micholix, have you seen the front top decks fitted to a KC? I've not, but looking at the parts catalogue they look like they are mount 'vertically' rather than the KF2 version, like an Mi6.
Use that on a 4wd and you can keep belts tensioned properly and adjust the torsional stiffness of the chassis. Hmm...

[micholix]

Bish, i have not seen a KC with the front top deck mounted eather, i only found one set up sheet at petitrc, witch stated the mount of it, but no pictures!

A layout like that would be great at an 4wd buggy, i guess.

We‘ll see...

[obi-wan]

Any more news on this?

[micholix]

The new cat looks great at the DHI Cup qualifications, Orlowsky 1st and Neumann 4th, so far!
Looking forward to the final results...:thumbsup:

[Wolvie]

And belt drive.

[micholix]

And belt drive.

Yes, i guess too, Wolvie, or did you see it?

[cmgreen]

And belt drive.

Maybe not........

[Wolvie]

According to Tony Newland Schumacher USA.

According to Tony Newland Schumacher USA.

Again maybe not ...... :)

[Diggy]

I think it will be both!

Something similar to the 2wd perhaps, a belt drive option for carpet and shaft for dirt..

Excited whatever it is....as it seems to go alright in capable hands!!

[SteveA]

Looking at the prototype chassis at the DHI Cup 2018 it looked like it was perhaps a little wider than the K2 more like the K1 / Aero.

[knighthawk]

And belt drive.

Yes and looks very nice, must start saving pennies

[Novamartin16v]

Listening to the cars at MK GP of Yardy & Orlowski I would suggest it’s shaft drive.
Always covered so no chance of a peep!!

[Al3xis007]

Its a belt drive

[micholix]

Its a belt drive

Thats, what i was guessing all the time!:thumbsup:

[knighthawk]

The prototype is deffo a belt drive

[mark christopher]

who cares....... its quick, thats the main thing we need to know!

[david85williams]

It was very quick at the MK GP on the weekend and certainly belt drive, it has a KC rear end.

[tyreman]

Done

[Cookie1892]

It looks amazing

[Ross]

It looks amazing

Pictures !

[knighthawk]

I did see a pic on the Facebook page for Team Schumacher USA

[Al3xis007]

I think there are 3 at the reedy race

[matt]

I think it looks a bit of a mess.

[AntH]

I think it looks a bit of a mess.

Engineering a mess = care
Looks a mess = dont care

[cmgreen]

Its a Prototype, wouldn't worry about what it looks like now, its when its finished what counts, oh and how fast it is, and its bloody fast! :thumbsup:

[DarkHawk]

Most of the parts on the car look like production parts

[Bigdawgracer]

Hi all,

Thinking of returning to the Schumacher 4wd fold.

Any idea when the new car will be available?

im told pretty much as soon as its officially released on the web site :)

[AmiSMB]

KC back end so vertical decks front and rear. New steering geometry with looks more like the old K1 style. Laydown steering servo mounted directly on the chassis instead of being held in the front bulk heads. Looks good

[Bigdawgracer]

Hi All,

So....., does the new car look like an up-dated K2 or is it all new?

Do you think there would be the potential to buy a cheaper K2 and up-grade it?

[Wolvie]

It's a new car, of course shocks stay almost the same, so exept screws, bearings, I dont think it's a bargain buying a k2, when you expect a K3 or whatever the new car will be named.

[prp]

Hi, I see the Neumann car this week end, the car is all new, and is amazing on the track.

[MattW]

There's a pic 3 posts up from yours......:confused::confused:

[spybot]

No Schumacher CAT will ever be shaft-driven. The words of Phil Booth himself.

[obi-wan]

Any one know any more info, getting close to the outdoor season

[Wolvie]

It should be released in April

[david85williams]

Schumacher cars look a little messy anyway. Its just part of having belt drive, there's a bit more going on.

[DarkHawk]

Schumacher cat L1 full details tomorrow

[micholix]

Schumacher cat L1 full details tomorrow

I‘m realy looking forward to this release!:drool:
What is the „L“ standing for?

[mark christopher]

I‘m realy looking forward to this release!:drool:

The letter after K ;)

[mark christopher]

After the full launch info is available tomorrow we will have our first Facebook Live session at 19:00 GMT with Tristram Neal to field your questions on the CAT L1 ! #SchumacherFamily #NoPressure

[micholix]

The letter after K ;)

Haha, i was thinking about that....!

PS.: i‘m looking forward to the EOS race, this upcomming weekend, here in austria, will be there at two days for watching, so may i can have a look at it in original already!?

[Typpo]

Perhaps the 'L' represents the number of significant iterations of the CAT 4wd platform. For example

A-CAT
B-CAT XL/S
C-ProCAT
D-BossCAT

E-CAT 2000
F-CAT 2000 EC/SE/98
G-CAT 3000

H-CAT SX/2
I-CAT SX3

J-CAT K1/Aero
K-CAT K2

L-CAT L1

[K-Brewer]

The car was on schumachers website briefly an said they are calling it a lightweight car so guessing that's where the L1 comes from. Also said the car was £479.99
