My Cat2k - Race Ready....
Well it was finally ready late Saturday only for it to stay this way due to the weather!
I must have tried about 8 different combinations of Oil's and Piston's before getting it to "feel" about right, ended up with Losi Natural pistons and 35 & 30 oil which seemed ok - hopefully i'll find out one day! So it's a 2000EC but with a 3K shell, Associated Shocks, Brushless etc so a bit of a hybrid! http://www.anything-cars.com/images/...s/DSC00102.JPG http://www.anything-cars.com/images/...s/DSC00103.JPG http://www.anything-cars.com/images/...s/DSC00104.JPG http://www.anything-cars.com/images/...s/DSC00105.JPG http://www.anything-cars.com/images/...s/DSC00106.JPG |
Looks good Nick!
I am doing the same thing, although I think I will end up with Losi Shocks and shafts with a 98 Carbon chassis, as it will let me fit the brushless in much easier! I will post some pics when mine is getting ready. |
Looks good Nick, the cat really wouldnt look out of place in a national A final:thumbsup:
|
Is that a 5.5 Nick, and what gearing will you be running it on. I haven't got a clue where to start!

looking good Nick, although i never did like the look of the laydown shocks. Much prefer my upright cat2000 ones!

Seriously though if i didn't have 40 sets of BB Yellow wheels i wouldn't run them, but it's cheaper this way :p |

Thanks for that though dude, i was quite happy with how it came out - yeah i did the shell on Saturday, did one for Trish's D4 too which he was happy with, i've still only done 4 now but they're getting neater each time :lol: |

Cheers Mark |
Reading the Manual they suggest something like a 17/95 with an 11T so with Brushless and 4200's etc i would guess it'd be around the same? I'd guess you'd normally gear down 2/3 for brushless but due to the cells you can probably go back up another 2/3 to get back to around the same.... The manual was written for the Cat when we were probably running 2000's
|
is it a sintered or not Nick? sintereds are geared a few teeth higher than non-sintered as well.
|
Yeah it's sintered, i'm just going by what the likes of Novak usually suggest where say an 11T is similar to a 5.5/6.5 they suggest slightly lower gearing i believe....
I'm sure it'll be ok - or i'll at least find a way to make it work! |
Thats pretty low gearing Nick. I agree with the others in that you will be able to gear up a bit.
Might be worth trying to compare some overall ratio's with other 4wd cars. Not sure on what the Cat is, but you could probably find out. HTH Mark |
Yeah i've got an 89 spur on at the moment just because it was on the car, so i've put a 17t pinion on and will see how it runs this weekend hopefully, as long as the temp is ok and it lasts a good 6 mins or so i'll be happy, i'll keep checking it but you can usually tell straight away if the gearing's wrong...
|
when we leave you for dust on the straight!! lol

Is the slipper clutch (it does have one doesn't it?) going to handle the extra wellie of a modern system?
