Cat K1

[DCM]

Hex, yes you can use it, no, it is an option.

[Cockerill]

Losi sized front hexes are included in the kit, the rear is still pin drive.

@Cockerill,
Could you please tell us the benefit of the small bore shocks? or the different between small and big bore shocks, would be great,
Thanks a lot, George

Hello all and especially team riders,

Is it possible to post a picture of a K1 with the electronics
installed?

Greetings,

Hans

Just ordered black M3 nuts and black m4 serrated nuts to make it perfectly black.

I've attached some pictures of my car wired up and ready to go this weekend at Silverstone

Small Bore Shocks: We've found they make the car much more agile and responsive. When combined with the Big Bore Springs they seem to improve the car over bumps so you get the best of both worlds. Lightweight/responsive shocks that are better over the bumps/landings

now ive seen the car , under the shell , i want to get one ( i love my sx3 ) how differently does the car drive compared to the sx3's and does most of the sx3 "bling bits " fit the k1 ?

cheers

You disappoint me Tom! Why purple turnbuckles?? Ditch those for gold or silver and that will be one sweet looking ride!

Perfect! Thanks Tom

[JoeGlover]

Purple is one of the reasons I don't shumacher Tom, nice to see it not on this car. I do have to admit this is the first schumacher I have ever liked. It might be time to give it a go.

[Cockerill]

Ive seen a few people ask about parts compatability with the SX3, I'll try give a run down:

The 4 quarters including the suspension blocks are the same, apart from:

Rear drive shafts (New ones are slightly Longer)
Rear arms (We now use a single outer pin, old ones will still fit with double pin)
Rear of the rear suspension blocks (Now M4 to eliminate bending)

The diffs are also the same apart from the diff pulley.

Big Bore shocks will bolt straight on for those who wish to use them.

What are going to be the must have top ups,i see the turnbuckles,what about the FAB thing and other bits,
thanks,
Mark

hi tom any reason the rear inboard allot pin mounts are different part number to the sx3?


U4160Rear Alloy Block Conversion Set - CAT K1
or is that just a full set?

Yes, the Rear Rear block is now mounted with an M4 screw. I believe the new part number is for the whole set of parts to convert the rear end from plastic to alloy suspension mounts.

I believe the new inboard use 4mm screws instead 3mm to address bending screw problem.

[Spu83]

From the instruction manual looks like only 1 side (motor side) battery can mount in different position not both side. Will it alter the balance of the car (left and right)?

Maybe they'll come out with something similar to the old TDS on the CAT 3000. It was 2 belt mid motor and had the ABS (adjustable braking) for the front.

Because Matt Owen is useless ive had to put his pictures up, here is his Cat K1
