Default CAT SX - First photos
Schumacher today showed the first photos of their new 1/10th scale 4WD electric buggy, the SX. The car is a high spec mix of carbon fibre and machined alloy and will be available in two versions on release.



One car designed around an optimal NiMh 4+2 cell layout - and the other around a stick LiPo battery, so the customer can choose which car will suit their needs the best. It should also mean racers can switch over some chassis components at a later date if they move from NiMh to LiPo racing rules.



Check out the full story on the Schumacher website here: http://www.racing-cars.com/main.asp?sitepages=cat_sx

you'd think they might put new tyres on? lol

Looks great - not sure about the mix of purple and black anodising but it's a proto so who knows what it'll be like. The shock towers look like they'll take some abuse.

From a purely aesthetic point of view, that is the coolest car on the market right now IMO! Awesome work Schumacher!

I'm sure some will have a different view, but it's nice to see they didn't compromise the design to include LiPo but instead offer a lipo-specific car as well.

I wonder if there's a reason the front of the cockpit is so high and then slopes down? Maybe some gears are placed quite high up so need the clearance? Just a guess

The body shell is designed to only fit part way down the undertray.
