New 2wd In Development?

Well if you believe what you read anyway!

"Future
As of the past, times have recently changed in the RC world and 1/10th scale off-road has gained some popularity in parts of the world and Schumacher have started development on the new CAT. This has led to some excitement, with a few enthusiasts remembering the time in the past (mid 1980s to mid 1990s) when Schumacher was a dominant force in this class.
Schumacher also will continue with their successful touring car and fun car range.
The following are confirmed to be in development:

• CAT SX (1/10th Scale 4WD Electric Buggy)

The following are rumoured to be in development:

• Mi3 Euro
• Cat 2WD buggy

The CAT SX was seen at several BRCA National and Regional events in early 2005, but subsequently disappeared. However, Schumacher released a small amount of information on their website in January 2008, prior to the Nurnberg Toy Fair, at which they showed the CAT SX to selected media and distributors.
The Mi3 was seen with small developments throughout the 2007 winter season, such as lightweight bulkheads and a different shape top deck. Most other manufacturers will have new chassis or updates out for the 2008 Touring Car Euros and 2008 Worlds, so Schumacher are sure to follow.
The CAT 2WD buggy was announced in the previously mentioned CAT SX information."

sounds like a bit of fibbery and misinformation to me. there's certainly no CAT SX in 2005 ! lol

Was the 4k every actually raced in 2005, I thought they just released a few pictures of it and everybody commented on it being a parts bin special.

Wow that wikipedia article has changed loads since I first wrote it a few years ago. Anyway, the CAT 4000 was ran at the Euro's too I think, the feedback was a little less then positive I assume..........

Schumacher did say that they might consider 2WD depending on the success of the SX did they not? I doubt they will brand it as a CAT, that has been exclusively for 4WD models since the Topcat I think (Cougar, Cougar 2, Fireblade etc). An updated Cougar 2 would do me nicely, Cougar 3 please Schumacher......
