The 1st batch of Cat parts has sold out, but i already have another larger batch in production, i aim to have all the parts on the web store over the weekend and shipping from the middle of next week.

And Nor-Tech Racing will also be keeping stock of the Cat SX parts as well

The top deck looks potentially interesting. What grade of material is being used?

Has any consideration been put into the effect of a general torsional or even a simple bending load around the curve? Of course the bending derivative will have components in the fourth order, due to the somewhat bizarre boundary conditions imposed which are neither static or free.

I see you say you expect a reduction in torsional stiffness, that you feel would help handling. However, won't this be asymmetric due to the stress flow being moved entirely to the right? And surely any kind of asymmetry is detrimental to car handling, even when flex is required?

Also I can't quite get my head around stress flow around the curve. The stress levels should be the same, but I can see strain going right up. Also won't there be a bending-divergence type issue?

Sorry for all the questions. I think better access to the LiPo is great idea, I am just wondering at what cost. I'm quite tempted to get some of these bits and stick in my cat for the follow up review (delaying it further yet). Thanks!
