The CAT is back!

[bigred5765]

the cat has oversized dampers???

[dbizzle5]

So ive heard! Just like all the 1/8th cars have just started to use thicker dampers due to the losi introducing them and handling bumpy tracks so well, Ive heard the CATis doing the same thing.

So much speculation! It's not too long to wait is it?

The new CAT is made by Schumacher, therefore will be very cool. Isn't that the important thing?!

Cool isn't enough.
it has to be GREAT !

[bigred5765]

no i say it has to be fast around the track,
cool is nothing without speed and handling,

No

Cruise

[jimmy]

is it true the drivetrain is placed high up, above the motor with belts running to front and rear?

[Lee]

Is it true that it has wings for longer air time and stability over bumps

[Cruise]

Sorry but only one answer per Day

Cruise.

I got it from a reliable source that the layshaft etc were above the motor - or up HIGH - who knows, I was half asleep when he told me.

surely that would eliminate the need for 3 belts?

unless 1 belt is there just for fun and not actually doing anything... could it be a trick? its actually a shaft drive car with 3 belts coiled up at the back of the chassis?

lol
sounds complicated anyway, have to wait and see - I've only heard from someone who knows someone who's seen it at the toyfair!

If it's below £250 it will be a good alternative to the B44, im personally not prepared to pay £300+ for a car anymore.

me too. by the time you buy several sets of wheels and springs etc you are looking at £500 for most top end 4wd.

Where as with a B44 you have enough change to buy 3 new packs of cells!

[Richard Lowe]
