The CAT is back!

[sly]

The 3 belts are for the crashback system as it`s shaft driven!!

True, because they have something to hide lol.

There is a shaft at "Top Deck level" and none of the belts runs over the motor.

Cruise.

The layshaft? or a driveshaft / propshaft?

[bigred5765]

i still say its as per the old cat
two belts to the rear diff and one to the front
they just mixed it up and added a second idler gear
and moved the motor to the right

There has been a lot of R+D for better "in air performance" the drivetrain is one of the results of it.

And there are no wings involved with it.

Come on Cruise.. stop teasing us... the suspense is killing me

[mattym0310]

so when do we find out? when do we get piccytures???
cant wait!

[Cruise]

The chassis is just 100mm wide and none of the belts is running between the cells.

I don`t know when the official pictures will be available.

Don't worry about official pics, sneaky sneaky one would be just as good!

Both diffs run perfectly centered in narrow bulkheads.

Cruise

[Southwell]

Is it coming with a one way diff as standard?

[sparrow.2]

With the information Rumpelmissel has given (ach wie gut, daß keiner weiss.. ) it sounds like the middle belt that will run on the outside of the chassis will be fairly close to the edge waiting for stones and track marshalls fingers...

Am I close or am I on the woodpath (queue stupid german direct translation jokes!)

Not JRXS, that's only two belts. I think three belts means a transmission layout like the Team Magic E4RS, or any 1/8th scale on road chassis if no belt goes between the batteries.
