Default My Cat2k - Race Ready....

Well it was finally ready late Saturday only for it to stay this way due to the weather!

I must have tried about 8 different combinations of Oil's and Piston's before getting it to "feel" about right, ended up with Losi Natural pistons and 35 & 30 oil which seemed ok - hopefully i'll find out one day!

So it's a 2000EC but with a 3K shell, Associated Shocks, Brushless etc so a bit of a hybrid!

Looks good Nick!

I am doing the same thing, although I think I will end up with Losi Shocks and shafts with a 98 Carbon chassis, as it will let me fit the brushless in much easier!

I will post some pics when mine is getting ready.

Is that a 5.5 Nick, and what gearing will you be running it on. I haven't got a clue where to start!

It is a 5.5 but i reckon you need to run something silly like a 15t/95 with brushless but the smallest i had was a 17 so i was going to try it......

I will be running a 6.5 Sintered novak, so should be able to gear up 2-3 teeth I would imagine.

Cheers

Reading the Manual they suggest something like a 17/95 with an 11T so with Brushless and 4200's etc i would guess it'd be around the same? I'd guess you'd normally gear down 2/3 for brushless but due to the cells you can probably go back up another 2/3 to get back to around the same.... The manual was written for the Cat when we were probably running 2000's
