Cat SX2 lipos

[F-1]

Hello! Can you help me please? I have found such line in description of SX2: Due to the low center of gravity nature of the transmission, the maximum LiPo height is 24mm, which excludes some of the 2010 spec 5400-5900mah 50C packs.
That is available in view of what it is possible to use the batteries with 24mm height? Earlier after all 24mm batteries too entered? Which differrences between Cat SX and SX2? New lowered bulkheads? New high mount top deck?
Thanks, sorry for my poor English, I'am only learn it.

Hello to you!
The Cat Sx 2 is a revised version of the Sx1, it has stronger parts on it with 4mm screws in the hinge pin hangers.
I use Speed Power Lipo's 40c, they fit a treat, I have the Lipo friendly chassis so no retainer is needed as the Lipo humps on the bottom fit into cut outs in the chassis.
And your english is good

Thanks for quick reply David!
Why they then have written that these batteries now approach? As though before them it was impossible to find room. Perhaps, they had in view of what the complete set already includes a new lipo friendly lower deck?

Not sure what you mean by "approach"?

EFRA allowed bigger Lipo packs that are taller than the maximum 24 mm the Cat SX would take.The car was of course designed with the maximum size of two years back 23.5mm. so check if you want to use packs with the new sizes I think 25.4mm max.
