I know in the US were looking towards the end of August for delivery, I'm so exited in waiting for the car I got my Cat 2000 back on the dirt last weekend, obviously a totally different car but It was fun to play in the dirt again!

Does anyone know how many parts are different on the LIPO version compared to the NIMH one?

Just thinking as it looks a tight fit to get any kind of saddle LIPO in the 4+2 One, so with it being out before a decision on allowing LIPO's in the Uk next year, I guess some people will like a "conversion pack" available to convert the NIMH to the LIPO one for next year if they are allowed?

According to 'Robin Schumacher' himself, it's just the chassis that changes!!

[MattW]

You need a different chassis, battery strap, strap mounting spacer/locator, servo mount spacers. Fairly sure that's the lot.

Is there anyone that knows when Schumacher start shipping of the new car? first release was estimated to summer, then july, then august - when I look a my calender it tells 11th and nearly mid august !!! what happens?

[Chris Lovely]

Hey guys,
Just wondering. There are two kits avaliable.
I want to buy a kit, and preferably want the lipo version. Its ok to use during the winter series' but im nt sure, cos I also want to do regional series' but feel lipos might not be allowed.
Do you think cells would fit the lipo car???

I'm confused?????

thanks
Chris

[DaveG28]

I was thinking of trying to fit minh in the Lipo version as well actually, as a backup if Lipo isn't eventually allowed!!

Also, which lipo is in it in the pics? Wouldn't mind knowing what sizes fit!

[shark]

It iooks like the core 5000 mah to me mate.

[Adam Bailey]

I know the press release photo's have the Core 5000, but all Roar approved LiPo's are within 1mm of the same dimensions so I would look at the Roar LiPo approval list...




But the Core's are the bomb!

Ahh does the core have moulded "bumps" underneath? If so presumably the LIPO version of the cat still has "cell holes" for these to drop into?

Hope that made sense!?

[MattW]

Cat lipo chassis doesn't have std cell slots in it - or at least the one i have doesn't. The core 5000 lipo is flat bottomed - not sure about the 3200.

[DaveG28]

Cheers Matt, that's great, think the 3200 has bumps, hence my question as I assumed the 5000 did too!

[mes]

Will a LiPo battery with the Mi3 LiPo locators attached fit inside?

[DaveG28]

Any news on the release date? Not much of August left now!

[Lee]

Are you buying one of these as well dave?

Tempted but not sure, I've had such a rubbish year results wise that I'm thinking of trying all the 4wds at some point then picking one for next year based on reliability/ease of use/speed!? Although it means I'm turning into the Arthur Daley of rc!

At least I'm not like Vmag though, I actually do buy them and don't ask which one will kick anothers ass!

To be fast with a car you have got to know it, and to know it takes ages. Changing cars like you are doing prooves nothing Dave as the worst one may feel good with an accidentally good setup on it, sorry mate. You need to get one, any, and stick with it for several years even.
