Schumacher have released news of an update to their CAT SX 4WD electric buggy - the 'SX2' features many updates to improve strength and performance that the team drivers have been testing over the last few months - notably the new 'Big Bore' dampers seen in testing and already a confirmed feature of the new Cougar SV buggy make a welcome addition to the SX2 kit.
Other updated include plastic moulded hinge pin blocks instead of the easily-bent alloy items on the previous car. These should help absorb knocks without damage and are combined with new stronger suspension arms.

oOple has put together a fun little video from the BRCA winter open held last weekend. Check it out in HD at Vimeo.com/oople or on our youtube channel at youtube.com/user/o0ple
The VIMEO version is the preferred option running at 11 minutes 10 seconds. The youtube version had to be cut under 10 minutes.
Once again Schumacher have surprised us by releasing information on the new Cougar SV a day earlier than previously announced. The car is to be shown at the Nuremberg Toyfair from tomorrow but full information is now available on the Schumacher website.
Along with the full-on competition carbon car shown above that won the BRCA Winter Open Championship in the hands of Simon Moss - Schumacher have announced a more affordable 'S1' composite chassis version of the car at a very keen price of £189.99, whilst the carbon car is priced at £269.99
Accepts either stick or saddle (with optional tray) lipo batteries --->
Simon Moss running the new Schumacher Cougar SV in its race meeting was in dominant form at the 2010 National BRCA Winter Open - the replacement race for the National Indoor Finals.
Simon won all five of his races in this new Reedy format national event and was the only driver with a perfect score of 4 points (best 4 races to count from 5).
More tempting teaser shots have been released by Team Durango of their DNX408 nitro buggy - this time showing off the stunning low-profile bodyshell.
TD:
The DEX408 has the lowest bodyshell around – this has many benefits, like low centre of gravity, minimal frontal area to punch through the air (perhaps giving more run time or speed?) more air flow over the rear wing etc (so that too can be lower), but it also helps with heat management. The engine head in a DNX408 gets the most direct clean airflow of any car, plus the body is designed to direct as much air as possible-->
