[mpg200]

Just showing off really,
My cat 2000 with a new shell painted by myself, Still racing it at weekends although its driver skill that lets the side down

Still using Tekin 410K and Brushed motors

What do you think?

Any set up tips welcome

Cheers
Matt

i love the original cat 2000, have one in my shed. still a capable car. hated the laydown shock version.

I recently TQ'd and won at Jarrow with a CAT 2000 EC (laydown shocks, with 5.5 brushless, against very capable BJ4s, XX4s, TRF501X, D4, B44s, Pred X11, and CAT SX! etc. I agree, still very capable, spares availability is one reason I dont run it more often.

A Cat 2000 EC is a regular at our club, still finishes in the front end of the A final against 501's and the occasional zx-5.

i am sure i saw somthing about the EC being sold again as a budget car??

[mole2k]

I have no idea where I heard that but for some reason that rings a bell. There was something a while back about reselling the EC as a budget car, It might of been on here or from my LHS.

Tekin 410K, with the little tune when switched on? :wub

[mpg200]

Just gotta love that 410K... its been lovingly tweeked by myself.. brand new even better uprated FETS (lower RDS on, higher max current) and thicker wires. this is one special speedo:wub

V.nice, I had one of those back in the day, I must say the EC was my prefered car when it came out, I seemed to do well with the laydown suspension.

how bizarre i came on to see if i could find some help with setups for my cat 2000 cos i've just finished getting it ready so i can give it a go at the weekend up at the WRS in ipswich. I've only got a 19 in there at the moment but i reckon it'll still be quick enough for the touring car track that's being used for the series. The only real difference with my cat is that i've got a set of losi shocks on it and that's only because it met with a bush out when i was testing everything worked and managed to bend a shock pic.

Just thought I'd bung in a pic of my CAT 2000. :D

IRL22203 I used, made by IR, got them from farnell (not cheap but got work to pay for them:)) If you look at this thread

then all the info is there on what to expect... however the thermal shut down was a problem to start with bit I did sort it... I have pictures of the whole operation so PM me if you need a guide. not for the faint hearted this job . I'm a professional electronic design engineer and I found it tricky. Best of luck

The car I love. The speedo too (i used to have one), but the Sanyo 1700 SCRC's ??!! :woot::woot: Holy Crap!
