Yeah as far as i am aware - it's not being fully shown at the show.

the new cat sx is listed on apex models website .... £350 or £332.50 with online discount.

it says.... Numbers are limited from the first batch, pre-order to secure your car. £50 deposit will be charged.

it also says..
• All new unique drive system where the spur rotates in the same direction as the tyres.
• Three belt transmission, with adjustable internal ratio.
• 4/2 cell or one side LiPo battery configuration.
• Upright shock design.
• Pin drive Rev Lite wheels front and rear, with hex adapters for fitment of Losi style front wheels.
• All new design and parts throughout, only ball links and the wing mount remain the same.

I'm glad the spur rotates in the same direction as the tyres... Unique.. I'm not sure.. Most 2 belt touring cars drive like this....

Mmmmmm

What weighs the most, plastic spur or motor armature...... :confused:

Not just spur though; layshaft, pulleys, slipper, bearings etc..

sounds innovative:woot:

I was thinking that G, and if you think about it the motor will be 2/3 of the way forward like the losi xx4, so when it accellerates wont it try to make the front end light without really transferring any weight to the rear because its so far forward.???

Someone correct me if im wrong

Bit like my ProCat? :)

Ok James.

How many belt cars have the belts turning in the opposite direction of the wheels? :p :p

Just playing devils advocate :thumbsup:

G

Innovative like an X5 then? Or even the XX4, or the XXX4?

I'm glad i'm not the only one that found this a bit strange.... even if you think back to all the Schumacher 4wd's over the years???

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy... :woot:

Sorry but the spur gear turns the opposite way of the wheels.


@ Lee youre wrong

Not on a belt drive car...... :thumbdown:

G

thanks G:thumbsup::lol:

not on most cars too.

I think its only the 4-gear 2WD cars that have the spur running the other way to the wheels.

anyway, its nit-picking, im sure it will be a good design, I am very keen to see it.

Trust me it definately rotates the other way round.

Cruise.

Can you explain how? :confused:

G

I'm missing something :lol:

Somethings wrong in the world when Carl posts the most sensible and reasoned post. I think the must have been refering to the common shaft layout with the motor mounted long ways.

I could but for the fun of it I won`t.:thumbsup:


But think of that internal ratio.

Cruise.

P.S. thats almost the fun as knowing about the Asso 4WD for years and reading the roumors about it.

You make less sense than Lion-o dude :thumbdown:

G

Cruise,

When looking at a motor from the shaft end the shaft rotates anti-clockwise which in turn makes the spur rotate clockwise the belt has to rotate the same way as the spurgear and layshaft.


One thing i was thinking is if schuey were to mount the motor on the right of the car to make the motor rotate forwards and run an idler gear between the pinion and spur but i dont see what benefit this would give apart from having the spur and motor turning in the same direction:confused:
