Ahhh, yeah I think I only ever looked at the Lipo one! :blush:

Was that with a diff in the front:confused: or are they coming out with a spool for the front:)

Trouble causer:lol::lol::lol:

Std kit has plastic gearbox tops as others have said. Lower gearbox casings are all alloy from kit. All pullies are alloy, side gears is one alloy and one plastic. There is 2 different types of front kick up block. to be honest i'm not sure which one comes wtih kit - both are alloy, just kick up that is different.

Can't think of any car that comes with a front one way (diff) and this is no different. Std ball diff here. I have generally run a one way, but i think Si has generally run a diff, with Grant having switched between. Think all the guys at the F2's were running diffs with one way layshaft pully.

cheers guys, sounds a good buy:)

Good lad Groff :thumbsup::p

I've pre ordered a Lipo version. (Hoping that lipo gets voted in for next years Regional and National events)
What else do you recomend i order for the Cat SX. One ways etc...

hey Ben, you've been listening to mr Rolls too much:woot::lol:

Where there is anger and discord, my work is done....

Giving up on the Tam Griff?? Mind you, those Cats looked pretty good at the F2's!

no mate, just like building cars;) Yeh, they did look very good at the f2's

:lol::lol::lol::thumbsup:

Strobe, most is obviously down to personal choice. I haven't seen an "actual" kit as obviously there aren't any at this point.

From a handelling perspective, you ought to think about one ways - just like any other car - either diff or layshaft.

Other than that, there is obviously the alloy top casings to considder, and any amount of titanium you could possibly want to throw at it!!

Will there be an option to get the anodised parts in a slightly less gut wrenching colour? :lol:

Jimmy, you konw you love purple :thumbsup:

It's actually only the mounting blocks and some shock bits that are purple. The transmission housings are all black/silver.

Does the car not come with a front spool as standard? I thought it was common to have spool front and rear diff now, rather than two diffs. Or even one-way as said.

ZX-5 came with all 3 options out of box IIRC.

No, doesn't have spool - diff's at both ends, which i think is the kit normal for most off rd cars - well, i know it was Losi, AE, TTech/Extreme.

There is a spool option, but i can't see it being all that popular if i'm honest

My dad anodised my fully hopped up Cat 2000 SE to red, looked awesome! Sold it to some guy in France for £150 a few years ago :(

To be fair I did run a one way for the first part of the year, but pretty much since the euros have ran a front diff. Like Matt says, personal preference really. I like brakes and steering (those of you who have driven my cars will agree) and found i was quicker with the diff.

Front blocks are one add up to try. I ran 10.5 degree blocks but have recently changed to 7's. Other than that only other thing is front and rear anti roll bars. Not sure what the plan for these are so dont quote but imangine they will be released. As for the gear box houses, they are alloy bottoms and the tops are a hop-up.

Any other questions feel free to ask lol!

Si

Well that's good then. But I assume for tight carpet tracks a one-way will be the better option still though? (i.e. it will be worth my while getting this as an option?) I certainly don't see a spool being popular, I was just curious if it was in the box as I had seen it with a few models. I think a spool with off-road not to wise in terms of strain.

I have to ask, and I fear it hasn't changed, is the wing mount still the same? I am really not a fan of the o-ring thingy.

Well i run a one way virtaully all the time, so for me it would be - but it really is personal preference, like any other car. Like i say, don't think i've ever seen a spool actually available for sale for another car, at least any of the more popular ones - could just be me not looking though.

I have a manual here, and it shows "O ring style" wing mount , so we'll assume it will be in kits.
