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.
