The CAT is back!

[ApexSpeed]

Oh my, it's been almost 20 years since my last Schuey CAT, but this car could bring me back to off road racing—even this crap hard pack clay we have in the States.

It's so boring. It's like racing on... astroturf.


I grew up on loose dirt REAL off road tracks that didn't have cartoonish out-of-proportion supercross jumps and polished surfaces that needed rubber slicks. To me, that's not off road, that's lazy track owners and marketing hype.

I know it's what everyone likes here, but to me, it's not much fun. I'd much rather race on a TT-style loose dirt track. We only get those tracks outdoors here, and now they are all MASSIVE for 1/8th buggies. Blech.



Anyway, think there is any chance that this car is capable of handling a LiPo 6-cell pack with the 3-belt system?

THE CELL CONFIGURATION IS RUMOURED TO BE 4+2 SO DONT THINK YOU WILL BE ABLE TO FIT LIPOS

I wouldn't rush into making too many assumptions.

I'd love to, but that's a bit too much of a drive for me. I don't think gas prices would be in my favor on that trip.
