So ive heard! Just like all the 1/8th cars have just started to use thicker dampers due to the losi introducing them and handling bumpy tracks so well, Ive heard the CATis doing the same thing.

So much speculation! It's not too long to wait is it?

The new CAT is made by Schumacher, therefore will be very cool. Isn't that the important thing?!

is it true the drivetrain is placed high up, above the motor with belts running to front and rear?

I got it from a reliable source that the layshaft etc were above the motor - or up HIGH - who knows, I was half asleep when he told me.

surely that would eliminate the need for 3 belts?

unless 1 belt is there just for fun and not actually doing anything... could it be a trick? its actually a shaft drive car with 3 belts coiled up at the back of the chassis?

If it's below £250 it will be a good alternative to the B44, im personally not prepared to pay £300+ for a car anymore.

me too. by the time you buy several sets of wheels and springs etc you are looking at £500 for most top end 4wd.

Where as with a B44 you have enough change to buy 3 new packs of cells!
