Seems that way

Really looking forward to this, the SX3 was amazing but too complicated for me.

Belts I hope and better shocks.

Nice to have new 4wd options, I was going to run only 2wd but these change my mind

If you hurry you can beat Xray to it...... (edit, to late!)

In my opinion K1 is the short cut for the German word "Kardan". Kardan = driveshaft and "1" because it is their first car using a driveshaft transmission...

so an English company would use a german name/referance?

[Fredrik Emilsson]

And "Schumacher" [Schuhmacher] is...?

[Origineelreclamebord]

I think they chose for K1 because if you shout it out real loud, it sounds like something fearsome that's going to kill you (being the competitor)

KAAAEEEWAN!






Perhaps K1 is just because you Kan?

Hello all,

Could the K just be chosen because it is letter number 11 in the alfabet?
is this the 11th cat?

Greetings

Judging by the pic it comes with small-bore shocks but big-bore springs.

The knurled spring adjuster is a much greater outer diameter than the shock cap, and this certainly isn't the case on my Cougar. Also you can see how the shock doesn't 'fill' the inside of the spring the way it normally would.

Not sure if anyone else has picked up on that yet, but it is interesting. Doing some reading a number of X-Factory guys believe that the big-bore spring is far more important than the shock itself.

I certainly hope it isnt shaft drive either, with the release of the X-Ray 4wd we now have just too many 4wd's using the same layout. I wouldn't want off-road to head the way touring cars have become where everything is a clone

All this "K1" name speculation is fun, do carry on!!

[lochness42]

Well in teaser pic you got "The Cat with Killer Instinct".
K can stand for Killer and 1 looks like letter I

[moleman]

Hoping for a 1-belt and gearbox with 1-idler solution similar to X-7.
With motor and battery down centerline.

When I searched for K1 at their website I saw that many of their racing kits have item no. K1xx.
Maybe they're naming the K1-kit its actual item no?

Looking forward to its release..!
