Whatever...
I think from the price guidelines given earlier in this post, that they have pitched the car at far too high a price, to actually make any revenue from it...(i.e. it just wont sell due to being far too expensive) Just look at how popular the B44 is - why is that you ask? Because it is cheap to buy, and comes with nearly everything that you could actually need to start racing without any massive upgrades etc etc. However, this is all speculation, and no actual confirmed price has been given by schumacher as of yet, so we will have to wait and see. I would love to see them back in R/C, but they will have to keep with the original design for a while before changing the chassis layout... shock mounts... etc etc, just like the Cat2k/ec, as that sucks.

Schuey simply want to do a proper product launch, it wont be too long.. There have been a few innacurate comments about the car (not meaning the fun ones obviouly).. Just wait for the release where you'll have pro pictures, all the details, usual product launch literature etc.. Car will be cool

Arent all cars over hyped? Especially nowadays with the internet, we are doing exactly what schuey want us too, if they had of shown a pic of the car like serpent did we would of all gone yeah it looks nice,different, whatever and moved on like we have with the s500, but with just allowing pics of a towel and a set of wheels we are speculating and building the hype while schuey sit back and allow us to promote their product.
very clever marketing, i bet they sell 50 cars just from people reading the speculation in this thread.

I still can;t work out the 4x2 cell layout which also allows LIPO stick packs!? Are both those facts confirmed??
If so, then presumably the layout is either similar to the drawing Phil has done with the 4x2 being forced by some element of the main chassis layout (otherwise why not just 6 in a line!?), or maybe you have 4 on one side of the centre, and 2 on the other side, but maybe the electrics could all be moved to the side with 2 cells to enable one long stick pack ont he other side!? Either way, I am

There are numerous things we are testing on the car. As of yet the chassis is still in development to take numerous configurations of batteries etc, so all the details that have been posted on this thread (including Ralf M. comments) are still unconfirmed.
The only things that can be confirmed are - 1. The car is belt driven, utilising 3 belts. 2. We are looking at all options regarding battery types and configurations, in order to maintain the best weight distribution. Any other details are still unconfirmed, including the price as far as I know. There are still various parts we are testing, which is why the car has not been given a public debut yet. However, there is a possibility of it being run at Worksop on Sunday if the circumstances are right. Hope this helps. Si

Where's the motor then?  Cells can't be right. I don't think you can fit 3 layshafts, a motor, and 6 cells down the length of a car with a normal wheelbase. I'm guessing those 4 cells out of the 4+2 would go laterally, with a belt going over them. That'd suit the 100mm width...
