Motor: LRP X20 5.5T
ESC: LRP Flow
Batteries: LRP 4000mAh

Remarks – Young Polish star Michal Orlowski is running an interesting version of the Schumacher Cat K2. His car is equipped with a thinner, 2mm aluminium chassis and a 2.5mm top deck. Together with his engineer Tristram Neal they modified the motor mount to separate it from the servo. Michael is also using pre-production shorter steering arms to reduce the ackermann angle therefore increasing the outside wheel lock. To reduce the rotating masses, he has also removed two of the four slipper pads compensating with an additional spacer on the spring.
