Chassis: Schumacher Cat K2
Motor: LRP X20 5.5T
ESC: LRP Flow
Batteries: LRP 4000mAh
Radio/Servo: Sanwa
Remarks – Polish youngster Michal Orlowski is running an updated version of the Schumacher Cat K2. Having worked closely with Schumacher’s designer Tristram Neal on the development of the platform, his car now features a different chassis flex thanks to a different central transmission housing that only uses 2 screws instead of four and a thinner upper deck. Also a lot of effort has been put into reducing the weight thanks to the use of a low profile servo, small bore shocks and titanium screws and turnbuckles. The car is also equipped with aluminium steering arms, a front adjustable braking system and modified steering knuckles that reduce the Ackermann angle.
