Schumacher Cat K2 1/10th 4WD off-road buggy

Moving forward from the 2015 EFRA Euros winning CAT K1 Aero, Schumacher have now introduced the Cat K2. With modern track trends the buggy is optimised for high and low grip conditions, making it faster, more consistent and more versatile with its longer and very narrow chassis. Based on the updated chassis the car allows to run multiple battery configurations from shorty to saddle pack, it features a reverse rotation mid-motor layout with centralised motor position and split top decks for greater flex characteristics and easier maintenance. Also new are a compact steering system with adjustable, dynamic Ackermann, the new quad-pad slipper clutch and the new front inner hinge-pin mounting system. Included are also a new, sleek bodyshell and the Claw high-downforce rear wing package.
