Cat 2000EC rebuild

[lofty2332]

Decided to bite the bullet and rebuild my Cat 2000EC.

Luckily got a fair few spares and a spare chassis, that I am going to build the car onto.
Hopefully going to eliminate the following issues:

1. Front of the carbon fibre lower chassis has started chipping and flaking.

2. Steering locks when turning corners and doesn't go straight when steering released. Which made it a nightmare when racing in the wet.

3. Drive belts are slipping, the short belt at the rear appears to be worn out.

4. Replacement of rear hinge pins which appear to be bent.

5. Change of all screws since most of them are mismatched.

Hopefully the car will be as good as new when finished, also got a new shell being sprayed by RC Bodies at the mo in Martini livery.

Looking good, I’m in the process of rebuilding my cat 2000 se, I’ve been toying with the idea of getting a screw kit for mine, I bought one for my lazer and it was a really good kit.

I think you’ve convinced me! This is mine at the mo, was a real mess when I bought it, in the process of fitting electrics to it, I’ve got a new body for it but I’m completely out of ideas as to what paint scheme to go for!

How about a Kevin Moore inspired theme, seeing as he finished 2nd at the 1993 worlds on the cars debut.
