Default Cat SX rear wide track conversion kit

The wide track modication gives the CAT SX2 or CAT SX3 better stability in corners and over bumps.
The modification increases cornering potential.
Care must be taken when using some tyres which hang excessively over the edge of the wheels as the car width may be too wide for some organisations rules.

The SV2 is about as wide as is permitted already.

I'm currently building an sx3 and got told by a Schumacher driver to fit this. He said that fitting this and the new Ackerman plate inproves the car.

Grant Williams who won the Belgium GP won with this mod on. He really felt it locked the rear end in and didn't loose steering.

I don't run it only because my 4wd has been really good this year and I don't want to upset the status quo. It may be something I look at again over the winter during testing but I haven't decided yet.

I do run the wider track width on my cougar tho and like that so as I say, I may take a look.
