Default 4WD change

Currently running a Cat SX LIPO with stiff chassis and all the alloy bits etc.

Finding it hard work, so contemplating changing to a Yokomo or B44.

Any other recommendations for a club racer or stick with the Cat SX and go back to the original chassis??

I'll have a word with a friend who has one and see what happens.. Test pilot it etc.

I do like the look of the Yokomo though.

Never owned one so don't know, I would look into spares availibility and prices though as I've heard they can be expensive.

Mikey, listen mate, try one more thing before you give up, I promise it will transform this car for you, PUT THE REAR SHOCKS ON THE REAR OF THE SHOCKTOWER!!!!!
I wasn't overly happy with the Cat till I did this, for me it made the Cat the kind of car I want to drive!!!!! Trust me, have I steered you wrong yet???

The Cat was running and has been running shocks on the rear.. I have been running them reverseed, but changed to standard wishbone position and on the rear for Petit. I ran them on the front for the final as I was already bust as far as qualifying and wanted to see what it was like.. Broke the car on my best run, my fault....

I am very undecided at the mo. I love the Cat for what it is, but I'm not good enough to take it forward..

That's also how I partly feel...

Plus I have a serious amount of money tied up in it.

Ordering up a SP 8.5 at some point, going back to basics!

I ran a 7.5 in the B4 and made the mistake of a 6.5 in the Cat SX at Petit.

Could sell my Omega and have both
