Chassis Focus – Michal Orlowski

Chassis: Schumacher Cougar KF2
Motor: LRP X20 6.5T
ESC: LRP Flow
Batteries: LRP 2900mAh “LCG”
Radio/Servo: Sanwa
Remarks – Reigning DHI Champion Michal Orlowski is running a very interesting version of the Cougar KF2 which features a number of prototype parts conceived and realised by his engineer Tristram Neal. First and most important is a 3-gear transmission, that allows for an opposite motor spin direction for a better gyroscopic effect. The chassis flex is now adjusted by two carbon side stiffeners that work together with a new split top deck, so as to take stiffness away from the top of the car. The rear shock tower now features new holes towards the inside of the vehicle. Michal is also using a under-LiPo brass weight.
