Not been raced anywere i dont believe but its certainly had a lot of testing at RHR and a couple of other venues i know of.

/tobys 03-02-2011 04:17 PM
How does it go round RHR?

As well as the SV?

mattb 03-02-2011 04:28 PM
i would be a bit pissed of if id just bought the sx2,but i realy like the look of the sx3.

mikeyscott 03-02-2011 04:36 PM
Look forward to seeing it at a track somewhere!

Shame they didn't run / have it ready at PetitRC.

behave yerself Schlongy!!! My burple ally bits are blinger then Mr T's neck ornaments!!

Mines a Phil Booth SX so has all the bells and whistles and Id be reluctant to swap for a sx3 tbh, I wonder if the new shell will fit on the older car???

Good work!

The S1 is looking a bargain... Especially as that's the only change from the Pro kit?

And with the extra flex it might be easier to drive for us less skilled drivers ;-)

(Pre-orders being taken, *cough*)

Just hope that they solve the belt wearing out prematurely

bigred5765 03-02-2011 05:33 PM

Never had to change the belt in 18 months. Same as another member at our track

BUT, personally I think a conversion would be a BIG seller. All the people that have just bought CAT SX2's for the new season don't now want to be going out and buying another new car. Plus all those on budgets who have bought second hand CAT's. It will appeal to lots of people if they produced a conversion kit for around £150ish.
I think they chose a three-belt design to keep the motor centred. I think it's a nice, British carbon fibre XX4 (which is a good thing!), but I wonder if they will continue to release 4WD buggies at this pace. By the time I am forty, we will have the SX8! :p
The body could use some Azarashi curves in the rear, though. The square end is a bit boring imho.

At least it's not cab forward.....

finally!! i dont have to keep looking dumb when ppl ask me questions about a rumour! the new car is ace very balanced and definatly an improvement on the sx2.ive run down eden park in the damp im fairly quick round there and at the end of the day was over 1/2 second a lap consistantly faster!!

racingdwarf 03-02-2011 08:02 PM
Good news everyone, it's way better, shove that old three month old sx2 in the bin and get you credit card out:lol:.

stegger 03-02-2011 08:21 PM
LMAO racingdwarf :lol::lol::lol:

mdb_75 03-02-2011 09:25 PM
Looks great! As long as it takes 25mm lipo's and there's room for the electrics (SP GT2 esc) then I'll be buying one :drool:

S1 or Carbon though.........??! :lol:

Belt configuration seems like a lot of effort just to get the motor rotating the same direction as the wheels. I'm sure there is more to it than that. Looks like a nice set up though.

When I get one you can check it out first hand. I will even let you build it for me.

racingdwarf 03-02-2011 11:38 PM
Ahh don't let him build it! not a clue what he's doing:lol:

Ive got the original cat SX and it requires a serious birthday on replacing parts and bearings i'd sorta given up on running the 4wd of late due to breakdowns. Seriously considering ordering one of these babys, swap my alloy upper housings and ti parts over and be good to go..

Also noticed the plastic steering rack, still dont know why they did that, its a must upgrade as it was with the SX2, as my friend broke his the first time out.

I'm not really a Schuey fan but that does look well sexy :wub:wub:wub
