Looks the bomb well done schumacher.
Funny looking shaft drive car ha

No purple! :o

k = black, hence the lack of purpleage :D

In the option list gear diff??

Yes!!!!!!! At last!!! :)

Top of the class!

double post- oops!

Nice!!!

Ordered! :thumbsup:

sweet! I am now officially ace... :D

it was either this for my guess, or that the chassis was made of potassium...

That looks seriously cool. New Xray looked a little plain to me all in black but this seems to carry it off.

Must keep repeating to myself - "I do not need a new 4WD, I do not need a new 4WD....."

Rob

Get it ordered now Rob ;)

oops

I like the look of that.

3 posts telling me to order one? you are desperate for a setup test-bitch! haha ;)

thats the cats bollocks..

Small bore shocks running big bore springs? Seems a bit daft.

similar to Tamiya DB01 drive-train

lovely
 

Hello all,

Lovely :wub:wub:wub

Looks like the option to play with diff height has been removed.
Slipper adjustment on the opposite side of the spur.
The Fab system won't work on this car I think.
Suspension arms, hubs etc same as the SX3
Bando's included from the get go.
Clean steering assembly etc etc
All in all a simple robust clean design wich will be easier to
wire than the SX3, count me in!
Can a team driver show one with the electronics in it?

Hans

not when you see most of the top level guys are doing it

My good that is sexy

First thing i thought of when i saw the rear sideon photo was it looks like one of my old Yok YZ10's :)

Really like the new all black look, and the lcg shocks are much better :drool:

Nail hit on head there Rich.

True...true...;)

Post 71

But obviously no one else thought it would be that simple....

Oh well, i tried to tell you.... :lol:


:p

What are the benefits of the small bore shock but with big bore springs?

they use less oil :p

Very good Carl :lol::lol::lol:

I found the car awesome and considering it was the Cat that make me getting back to RC (always wanted one in the 90's and bought an SX that put me back on it for good), this one seems to be what I was expecting back then up to now.

The SX3 was very good but too complicated for me. This one seems simple yet more effective (2 belts, no eccentrics, etc).

Speaking of SB shocks, I ran some on my K cars for quite a while now because the car is more responsive and also (very important) jumps better on small jumps/whoops. Off course the BB do work great on big jumps and are more forgiving but on all but the very big jumps I felt the SB car kind of flow over the jumps. Don't know if that make sense but I kept coming back to them.

Would it be possible to turn a sx 3 into a k1? With new chassis and top decks and relevant parts like belts ?

Just looked, dont think it would be cheap!.....

Ok thanks wish I hadn't just got my self a sx3

I want one just to take a photo of it next to my XLS! :p

The sx3 is a brilliant car fella, i wouldnt be dissapointed with ur new sx3!

Wat size wheel hex does the k1 come with? Wud losi rear wheels or dex410 wheels fit?

Ya I won't be disappointed with my sx3 .I've not had a chance to run it yet but just building it was fun looks so nice . I am going to have to get the k1 as well. my last Schumacher was a fairblade Evo and that was fun to drive

The K1 is Pin Drive just like the SX3!

My last Cat was the SX or SX2, and it came with both pin and hex fittings for the front wheels. Can anyone confirm if the new K1 will be the same?

On K1 you can use the front hex too.. but I am not sure it is included in the kit.. yet ;-)
