fAIR ONE. :p

I agree, best thing I ever did with mine was sell it! Buy a durango, been really impressed with mine.

Car ordered. Shell on way to painters. Yeeehaaa. Hope its as good as my SX2! Wes's was awesome last night.

Realistically when will the sx3 be available to purchase

This friday allegedly :blush:

im sure schumacher are doing there best to get the cars out after all no cars no sales and no money for them to you know,im sure there making sure every part of the car is as good as it can be,

o buy the way matty says it is worth the wait

I dearly hope so.:drool:

A little advice if running speed passion gt esc. Space for electronics are limited, so the gt and a futaba 604 receiver are very hard to fit. Futaba 614ff fits much easier. Buy the smallest receiver available for your transmiter. And it is very worth the wait.

I'm triong to get my micro 40mhz receiver to work with my gemini set.:(

Any news on friday?
:cry:

Durango;)

LOL TRF:blush:

boo go away:p

I really want a cat but keep looking at the dark side. (TAMIYA):drool:

Where would one buy such things?:confused:

:thumbsup::thumbsup:

I installed them on the cat and they do feel smooth, but that has to do with them being packed with grease instead of just oiled.
They are abec 7, wich means that the inner and outer diameters of the bearing are as close to spec as they can get. That doesn't make much of a difference in the belts, it made a difference in the amount of slop in the front and rear hubs. There is very little slop in them now.
I have to admit they do seem to create a little drag on the drivetrain. beacause they are packed with grease. The theory is that the grease keeps the dirt out of the bearing races hence they keep longer between rebuilds. Around here the tracks are made of grey clay that is very abrasive and hard on the cars, so the rubber seals and grease made me buy them. I only have 1 day with the car so far, so I don't know if its worth the extra money.
The red seal bearings that come with the kit are very similar to the boca. They are rubber sealed too, that look to be very good quality. I honestly didn't know that the kit came with this type bearing, I thought they came with the old syle metal shielded type, had I know I would not have bought the boca bearings.

Thank you for that. Surly the clay dust and grease would turn into a grinding paste. Or are they completely sealed?

not sure on what bearings will come in public kits but mattys had orange sealed bearings in it when it came

The kits all have Red sealed bearings, a change from our previous Off Roaders kits, to prevent dirt getting in. Should prolong the life a lot.

Carl must me colour blind ;)

lol at chris, they may be red

Matthew was going that fast at weekend the colour came off eh Carl ? :thumbsup:

No bearing can be completly sealed, the best seal is offered from rubber shielded bearing. The kit comes with rubber shielded bearing, doesn't get much better than that.

lol think the SUN has faded them:blush:

Had a really good look at the SX3 of Trish's this evening. And I does look like a well engineered car and looks so well balanced. Roll on friday.

Any news???

schumacher website says sx3 pro cf in stock but no option to buy does this meen it will be here friday ? :eh?:

GOD I hope so. I've put the 44 up for sale in anticipation.:thumbsup:

They have them instock :thumbsup:

We've got some arriving in stock tomorrow, Friday. We can Special Delivery them out to you for Saturday morning. Get in touch!

I'm off to go and get one then:)

I ordered one 3 months ago and now my local dealer said that first patch is sold out. =((((. Schumacher have huge problems in with their supply chain imo. And they lose a lot of customers with that kind of delays and problems.

i'LL KEEP MY FINGERS CROSSED.

Could that not be at the fault of the LHS for not actually passing your order onto Schumacher, thus missing the first batch?

Got to admit I was thinking that. I'm fairly confident that if a retailer placed an order 3 months ago, then they'd be getting one tomorrow. I could be wrong, but I doubt it. However, if they tried to order one this morning, then maybe it's not a huge shock if there weren't any available.

It's a problem throughout the RC industry. Cars need testing, so they get seen by the public eventually. As soon as something has been seen, the public wants to know when they can have one - so the manufacture takes their best guess. It's not until lots of things have been signed off that you can place orders for manufacture. The vast majority of RC companies has at least some parts made in the Far East as customers demand their products as possible, and this ultimately gives potential for some delays. Remember it only needs one part to be delayed (no matter how small), and you can't sell kits to the general public.

The team sometimes get their kits early, and sometimes these kits aren't quite right / have something missing / not quite right. I've had a few kits over the years that have something that isn't good enough to sell to the general public, but is ok for a team driver than can "make do" until the correct parts arrive. I have no idea if this happened with the SX3, it's just a point that might be worth noting for anyone who is wondering why the team can sometimes have kits a few weeks in advance of general release.
