cat sx release date
Hello guys,
I spoke to Matthew White last sunday at the Belgian GP (Kampenhout) about the release date of the Cat SX. He told me the Schumacher boys said before the end of july (2008:woot:). Maybe this is old news but I thought I should share this. Greetz |
I have read this somewhere else, so hopefully it is true, although I wouldn't be surprised if the release date slides into August as we were first told it would be May / June.
|
The German importer told me something about late July/mid-August, so it must arrive sometime in the near future...we'll wait and see!
Maybe next year for me, I still like my SP, strange thing...;) |
Yup no kit is ever on time regardless of manufacture it seems.
CAT SX looks stunning though, I can not wait to get mine and get a review done :thumbsup: |
I was told last week that the cars are all ready to go apart from shock shafts. I think they are on the way from china :thumbsup:
End of July is the predicted date :) |
Pretty good result at the Euro's for the new CAT, it's obviously 100% competitive.

Yeah the Euros result is amazing, congratulations to Simon if he reads this. Clearly shows the car is capable of getting up to serious positions, 3rd in one of the legs / challenging for second.
Puts my mind at ease on that front, if it's good enough for that it's more than good enough for my skill level. End of July sounds great :thumbsup: |
@glypo : all three cars were scoring top 15 results Grant and myself were just that little unlucky to jump into the single digit results. A little more experience
would have helped a lot. Cruise. |
Sorry Cruise. By congratulating Simon I did not mean to discredit the other Schumacher drivers. You all done a great job, congratulations all for going so well with the new car.
|
I didn't understand it in that way.I just wanted to make clear for what the car is capable in the hands of not so gifted drivers ( like me:blush: )
Cruise. |
Aaaawwwww! No need for understatement, Ralf! Good job, guys!:thumbsup:
|
Yeah for sure, Good job to Ralf and Grant with it being first time they had run car. I guess the cars did you guys well :thumbsup:
|
Who's had to lose their car then? Ralf or Matt? :lol: Or will there be enough to go around soon?
|
Ha ha, well the car i've been running clocked up a fair few miles in not so many days. My house to Belgium, then i thrashed it within an inch of it's life!! (Si kept telling me i was over driving all weekend - ME, how dare he! Never!!)
Then it had to endure the high speed journey with Kev and Jon from Belgium to Italy - fortunately it doesn't seem to have been scarred by being present when Kev was so blatently breaking Swiss Law :thumbsup: As for it's current location - No idea! :confused: |
It left Italy in better condition as it arrived there alongside with Grants car to be analyzed and then be refurbished by Phil Booth.
@ Matt Phil wasn't that happy about the state of the car. Cruise. |
Matt,
The Show Car, yours and Grants were all strapped lovingly into the back of Glyn's van. I believe they made it home ok (Unlike Preddy and Barney :thumbsup:) and are now residing happily on Ebay. Lol:p |
lol, so that is why it was needing a rebuild during the week then!!:woot:

Does anyone know how many parts are different on the LIPO version compared to the NIMH one?
Just thinking as it looks a tight fit to get any kind of saddle LIPO in the 4+2 One, so with it being out before a decision on allowing LIPO's in the Uk next year, I guess some people will like a "conversion pack" available to convert the NIMH to the LIPO one for next year if they are allowed? |

You need a different chassis, battery strap, strap mounting spacer/locator, servo mount spacers. Fairly sure that's the lot.
|
CAT SX shipping
Is there anyone that knows when Schumacher start shipping of the new car? first release was estimated to summer, then july, then august - when I look a my calender it tells 11th and nearly mid august !!! what happens?
|
Hey guys,
Just wondering. There are two kits avaliable. I want to buy a kit, and preferably want the lipo version. Its ok to use during the winter series' but im nt sure, cos I also want to do regional series' but feel lipos might not be allowed. Do you think cells would fit the lipo car??? I'm confused?????:cry: thanks Chris :) |
I was thinking of trying to fit minh in the Lipo version as well actually, as a backup if Lipo isn't eventually allowed!!
Also, which lipo is in it in the pics? Wouldn't mind knowing what sizes fit! |
It iooks like the core 5000 mah to me mate.
|
I know the press release photo's have the Core 5000, but all Roar approved LiPo's are within 1mm of the same dimensions so I would look at the Roar LiPo approval list...
But the Core's are the bomb!;) |
Quote:
Hope that made sense!? |
Cat lipo chassis doesn't have std cell slots in it - or at least the one i have doesn't. The core 5000 lipo is flat bottomed - not sure about the 3200.
|
Cheers Matt, that's great, think the 3200 has bumps, hence my question as I assumed the 5000 did too!

Will a LiPo battery with the Mi3 LiPo locators attached fit inside?
|
Any news on the release date? Not much of August left now!
|
Are you buying one of these as well dave? :o

At least I'm not like Vmag though, I actually do buy them and don't ask which one will kick anothers ass! |
To be fast with a car you have got to know it, and to know it takes ages. Changing cars like you are doing prooves nothing Dave as the worst one may feel good with an accidentally good setup on it, sorry mate. You need to get one, any, and stick with it for several years even.
