Joking aside, this does look awesome. good job Schumacher.


back to joking again... purple... really!? :cry:

mikeyscott 03-02-2010 02:55 PM

Does the S1 include the big bore shocks?

Price about what people thought.

I'll be ordering mine as soon as...

Timee80 03-02-2010 02:59 PM

still no exact date yet? that looks sexual!!!

Chris Doughty 03-02-2010 03:25 PM

I'm intrigued to know what the adjustment nut on the oppo side to the spur gear does on the layshaft...

Variable braking system?

DCM 03-02-2010 03:28 PM

think that adjusts the slipper.... but I could be wrong.

Chris Doughty 03-02-2010 03:31 PM

yeah, Ive been informed now.

changing spur doesn't adjust the slipper, I like it :thumbsup:

DCM 03-02-2010 03:46 PM

are they big bore with simple pistons and clip spring adjusters, or smaller?

Garry 03-02-2010 04:00 PM

Whats the betting that the ''simplified shock design'' on the S1 version, are the old bottom fill shocks from the CAT 3000? They reused the old design shocks on the S1 version of the Mi4LP touring car.

Very tempted to get one though!

V-Rossi 03-02-2010 04:02 PM

Interesting concept, not a big fan of the looks of the car though...

Chris Doughty 03-02-2010 04:05 PM

has anyone else noticed that on the car with the saddle pack batteries in it, the shocks are on the back of the rear arms/tower!?

DCM 03-02-2010 04:05 PM

I was looking at the pic I posted the other day, and thought that the shocks could be swapped from the front to the rear, and the roll bar...

Chris Ashton 03-02-2010 04:13 PM

Correct, shocks can be mounted front or rear.

Chris Doughty 03-02-2010 04:16 PM

thats ace, I wondered if Mr Missing Washer had been at the car again :woot: :thumbsup:

MHeadling 03-02-2010 04:38 PM

Looks great! I have got one on order and have a nice new lo pro Savox servo ready for it!

Danosborne6661 03-02-2010 04:43 PM

Do you have to run a low profile servo by the way?
Looks like 4WD Front pins too?

cwp 03-02-2010 04:43 PM

Cougar SV ordered!
 
Looks like Rossmod has the official specs and prices now too! Pre-ordered mine today, can't wait!

Can't fault the price and service, great bunch of lads.:thumbsup:

no, a full size servo fits fine. it's on a slant like a 12th pan car.

Alfonzo 03-02-2010 04:55 PM

Love it. I want one. Well done Schumacher.

MikePimlott 03-02-2010 05:08 PM

What a work of Art, Price is good too especially the S1. would like to see the 2 side by side

:thumbsup: proper job

RogerM 03-02-2010 05:18 PM

I have to say hats off to them. As a design engineer in the automotive industry I'm impressed with the way they have put that together. If it goes as well as it looks on all surfaces it is going to be a real challenger. I'm sure we'll see plenty of them on track this summer.

Looking forward to seeing what Shin (Kyosho) comes up with in answer to the SV though.

johnboy 03-02-2010 05:29 PM

It looks a well thought out car, some nice idea's.

and cheaper than its rival mid motored cars also with a nicer finish:thumbsup:

DCM 03-02-2010 05:33 PM

Whose going to have the lowest price, for the S1 though.... be interesting to see.

sly 03-02-2010 06:01 PM

S1 shocks? which type are they, small bore threaded like on the cat sx ver1 or ???

Jamie.T 03-02-2010 06:02 PM

Rossendale models currently in the lead with £249.99. Anybody seen it cheaper elsewhere?

Jamie.....

MikePimlott 03-02-2010 06:09 PM

MK £249.95 :thumbsup: Bargain

poopers 03-02-2010 06:27 PM

DMS £242.95 :D

David Church 03-02-2010 06:29 PM

Good Job to all at Schumacher!!!!! Can't wait to get my hands on this sexy beast!!!!:thumbsup:

MHeadling 03-02-2010 06:31 PM

That is our price for the PRO in kit form (K111). We will have the S1 versions from £169.95 too (K113) and will be stocking all FOUR versions including the pre-assembled ones (K112 and K114)...

Depends on which one of the four you have pre-ordered Mark!!! :woot:

MHeadling 03-02-2010 06:36 PM

Cheers for clearing that up dude! :thumbsup: hhhmmm not sure what one I have coming I will have to check.................

poopers 03-02-2010 06:39 PM

The S1 is looking like a very good deal. Has anyone got any pics of that yet, or are those coming at the toy fair?

mikeyscott 03-02-2010 07:06 PM

I am going for the unbuilt one as my pre built cat sx wasn't very good. Bits missing, no threadlock on the required bits.

I'll do it myself this time. I got the phil booth one last time which did have the extra bits.

No big bores on the S1 has confirmed by Schumacher when I asked them otherwise I'd seriously consider the S1
