SX3 tips?
 

I'm building mine today.:p Anyone know of anything to look out for during the build? I'm expecting it to build like the SX2 and cougar.

I'm half way through mine and I have to say so far it is a beautiful car to build. Keep getting interrupted by the wife and kids. Hence why it has taken 2 days so far oh and work gets in the way. I've just used a little hair Gel on all screws and lock tight where instructed. I can't wait to race it and paint the shell.

Hair gel? What's that about?

no hints tips or anything needed just build as per manual, in 20 odd years of building it has to be the nicest easiest build i have ever done,only thing we have added is the fab breaking system and the 7.5 degree caster blocks

Yeah, I'm with you Carl, it was a sweet build, just dropped together perfectly.

so far so good.

I thought I'd grab a couple of hrs on it this morning. Gotta say its nearly done. Wishbones and driveshafts going on now. Fantastic build. Full marks to Schumacher on this kit.:):)

Christ , another colour scheme !!!!!
Bang tidy .

You know me dude. Its my new Rossi Ducati scheme. Looks awesome in the flesh. Many thanks as usual to Telshells.

Taking shape nicely now.

looking good sime loving that colour scheme,

Why have you built it up with the old style wing mounts?

With the old mounts I rarely break a wing in a roll. The new ones are stiff and it'll eat wings I think.

Just needs wiring and setting up now. Great day!:):)

Looking sweet dude:drool:

Cheers Chris. I'm really pleased with how its turned out so far. Hope it goes well. lol

Nice looking car Sime46.

Just noticed on your car it looks like you have used the old style rubber O ring wing mounts. Do you not like the new hard mount style thats in the SX3?

See about 5 posts above yours!

Ahh helps to read and not get distracted by the pretty pictures.

Heres mine with all electrics in, bit of a nightmare but all done. :thumbsup:

It's a squeeze mate. That's for sure. I'm waiting on some heat shrink to arrive to tidy my wiring. It's all in. Just! Lol

I'm building mine at the moment. I've not built anything belt driven before, but couldn't resist all that carbon and anodised alloy :)

With my inexperience in mind, and I am only half way through the build, I would recommend that you look carefully at the small pulleys - they look symmetrical but are not! One side has some material to help keep it from rubbing against the alloy blocks. I realised my error when I was tightening them down, and I was losing the free movement. :blush: To add insult to injury, I forgot to put the belt back in, so had to do it a third time. Still I did buy the car to enjoy the build!

I also seem to have some binding in the gears, but this may go away with some running in I guess. Nothing is catching on anything, and it is only when two parts of the two gears are together. :confused:

Actually, so far the hardest bit for me has been putting the belt guides on the pulleys. Nearly dislocated my thumb! Lol

May get it's first dry run at TORCH next weekend, even though I feel like a bit a 2WD
