rear mid con was for original zx5 rear end,whereas sp con gave you new arms hubs and driveshafts on all 4 corners.made the car much easier to drive.if you can find an sp conversion anywhere i advise to buy it or you could buy a totally new zx5 sp,or wait a little for the fs version[saddle pack,front motor mount]kit.or why not ask if anyone is selling a nearly new converted fs?many thanks jez.any one got any cat questions?

From what I can make out, only 30 SP conversion kits were brought into the country so were sold out long ago. I missed out on these last year so decided to do the conversion myself - extremely costly! The only way to get an SP now is to buy one already made (or a new kit)

You could also get a complete SP with spares, 2 bodyshells and tire package from the bay here.

This may be one also, worth a "question to seller"

Was about to post in the Schumacher forum, but as you have offered - what weight shock oil comes with the kit and mor eimportantly, will Orion Carbon LIPOs (with the humps on the underside of the packs) fit directly onto the SX lipo chassis, or will I have to do some mods to the chassis? The cells are perfect for the Lazer, but wonder if trackpowers are better for the CAT

Jez, you did me proud beating prices from bigger companies! The car is much improved (not that it was bad anyway) and my times are quicker, so it's all good

hi sorry cant give much advise on cat yet not finished building yet,it was a bit of joke seeing as i am mainly known for running kyosho off road electric but just started with cat spares etc.any questions you got please ask in schumacher area.sure you get much more set up info than i can offer.many thanks jez.
