the SX1 was discontinued months ago. My dad managed to get 1 of the last few from Schumacher really cheap.
It's unlikely you'll find a new one for sale, unless you phone round every shop you can and get lucky.
Best thing just buy a 2nd hand one off here.
The SX2 is an improvement, but to keep the costs down they replaced a lot of the alloy parts with plastic. If you don't hit anything the plastic parts will serve just as well as the alloy ones.
Either way to build the ultimate cat you'll need to buy either of the versions and then all the parts which are better.
The gears aren't bad in the SX1. my dad's brand new on is still on it's original gears. I put my bad experience with the gears down to worn bearings. Never had a problem with the gears since replacing them.
