Default 410 or sx3?

a question that im sure has been asked before
i used to race 15-18 yrs ago to a reasonable std
i always had a soft spot for the cat, but times change

everyone tells me 410 [if so ill wait for the v3 to come out]or do i get sx3 as i have a soft spot for schumacher stuff.
my only problem with the cat is they seem to have changed it quite oftern,[sx sx2 sx3] so does that mean i get an sx3 and it will be replaced in 6 months?
the fundimentals of the durango seem to be quite stable so is it better?
help appreciated guys.

I would say Cat SX3, the Durango is nice and repliable but I feeling it needed to be push hard to work at its best. For an average racer like me, coming back after a 15 hears break the Cat is easier to drive and very smooth.

They have worked a lot on this one compare to the SX2, not something you will see on chassis pictures but larger bearings, better diffs and lots of details that really impress me.

Two runs and I got an almost perfect setup for our weird track.

Still remember you Steve and Ray Pinder in the a final at the kit car show with no more than 1 foot between each car for the entire minutes.
