cat sx3 suggested mods?

[Shaun_TLR]

Hi all

Im a noobie sx3 owner and shes a little tail happy on grass. as far as I know the guy I bought it from had it setup in standard factory setup. Someones suggested to me to get the widened rear track, and apparently theres a new steering mod that gives the cat a better steering lock?

anyone tried this?

I've heard there's a mod that will make you a good few seconds a lap faster......................

It's really simple all you have to do is pass your transmitter to someone with some driving ability. I am pretty sure that this is a really cheap mod and requires very little mechanical knowledge to fit...

if your rear is loose why would you need more steering lock?

Is it Nic's old SX3 (Norfolk/Suffolk area) - I'm guessing because the bloke with the funny comment is from Norwich & must be a mate (either that or he's just being horrible)

If it is - you need to have a look at the rear diff. It is a diff & not a spool

Yes it is Nics old cat.

She's behaving a little strangely (Altho granted it was slightly wet). She understands into a corner (hence wanting some more lock) then once it does turn in the back just lets go and ends up doing doughnuts. Not really what you'd expect from a 4wd given that she prob handles worse than my 22......at least the 22 rear is certainly more planted.



I have got a set of brass saddle lipo trays on the way in hope of keeping the rear more planted.....hence my question about the steering lock mod and the wide rear track

I think you would be better off posting your set up on here then we could have more of a guess what the issue is. Also your problem could be tyres, what were using, what surface and conditions?

[Shaun_TLR]

its a standard sx3 from what I can tell (however brass saddle trays arrived today - should keep rear planted a little better). its on yellow minispikes on rear in slightly damp (not really worthy of ballistics wet if that makes sense)

The 2 mods mentioned are suggestions of a friend, so just wondered if anyone had tried them, and how they went. Also whether theres anything else I can fiddle with
