Spares - Who do you guys use.

[Colinevan]

Im having a quick look around too see who stocks spares for the sx. Can i ask who do you guys use?? Can find plenty of shops selling the cars but no really covering the spares. Thanks. Col.

We carry the full range of spares and speed secret parts for the Cat SX all on the shelf mate if you are in need (all at the pre-Schumacher prise rise price too!)

[Northy]

Price rise?

Just before the VAT drop the price went up a little 2.5%ish

[Northy]

Odd, prices on the Schumacher site seem to be about 2.1% less than I remember

A replacement chassis was £59.99 when the sx was first released now there are £61.65. £61.48 is 2.5% more thats why the ish from the top of my head but £61.65 it`s more like 2.77% more then before.

Schumacher issued a new price list on the 20th November to the trade, across the board most items (except kits and tyres) all went up by between 5-10%ish (some more and some less).

Examples -
U3314 front wishbones Cat SX were £7.49 now £7.99
U3300 front hub carrier Cat SX were £6.99 now £7.99
Diff outdrives left or right Cat SX were £6.99 now £7.99
...

The rise was a clean sweep across the whole Schuey range pretty much (not a dig at Schuey at all, everyone has had rises - CML, Horizon, Mirage, Ripmax etc etc)

We had a pretty damn large order of spares from Schumacher ordered in deliberate before the rise and we are holding ALL of these prices and not putting up any until the stock runs out and we have to buy more at the increased price (same policy applies on EVERYTHING in our shop, price rises will NOT take effect until stock runs out and we have invested £1,000's in extra stock to keep these rises away for our customers for as long as possible) Shops who have to order your spares in will be getting the higher prices from everyone already and I assume most shops will be passing these rises on as they get them (almost impossible for them not too).........

The same old suspect, wishbones, towers, spurs gears, gear box top unless you switch to alloy ones, front castor blocks and screws, rubbers!! bands, set of belts, hubs hinge pins are what i have so far Colin. Baz has one too. Nick, Jay and Steel Sr. all have cars. outdrive savers of Noel at our club (cream).

so far i've only ordered from M-K Racing, and they've had everything i've needed

[Northy]

Only things I've broken:

Front wishbone - upside down car at the end of the straight that the owner didn't shout about

Front shock shaft - hit wall at the end of the straight at Worksop in practise - I ran out of talent

MK Racing. Spot on service. Website tells you if things are in stock or not. A must for me and the website is easy to find things not like some ive tried to use. Didnt seem to have the things in i needed a few days ago though. Dont know what happened there!!

Never order SX parts from DMS but ordered pleant of other bits and bobs from diffrent manafactures from there and darren's service is top on also one of the most competative shops on price.
