Schumacher stockists? Looking for a Cat SX S1

[jimmiprice]

Guys im after a new 10th car, changing from a B44 and im looking for a cat SX. Probably going to get one of the S1 models, it will suit the little bit of indoor racing i do. Is the only difference the change from CF and the steel turnbuckles ? Also has anyone got any good starting setups for running on polished floors.
Main problem i can find is that noone seems to be stocking the S1 apart from modelsport who are pretty expensive. Can anyone point me in the direction of a good schumacher dealer, somewhere online would be better.
Thanks.......

Hello,
I have a schumacher CAT SX the 2008 model for sale on eBay. I see that you have a B44 right now. I was not overall satisfied with the B44 either. SAE screws, and the driveline and diffs just not free enough for my taste. Only good thing is parts are cheap in US. I also race Xray products XB808, XT8, T2008. Where I am going with this is, I would recommend to you a TRF-501X instead. The parts are easy to get from Japan and Hong Kong and eBay. Tower Hobbies also carries them. The car is quality and built like a tank. The only weakness that I know of is the turnbuckle ball ends. Just thought I would save a fellow Xray driver the trouble and frustration. Check out the review.

Someone looking for a S1 cat I am sure won't have the budget to get a TRF-501X!

Here in the UK the CAT is reasonably priced and everywhere stocks spares, unlike with Tamiya stuff...

Anyway on topic, MK Racing, DMS Racing, Apex Models etc all sell a lot of Schumacher stuff. Probably best phoning any of them to check stock or availability before ordering.

I believe PBM racing have had some Cat S1's in, not sure if Andy has any in stock or not, but i know he has had some through.

Give Andy Wallace a call at PBM, what he doesn't have he can get as quickly as you will need it.

Good choice on the Cat SX. For a setup have a look in this section at the setups thread, I have posted one which works extremely well on all surfaces. Although the S1 comes with a setup on it you ought to try first - it is highly likely to be very very good.

i would go to pbm he is a top bloke and will be dead right on the money..also a handy guy for setup advise too

Anyone other than Modelsport stocking the Booth Spec? Looking more and more like I'll be going down the Cat route...

Also, will the new models have the new outdrives?
