New CAT SX

[Cassp0nk]

Just picked this up today.




I've not had an RC car for 20 years so really looking forward to building this.

The car was fresh from Schumacher and has a 44mm front link mount and the strengthened outdrives which I believe are the latest fixes/mods?

Thanks to MK Racing who were very helpful and put together a great deal including sourcing a 2nd hand radio at a great price. Also thanks to everyone here who has been patiently responding to my questions.

Credit crunch my arse. Love it!

Thanks guys. I can't understand how people can wait a week to run their cars when getting them painted up! Considering getting a spare shell and just running with transparent body. Bit concerned the shell won't be paintable once used though?

Seems I need to buy a soldering iron too as god knows where mine is

Wow that is awesome.

Amazing setup there, you have got all the good stuff! TrakPower, Bantam, EDS and of course Schumacher! MK is the nuts and will always do the top stuff, so you made a good choice.

Didn't realise you were local, are you going to be racing Newbury with it?

Dunno was thinking maybe Eden Park once I've checked the distance from my house, but will probably try newbury too. Quite like the idea of outdoors, although to be honest gonna be bashing for a bit to build some skill.

Only bit that people told me was a bit duff is the losi engine + controller, but willing to take a chance as I think its mostly early firmware that caused issues. I guess I'll find out eh

My wallet hurts!

Thanks for all your reviews mate. May have shaped some of my purchases p.s. there is a 10 amp version of that charger for 20 quid more, but requires an external power supply. Decided against it.

Isn't CML Raceway down that neck of the woods? That would cure your need for an outside fix without having to go too far.

Wow you are quite local, my Nan lives in Walton-On-Thames. I live Camberley/Farnborough area. The park by Brooklands/Mercedes Benz World is awesome for bashing but the park wardens don't like it for some reason though

You will Newbury track easy to get too, as it's basically two roads. M3 then A339/ Advantage of Newbury is it's weather proof being indoors, very important this time of year.

I am going to get down both Eden Park and CML Raceway in the summer so might see you there
