I would say get the S1 KIT. When buying your essential spares kit, get the CF shock towers. A lot of guys are now using the S1 chasiss as it gives that liitle bit more flex. The car is pretty bullit proof though, unless you are very prone to crashing at crazy speeds that is

TBH Having now run the SX3 for a couple of months i would say there isn't much you need, depends if you want the extra tweeks etc...

7.5 deg caster blocks are the norm
I don't bother with S1 chassis, but do use the top decks.

FAB system is not really needed, depends on your driving style. I have it but it has been locked from first meeting.

If you want to strengthen the car then Alloy gearbox tops, but you will need to purchase a couple of shocktowers as these will break instead. Otherwise not much you need in my eyes.

Car is really good and i am sure you will not be disappointed.

I was going to go the Durango Route but from what I have been told/advised, is that they are not supporting their drivers with the necessary help. parts, advise and development this year compared to previous years. Seemingly, they have lost some of their best drivers as a result of the lack of the above.
Now, please let me point out that this is something that I have been told and I am only passing on a statement that was made by a third party. But, as a result I decided to go with a make of car that has been around for Years. I had a boss cat when I was 16. AND, the guys who built that class car are still going! Is durango struggling? Who knows..! But the lack of the above says to me that a young (but good) company like durango could be showing signs of struggling in this current climate. Just another opinion.

Default Go CAT

I was years ago(22) a shumy man, having had all the others i prefered the cat....
back now for 3 month, got a cougar and an SX3.

LOVE them. I was torn between the rest but went shumacher and never looked back, back up from them is awsome and the spares and help are easily got from everywhere.

Handles great, sits well and plenty of power with the right electrics.

Go for it!!!!
