sx3 has to be one of the best out there at the minuet, very strong fast and reliable, and the parts back up is second to none

Sorry Red but I have to disagree strongly. I had the worst reliability with both of my SX3's The 410V3 is fast out of the box and strong as hell also reliable. Gets my vote. If I wasn't running that I'd be Laser FS2 Sp

Just my 2p.

Tried a b44 , bmax and a durango , now im loving the Laser fs2 , excellent price as its just been reduced to 239 quid.

Alot depends on how you build it, i would say you built it to quick or wrong.

I have to agree with the parts backup but cannot give you an opinion concerning the sx3 as I don't own one. However, I have just bought the sx2 and my experience of the Schumacher Support is fantastic. I broke some parts when assembling the car and they explained where I went wrong and sent me some new parts free of charge! Very clued up helpful guys, just like BigRed here...

I don't know if you're still deciding, but I wanted to throw in my 2p about the Schuey kit.

Quality of parts and manufacturing oozes from every pore, however, the design is mostly stupid, bordering on the ridiculous. Look at the diffs for example - antiquated, inefficient design.

Reliability is a little patchy too. However, when the diffs aren't trying to rebuild themselves, and the shocks can hold together, and the layshaft is not giving you woes, it's awesome. As Jeremy Clarkson said about Alfa's "it's as best as a car can be. Briefly".

Keep an eye on it, and it'll serve you well. Just don't break anything, it's flippin expensive!

The ansmann isn't any where near!
B44.1!
Nothing else I'd own at the moment for performance and reliability and ease of use and work on it etc

[Jamesk]

Id say Trf 511, handles a dream and good levels of grip.

jK

[hotrodchris]

1/10th wise i'd back the Durango 410V3 good quality handles well as well, a lot are running the 511 though

[thaiboxer]

thanks but defo going 1/10th thats where i started 25 years ago just need pointing in the right direction also need a idiots guide to brushless as last i raced 1/10th my pfo cat had a 15 double in it

4wd either a 6.5 or 5.5 speed passion with a decent esc the 120 amp hobbywing are good quality at a resonable price, or look for INIX on the bay if on a tight budget to start with 60 pounds delivered, got one in my 2wd and no issues so far. Then theres the batteries there is a lot of choice out there and the most expensive is not always the best you want 4000 to 5000 mah and generally the higher the C rating the better most important a good quality servo!

[TARTMAN]

yeah thats the better choice, plenty of clubs and more popular from what i can tell(only been back 4 months after 22 years away myself).

I run an SX3 and a cougar.

Love schumacher and there back up is awsome.

durango is a great car to as is the B44 and the many others.

Go to your local track and see what you like the look of is best, thats what i did and went for the scumy clan..... Its what i was racing 22 yrs ago when i left the scene.

Welcome back to the better side, if not the dark side lol...........

[thaiboxer]

Any good clubs Manchester way ??
