Bon jour Jaune,

Don't feel so bad, my Schumacher was the first Cat at the track last year! Now, there are 4 or so, and counting. The Cat just needed a little exposure and support. Now everyone asks me so many questions about the car and always wants to try it out for a few laps. This summer I will be making my way up to Ottawa to train with your local legend, Jean-Yves Theriault, and I would like to hit some of the tracks in the Ottawa. I will also be going to the Montreal area and go to moth898's local track. I am going to make a long weekend out of it.

Thats cool. If we can help with setups let me know. We have the SX on the track now, also we are big into vintage stuff too. Procat, Bosscat, Cat2000, Cougar 2000, and Storm 2000 are our cutoff vintage rides. I have owned all of them at one time or another, sometimes a few at a time.

As for the cost of the two kits for what you get, the big bores alone are going to be cost difference, then the carbon and Ti are free. The price of the K111 kit is going to be just above the cost of a Kyosho RB5SP, give or take 30-35.00 USD. Juane, if you need a kit let us know. We can always ship it to you.

BTW, I asked about Dirttrax, because I used to race for chassis manufacture from Ottawa, his company name was Dirttrix, Paul was his name. Do you know him?

Moth898 I won't go at st-poly this weekend, we have an off-road race saturday and on-road on sunday!!! But We should go back soon for sure!

t.o. rob good stuff, Off-road electric is getting better and better over here. It will be worth the drive! I just got a B44 in a deal so I'm giving it a try while i'm out of parts for the cat. But Its not the end, the schuei is so nice... I'm actually looking at getting a Mi4 if parts availability is good enough!

Hi Raul, Yeah I remember racing onroad with the Tardiffs (DIRTTRIX) when I started racing, they were making a lot of nice stuff for the on-road car. Our faster guy was racing Dirttrix mission at that time!

Raul, We havent seen them around for the past 3 years I don't think they race anymore.

Moth, Have a look at www.rcottawa.com in the indoor off-road section for more info about dirttrax. It would be good to have you around!

Now to be back on topic, I'm glad you guys will carry and support schumacher's product in the US! Hopefully it will be easy to deal with you from Canada!

No, I havent been yet. Still need some stuff to hit the track. I was originally planning to start at Paydirt this summer. With a new house, a new car and my son in daycare my RC budget is $0. I may come out on a practice day to check it out and meet the guys but until I can scrape up a ESC/BL, Lipo charger and pit table I will just be watching.

I hear ya...this hobby has gotten crazy expensive in the past 12 years since I last bought anything. You need at least $1500 in cars,motors,batteries and other equipment just to start. At least there is more support for racing via internet sites like this one.
