As for the slipper, don't lock it up. You'll destroy your diffs. Regardless of them being geared.

Nearly all the team drivers locked this slipper up tight as it just couldn't be relied upon to last if it slipped. Silly, I know, but that's the case. As far as I know, the Caster's geared diffs are indestructible.

Your right about the kit servo. It's probably not too great. 3 Kilo only.

Yeah that's the one I've got v6jim, the white and red shell model, it says it comes with the new slipper but mine seems the same as the old one with internal adjustment, shall I go back to the shop and question this? Because on the box it came in it also says New latest slipper and shows an external adjustment and the pic is of the new one?

Hi. All seems a bit strange? Feel free to call Peter at Answer products on 0161 7621105 and ask him. He's the importer, will be able to answer your questions and is an all round good bloke.

Trouble is fitting the new slipper would require new front main driveshaft and possibly some other wee bits....

Let us know how it goes....

Jimmy

PS The body that comes with that kit is nice!

[jym watty]

Thanks v6jim, I will give him a ring tomorrow in office hours. It seems strange to me aswel but I'm sure it will be clarified soon, got to go to the shop tomorrow aswel anyway as I've ordered a set of wheels and tires as the stock tires turned to slicks after half a battery so I'm getting some harder compound tyres and wheel set for a ftx vantage which fit straight on. Yeah the body is really nice, reminds me of my Schumacher swift nitro buggy I had as it's the same colour scheme

[V6Jim]

The stock tyres are good for compacted clay and not much else! Get a set of Schumacher Green Mini Spikes or something. They are pretty useful on lots of surfaces.

Are the green mini spikes a hard compound? Rang Pete at answer and he said it was strange it came with the old slipper and its getting changed for the new 1 so very happy! Thanks v6jim for the info.

Depends what you are running on. If its indoors the greens are hopeless. Greens suit wet grass/astro etc. For an all round tyre you can use indoors and out, go for Schumacher Yellow mini spikes. Yellow mini pins can also be used but they can be a bit unforgiving at times.

Just ordered some yellow mini spikes, thanks for the info discothesnake

I may be going back to the Caster SK10 in the next few weeks. I will find out on Friday. Anyone know when the V3 is due in the UK? Is it already out?

There is one chap up here (Scotland) who has one. He bought it from Rick Jenkins in America.

They are very few and far between at the moment! Having said that, it is possible to buy a V2 and fully upgrade it to V3 spec. It's easy!

Mine is a secondhand V2 and is now a v2.75! (Just need the Big Bore shocks).

You might want to call Peter at Answer (01617621105) if you want a full V3 Kit.

The V3.

[SamRCRacing]

Right, looks like I am going for the caster, anyone know the RRP for the V3?

Sam

[V6Jim]

Should be in the £220 - £250 bracket. Are Answer getting it for you?

Jimmy

[SamRCRacing]

Pete said they are available, thats all I know at the moment, may have it Saturday. Will have to wait and see .

[V6Jim]
