Have to say that I loved the CAT SX and once I got a set-up that suited me, I would only change a washer here and there and change the rear oil by 2.5wt. I found it to be very reliable and have to say never stripped a spur gear in two years of running the same basic car.

As the team have said, they feel the SX3 is more planted and easier to drive - the SX on the other hand was nimble and incredibly quick when changing direction. When Grant started using the lead under the chassis on the SX, this helped to slow down the reaction making the car a lot easier to drive and this became a great tuning tool. For someone of my age and lack of skill, I found more lead was better. Grant ran less.

I reckon that with the changes incorporated into the SX3, at least Grant won't need to carry so much lead from now on...

Lack of skill!.......... Don't put yourself down Matt!! Lol

Im sure most racers would like the skills you have on the sticks!

As for the Cat SX3, looks like it will be a winner! Schumacher have a great driver line up. It's another new car out there and with new cars coming out (any brand) it has a good effect on the class in general!

Us racers have never been so spoilt for choice!

10th off road is where it's at!

Any official launch date yet, rather than just "Spring 2011"?
