Schumacher CAT SX3-S1 1/10 4WD Off Road Buggy Kit
First kit built by my teenaged daughter (with my supervision and a little help). Great instructions, as I expected having built other Schumachers before. Car was a pleasure to assemble and is a blast to drive! We put the bando belts in right from the start as they are supposed to be bullet proof (thanks RCTech pro drivers for the tip). We watch drivers (of the other popular brand) break while we continue to drive our SX3s (I have a CF Pro) like we stole them with no issues at all! Just make sure you install the belt tightening/loosening eccentrics correctly since the instructions confused us.... dots (on both eccentrics) either go toward front or rear... you'll know what I mean when you get to that step. No real hopups other than the belts needed. But there's an infinity of tuning options/parts/kits available which I love!!! I have 2 SX3s, one (my daughter's as well) is set up for smooth surfaces, while the other has the wide track rearend kit and the rear shock conversion installed for bumpy/loose surfaces. Stop looking at the other brands and get the purple and gold (the colors of ROYALTY btw)!!!
