Little Ben had one built for the F3's.


I think someone forgot yo put pistons in the shocks or something :lol:

I have some concerns though, does it state phil will build every car himself? and would you really want your car to be a friday afternoon car? (im not saying phil would pay less attention, but im sure i would if it was my 30th kit that week)

Also how long would it take to build one from scratch (4 hours maybe) that works out at £5 an hour, would you really have your chief engineer doing this. i wouldnt.

I think i would rather build my cars myself, i know what to do when thigs go wrong then or if i have changed something.

[blitzboy]

just goes to show that ben checks his car

[DCM]

I think we have to realise, Mr Booth himself doesn't build them, but a team of highly trained, crack, erm, housewives build them, according to Mr Booth's specification!!

[Lee]

Thats what i thought, just didnt want to say it if it wasn't true.

I suppose it beats cockling :woot:

[Southwell]

When you build cars in pre assembled form there will be a production line, not one person building one kit, that would be stupid.

I suppose it beats cockling :woot:

Ouch :lol: Trust Lee to be the harshest.

[Chrislong]

Im intrigued to find out what setup the cars will have on them from the box. As I hope it isn't the setup from the manual build instructions.

bk in the day phil used to build the cars himself! people would quite happily pay more for a booth car :woot:

From Red RC

First up is the LiPo Phil Booth signature version, which has been fully assembled by the legendary maker of champions Phil Booth.

If Phil is doing it himself thats NUTs!

[martin]

Approved text for the website. I think this is a clearer statement of what is happening.

Cat SX - LiPo Phil Booth Signature Version - These cars are fully assembled in England by Schumacher Staff under the expert guidance of legendary builder of champions cars Phil Booth. Phil assembled the original Cat that took Masami Hirosaka to World Championship fame as a youg man and has been building winning cars ever since. These cars come with Phil Booth set up and ready to win so make a perfect gift for any aspiring champion. Body still requires painting to your own design plus installation of the electronics of your choice. Cars include race springs and Speed Secret option parts for suspension geometry so are ready to win with no further option parts.

I can see a market for this...
Those who have been in the hobby long enough wont need to know the build inside out as they know the cars inside out in essence. I agree that its not as good as building it yourself in terms of building the knowledge base and is not ideal for someone getting into the hobby.

Personally I would prefer it prebuilt as I never have time to to actually enjoy the build and it becomes a chore...

Building a car is something i always look forward to :thumbsup:

Maybe i should apply for a job with Schumacher, and get paid for it :thumbsup:

I did some work experience at Modelsport about 20 years ago....

Building cars for other people isn't much fun really.

[Southwell]

Im always sceptical at car which will be thrown together as quickly as possible. I like to have the chance to build them slowly, make sure everything is 100% before it hits the track. Not everyone wants to have the bother of building a car, i personally enjoy it.

[Chrislong]

Well I was thinking of getting a new car for when summer comes - think this has just made my mind up :thumbsup:

I do really like building cars though, for my self - not for other people.

I bought my CATsx a couple of weeks ago and I had a vintage buggy meet down south so haven't had the chance to build it till today. It wasnt a real hassle getting it together and everything was pretty straight forward just opening one bag at a time in sequence. I'll paint her up tomorrow and fit the electrics so i can take it for a test run at the track this weekend. Cheers-Jason (Australia)

[Colinevan]

Very intrigued on this kit..

Has anyone purchased one at all. I must admit i love building my cars, but a pre built kit, thats built with a good std of workmanship and with a good setting dialled in , is an abso bonus for me, as i havn't a clue on setting a car up.:blush:

Im curious though, to hear if it is like what chris said, and comes pre assembled with the std setup... i dont fancy no outdrives snapping.

Col.

[DaveG28]

Same question, does anyone know what the setup is?

[Colinevan]

Same question, does anyone know what the setup is?

Hi Dave, i actually bought one now.. Its the Vintage frog scheme one that you can see in the pics elsewhere lol. It comes setup with a few differences so that it limits the chance of outdrive failure. This was confirmed by Phil. It has longer rear turnbuckles ,the shorter camber link bar ( hence longer turnbuckles) proper silver and red springs as chose by team drivers. and obviously it is built to the setup that the team drivers use and not supposedly what is in the manual, as this can lead to outdrive failures. I chose it as is pre setup, diffs are properly built and the shocks are silky smooth. Im sure there will be a setup sheet provided soon for it. Thanks Col.

[martin]

Attached is the setup sheet specified by Phil Booth for the Building of the Booth Spec cars.

[Colinevan]

Can't get any better than that. Thanks. Col.

[martin]

the front turnbuckle length is 53mm not 60mm. Sorry!:D

[DaveG28]

Getting very tempted by one of these!
