cat sx

[sldmodels]

I just bought myself a Cat SX of ebay, should have it by the end of the week. Can anyone recommend any good clubs for off-road in the Stafford / Staffs area or near, and what might be a good starting setup?

Simon mosses setup is the latest on the schumacher site for carpet which is about right to be honest, way want to run losi oils on it instead and go abit stiffer on the the oils depending on how much steering you want!

Any other surface other than carpet get rid of the roll bars!

I'm used to running on-road cars, and off-road micros, so don't know which motor to put in this. I've read some people putting in 5 and 6 turn brushless motors in their car, which seems really scary from my point of view when I've been running 10.5 and 13.5 in a touring car.

Can anyone let me know what a good starting point would be? Not sure what speedo I might use, but I'm looking at getting a HOBBYWING XERUN Blue V2 Brushless Motor 60A to put in my TC, and taking the SPX from that to put in my Cat.

Am I better buying the pre-glued wheels & tyres, (yellow mini pins for Ardent) or glueing them up myself?

I got some pre-glued for my SXII at the last worksop meeting and i was pretty impressed to how well they were glued on :thumbsup:

I was expecting them to roll straight off the wheels but they were really good, would recommend :thumbsup:

Dunno what spur is init, but I bought it of an oopler, but anyone know what gearing to use with a Novak 10.5?
