Hey longnose :-) Are you going to have one for Köngen already? I managed to get in for 2WD and am first nachrücker for 4WD. Funny the paint job would be the German flag Wonder if that has anything to say |

Looks like it's the mixed views that i think most of us were expecting. I have to admit, i like the shell, i said that when i first saw it - and that was with the paint job that isn't quite as nice as this one!! (only a few people will know what that means!!)

Like the saying goes.
' Don't Judge a book by its cover ' ... those rear "CVDs" sure look different . I say patience guys . wait till you see it w/o the body.

interesting it looks like there might be a molded chassis under that undertray the way the step is contoured. is it my imagination or can you see some stuff where the body and undertray meet at the front.. could just be a trick of the light.

Is it me or do the shocks look very short, especially the fronts, it might just be the colours breaking it up and playing tricks on my eyes.
I quite like the shell though, the wing looks odd, but the car looks cool, bit fat though |

I dunno what to say, I am neither whooooa, and I am not ewwww, I will admit that the shell is out of proportion and nothing a good paint job can't compensate for. But really, I don't see ANY problems why they couldn't take a naked pic or two either, to show layout and component positions though.
At least there are pics though.... hope they aren't using the same people that make the Mi3 driveshafts to make the SX driveshafts though!

Reminds me of a Tamiya, especially with the ugliest body I've ever seen. I hope to god that the body doesn't have to be that shape to clear gears or whatever, that way a new body can be made that doesn't look like a reject from Tyco (did you guys have Tyco over there?) in the 80s.
The car itself sure looks indestructible. Everything's incredibly thick. Shock towers, shock mounts, arms look thicker than normal to me, wing mounts, etc. What is with the wing mounts? Are they just designed to be super adjustable and super strong?

Don't know if this has been posted elsewhere but i've just got this off the MK-Racing web site:
The limited information on the spec that we have been given by Schumacher is as follows: 4wd transmission using 3 belts Changable internal drive ratio's of 2.2:1 / 2.4:1 / 2.6:1 Motor rotates it the same direction as the wheels Clamp type motor mount Narrow chassis (approx 100mm wide) with 4/2 saddle pack slots Carbon fibre chassis & towers Alloy transmission cases Rev-lite wheels & Schumacher tyres Lee, from the front the shocks do appear fairly short, but one of the other pics from the rear, makes them look a more normal length. We'll have to wait and see..... |

I don't think that is strictly true now is it. First fitted to the Topcat and Procat. The CAT had pianno wire

The crachback front end had the A-arms and shock attached to the car over a hinge and were kept together with rubber bands. Brilliant system. You could smack it into things and your car would just bend back into shape... |
