and the only reason you have had to, is that it is a car designed with NiMH cells in mind, the SV should of hopefully been designed, weight distribution and total, with LiPo in mind.

Also, just out of curiosity, if the motor was in the rear, you couldn't argue about it being the only mid motor kit, and although it is the first manufactured kit, with mid motor, it is still a NIB kit, not a conversion.

If it wins races (and it clearly does) people will buy it, whatever it costs. Thats how Durangos and TRF's sell - some people have very deep pockets and will pay whatever it costs to have the best car going.

I'm pretty sure if you produced a totally no expense spared, every piece hand made by stunning dusky maidens (with engineering degrees) at NASA super machine, which you then gave to Ellis Stafford (who promptly wins every round of the nationals with it) and then offered it for sale at £1000 you'd sell a lot more than you might first think.

But not to me cos I'm broke........

I cant beleive all of the moaning going on here about somthing you havnt seen yet?, Correct me if im wrong but are there any photos from under the shell?

Looking at the CAT SX it has bucket loads of alloy and carbon fibre which comes at a cost..

I agree, yea its just a kit but with price comes quality and clearly performance from the first outing? I dont mean to sound like a dooche saying this or mean for it to come accross awful or anything but ive not noticed Simon that high up in 2wd for a little while so the car clearly works very well. Watching the video of the car go round Robin Hood Raceway it actually seems to perform like no other 2wd ive ever seen moove around a track and i dont think its just hype of a new car, it actually looks VERY planted.

Schumacher aren't the biggest company out there and machining costs on CNC machined parts, carbon composite, die's for injection molding are huge. What would you prefer, a cheap buggy now but no spare support and no products in the future?
