I agree with 99% of what chris is saying there and it is the sensible option, its like a marriage, first you look after it, possibly want to shag it and spend time with it, then once you know it you do enough to keep it happy and ticking over and then you see the newest latest and greatest out there then comes the divorce, you get bored fancy a dabble and eventually results decline and you have to move on.

Having said that the aero was like a one night stand, you use it a lot in a short space of time and realise its not happening.

Being serious though, some cars you can drive well and just not be fast.

I do agree about sticking with one, and I was careful to say things other than speed in what I'm looking for too, I know it takes ages to get the most out of one, it's more strength/ease of use, what they're like to build/fettle, how long belts/diffs last etc! Then whatever I stick with I'll then work on speed with! I've not got the thumb skills to win anyway so weirdly speed is not my top priority, as long as it is basically sound!

Then, whenever there's a new Tam I'll just use that anyway, rendering all this pointless!

Anyway, off topic, any news on a release date?

I heard last night it's late September / early October now.

Sorry to say but I cancelled my order and bought a Durga. Didn't like letting down the chap I placed the order with but I couldn't keep waiting, let alone find the extra £200!

Madness! Went to get a Lipo pack today and some bits and pieces to find my model shop has spares for the CAT SX. Fantastic... I need spares for a car which you can't get hold of.

I think Modelsports date is a little late. Schumacher had a manufacturing error on a component so there is basically a couple of weeks delay until this is sorted. Everything else is all ready to go apparently.

I seriously can not wait to get my CAT SX. I was excited thinking I would get it last week but then there was this error. Ah well, I'd rather have a well made car than one with flaws. I will try and get my review done as soon as I get the car

p.s. M-K-Racing is £10 cheaper than Modelsport. It's the cheapest place to buy a CAT SX from.

I had a missed call & voicebox message on my mobile from Apex Models yesterday...got all excited and couldn't press the buttons fast enough to call them back only to merely be asked if I wanted the normal or Lipo chassis when the kit is finally released!
