Schumacher CAT SX3 1/10th Competition 4WD

[jimmy]

Schumacher Racing have announced their stunning new 4WD 1/10th off-road buggy - the new SX3, an evolution in the design of the hugely popular SX buggies that saw the team return to off road competition. The new car features a revised drivetrain that sees the motor move to a true mid layout.

The new CAT SX3 follows on from the highly successful CAT SX range. Stronger and more durable than ever before! An all new mid-motor design with central lipo battery positioning offers fantastic balance, control and agility. Jumping like the Pro's is made super easy with the new compact layout and corresponding motor/wheel rotation. Awesome acceleration and straight line speeds are still achieved.

With the inclusion of the excellent large capacity big bore shocks, high down force MAX sized rear wing and new cool body the CAT SX3 remains the market leader.

Designed to race, designed to win! The CAT SX3.
