Hmm, one of my fondest race memories was of the Ranch Red 100, '95 I think. I was running 2wd expert stock. Ended up qualifying 3rd in the A but my motor let go in the main. Marcus (the announcer at the time) was making fun of me on the straights as cars would leave me in the dust. I was able to fin...

Impossible to define in regard to the hobby since it has no relation what so ever. I use 20 years as my personal cutoff.

My poor neglected SX3 Pro Ran the 410r (v1) prior to this and prefer the Cat. Like most of the Schumachers lately, it didnt last long before being replaced with a new model

Astroflight -05. Cant remember the specs anymore but they were pretty impressive.

I have the SX3; it was a nice build. The shocks were super easy to bleed too. Not sure what they did different but they perfect first try.

I sure like building high Tamiyas. Fit and finish is always top notch.

Only motors I remember boasting 100k rpm were the drag motors with "rare earth magnets;" Astroflight anyone

I've never been a Mamba fan either. The Gen2 Tekin is very nice but I absolutely love the Viper VTX10r I'm running in the 4wd buggy and if for some absurd reason I decided to go EP with a 1/8 vehicle (gives me shivers just thinking about it :lol: ), I would start with the VTX8 :). Both offer very go...

The 3 belt is a pain in the butt to maintain sometimes (changing front belts makes me want to stab kittens in the face!). Drivetrain just never seems to be as free as I think it should be. Did you have to change belts ony after 3 meetings? :shock: The reinforced belts werent in stock when I ordered...

Little bit later down the road but 10t doubles were my favorites. Peak Performance had a 10x2 with lay down brushes that was one of my favorite motors of all time (thought it was the Nightmare but that was a 27t).

I currently race a K1 and SVR on our dirt track. Before the K1 I had an SX3. All 3 cars are very well made, I always get guys at our track wanting to look at the cars. I'm sure you'll have a great time with the SX, just know up front they do require a little bit more maintenance that 2wd cars. How ...

My first Schumacher was the SX3 Pro and the fit and finish was quite nice. The shocks where a breeze to bleed and where very smooth. I raced it a whole 3 times... Been sitting collecting dust for almost a year now. I too was impressed with the build quality and the car works well enough, just not ma...

I was going to send some more ballcups and ballstuds but I guess I had used them all already in my build.

Quite alright, I was super happy to get the pair of ballcups! The ones on my car are all chewed up so it was a welcomed surprise. Thanks again

Had a B&R Bullet in mine that I absolutely loved. Probably my most favorite stock motor until the Peak Performance Beast came out years later. Had some Race Preps that I liked but nothing as much as the B&R.

Edit: on the mod front, I mostly had Twisters.

They made it all the way out to Okinawa Japan today And there were even a couple bonus items; thanks a bunch!
