Schumacher is set to release their re-designed CAT SX-3 Pro 4wd buggy kit in early May. The new kit features a long list of improvements, and could be just what Schumacher needed to get back on top!

The Re-Designed CAT SX3 follows the tradition of the highly successful CAT SX platform, only stronger and more durable than ever before! With a mid-motor design that centralizes the battery positioning, the CAT SX3 offers fantastic balance, control and agility. Additionally, the compact layout and corresponding motor/wheel rotation makes jumping like the Pro's easier than ever before! With other features that include large capacity big bore shocks, a high down force MAX sized rear wing and a redesigned body, the CAT SX3 holds its position as a leader in the 4wd market. The CAT SX3 was designed to race and designed to win!
