Hello

I am very happy to find a forum dedicated to the Radical brand.
I am in France and my name is Benoit, 46 years old.
My little story: I was very athletic but unfortunately my body decided otherwise, so here I am looking for another activity!
For 2 months, I have owned a 2019 SR3 RSX, 1500 engine.I bought this car from Radical Iberia in Malaga Spain

I share with you my first laps in the Radical, I was not behind the wheel but I was convinced by the potential of the car.

Hi @benoitm, Welcome to the Forum!  I am looking forward to hearing about your car.  What chassis number is it?

Hello
This is chassis SR301226.
Unfortunately for me, the project starts badly.
I broke the gearbox, after only 2 hours of driving....

Salut, Benoit and congratulations on the car.  Sorry to hear about the gearbox after only 2 hours and hope you get it sorted!

Hi all
I'll let you know about my problem.
The engine was completely disassembled to find that two bearings of the gear box shaft are destroyed.
After checking the other engine parts, it needs to be replaced, nothing is usable.
Radical Iberia, who sold me the car, assumes and replaces the engine.
I am lucky to have the help of AquaRossa (Radical Switzerland and France) to move forward.

I just regret not being able to ride, winter will soon arrive here....

After months of waiting, I will finally receive my new engine.
With a surprise bonus, it will be a bit special
