Re: Bosscat lower arm question

Yep, basically convert front shock towers back to XL spec by removing web under crashback lug.

Re: XL/XLS CAT or Original CAT SWB

I also noticed the sideplates and rear outer trans housing have only one hole, and this cannot be transformed in a XLS that need a second lower hole. https://i.ibb.co/Wv81QDK/one-hole-plate.jpg Still going in circles... An option would be to rebuild as an XL that also only had upper hole. They are ...

Re: Top Cat Build

All mine have a similar arrangement, though I don't fit the ones in the original location.

Re: Procat Anti Roll bar Position?

Belt is extremely close but I don't know if it actually touches. I've never had an issue with my CATs or Procats but I believe some run bar under top deck which might be a solution.

Only very gently - very satisfying to hear it going though. Pleased to report it's surprisingly fuel tight too.

Any clues as to how front of Panther shell was retained?

Re: Nitro 4x4 Panther

Good progress yesterday, electrics in, shocks rebuilt and on and all plumbed up. Throttle linkage still needs some work to remove unwanted slop, but otherwise ok. ....and for the 1st time in 20-odd years it's had a tank of fuel through it. Took some starting on a cold English evening with a bit of h...

Re: Nitro 4x4 Panther

Engine back in along with clutch and exhaust. A very tight fit that required removal of carburetor - I suspect that Schumacher originally fitted it through transmission much earlier during original assembly.

Re: Nitro 4x4 Panther

Belt covers and top deck in place. Lower belt cover is as Bosscat, so a replacement from Penguin RC was used. Upper one is unique so fragile original was cleaned up and refitted. Note unusual front moulding and dog leg upper deck to clear engine.

Re: Nitro 4x4 Panther

Small amount of progress made, everything cleaned up and rear transmission built up with fresh belts This is predominantly as the Bosscat including Pro diff but features a few unique parts. During stripdown it became clear that chassis has had a whack on the back at some stage which has bent tabs on...

Nitro 4x4 Panther

A recent addition, a Nitro 4x4. Bosscat based with engine and clutch from Nitro 10 range. Doesn't seem to be much info on these, so I thought it might be useful to document restoration . My plan is to rebuild it as a Panther buggy with a view to gently running it. Prior to strip, fairly complete inc...

Re: XLS re-release build.

Looks good, lots of boxarts and variants out there now (including mine), so it's nice to see something different.
