Re: Club 10 Racer

Only 22 days to get it ready :) The car and parts were relatively clean but I took it all apart and gave everything a good scrub the usable chassis had hard glue residue which needed sanding down this meant the anodizing was scrubbed of in places, inspired by past projects I have seen on this forum ...

Re: ProCat - Restoring to Race

Based on my experience of The Iconic revival and other such events, modern turnbuckles will not be a problem - rules are generally relaxed towards upgrades in the interests of reliabilty or availabilty - for instance, you regularly see modern shocks and 3D printed parts used, so long as the buggy m...

Re: Craig Drescher's 1995 Finland 4wd Euros winning Cat 2000

Great job. Looking forward to the body off pics, should the motor plate and heat sinks be red or purple in the EC I have both for my project but not sure which is correct?

Club 10 Racer

I'm entering two cars into the The Brett Davis Vintage GP at the end of month the Club 10 will be my 2wd entry. When I bought the chassis and spares in the first picture below I wasn't sure which model cougar it was, it was just listed as “Schumacher cars”. Upon inspection I think I'm correct in ide...

Re: ProCat - Restoring to Race

I made some progress on the car over Christmas. Still plenty to do but I should have all done in time for the Brett Davis Vintage GP :) The chassis had hard deposits of glue in several places but it cleaned up well with a fine grade sandpaper and solvents. I picked up of few carbon goodies for the r...

Re: ProCat - Restoring to Race

I have also sorted my front tansmission. And made another cool discovery, the Diff pulley from my original ProCat is an alloy upgrade part :mrgreen: Does anyone know who made it? I have been amassing spares over the last couple of months and have four different font differentials. I have have used p...

Re: ProCat - Restoring to Race

Progress report :D I have have decided to go with the standard Super Diff for now. I want to use my Alloy Rear Diff but it requires a bit more work to get it going. I discovered the steel washers were just glued to the washer carrier, no friction paper in sight, and the join has failed. I tried usin...

Re: ProCat - Restoring to Race

Hi, that's an interesting Procat you have there. The alloy transmission housings were made by a few companies. MMS, Wasp and a couple of others. I'm not sure which one yours is, but I've not seen one with a cut-out at the front like that before, so it may be one of the less common ones - or even a ...

Re: ProCat - Restoring to Race

I have found a few parts to repair and hopefully improve the car the first being an alloy rear diff apparently it was made by Schumacher? But I don't have any documentation to prove it. It looks in good condition and I will rebuild it with new bearings, but I do have a small concern in that it only ...

This is my ProCat. It was my third RC car and my favorite by miles, I was 13 when I bought it second hand from my LHS(sadly closed now) I have never raced I just ran it around my back garden and local parks. I hung up my RC hat at 14 after my King Cab went out of range and drove itself full speed in...

Re: Hi All From the States

I'm totally unbiased as an Englishman whose collection is mostly Schumachers :wink:
I would go for a k2 or k1 aero if in the market for something new.

Re: Hello RC10Talk I'm Chris

Hi Lotus74
I've never raced before but hope to go to the Brett Davis Vintage GP in January. I have a few cool cars now, so I just need to focus my efforts on making them race worthy.
