Daniel Rowlands Trinity Cat XLS Replica Tribute Car Built from a NIB re re Cat XLS with love and passion as its hop ups. Dan had entered a XLS into the Revival 2017 and I along with Kevin Bishop and John, the race organiser wanted to make sure a Cat was entered and run in his name. With only 7 days ...

That's so cool, Any ideas if that's what Jamie's 89 worlds Topcat looked like as I need to finish this off http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa250/jdsmiffy/IMG_4179_zps4r1p1cka.jpg I know it was pink but I can't find a clear photo of it. I would be interested in a set of those decals though :D http...

Great write up Iain Don't blame me from not sleeping on Saturday night Dan! My XLS only managed 5th in the B final. I much preferred driving my other XLS the year before which although wasn't reliable drove lovely with old cells and a brushed motor. This years car with lipo and a 10.5t in it didn't ...

Just regarding bearings, take a look at this shot. The bearings setup is very different. Older type trans housing on the left has a 12mm opening and a 'shoulder' which suits the smaller flanged bearing, whereas the later housing on the right is larger to suit the non-flanged 16mm (wheelbearing type...

The biggest issue I ve found is finding someone that does the self tappers with a blunt end (type B) and most self tappers come with points (type AB) which are no good for a Schumacher purest,

Thanks for the comments guys, I sort of agree with you Jason. The SWB Cat looks a bit odd compared to the XLS. Looks like it will roll over into the first corner if I was gonna race it!

Nearly a year on from starting to build this (god knows how many years to find the parts) I ve finally finished my SWB

Main belt has 298 teeth instead of the normal 323, so you ll need to find a 80/298/4 I think there is a company in the US that does them. The links in this forum somewhere!!!

Very nice indeed, I know the pain of trying to finish a SWB Cat. I ve only just finished mine today too.





Mine has Jays repro body set on and a TBG rear wing.

Is this the part you need?

Jason, it that one of my old chassis? Paint looks good.

Yay at last I ve got a spare 10 minutes to post some updates to my SWB CAT. When I first start to project I was going to make this a runner however after finding and sourcing some more NIP parts I decided to take it apart and start again and make it a shelf queen instead :) Picture 1: New found NIP ...
