Re: Tips and tricks for buying a discontinued rere

The server here at work blocks the link to your picture, so I can't see which holes are misaligned. The battery holders for NiCad/NiMH cells are different on the ProCAT and XLS, so that may be what you are seeing. The ProCAT runs saddle packs whereas the XLS uses a stick pack running side to side. ...

Re: Tips and tricks for buying a discontinued rere

Yes, it is a drop in replacement. My ProCat re-re was built using Jeff's (Factory Works) XLS chassis. I kept the ProCat body and under tray, but could have used an XLS body and undertray had I wanted. can I still use the top deck of the procat with the bottom deck replacement of the xls? or should ...

Re: Tips and tricks for buying a discontinued rere

Just so I understand correctly.
Is the xls chassis a drop in replacement for the procat chassis? All the holes are there and all procat parts will fit out of the box to it?

Re: Tips and tricks for buying a discontinued rere

GoMachV terry.sc thanks for the help. i think I am done trying to find an XLS (had 2 chances and was outbid on both) and I might try your suggestion of a procat with a little XLS sprinkle. given the fact that the only thing in the XLS I really like (over the procat) is the boxy old school body, how...

which tools and materials are needed for a procat build?

Hi all; seems like there are several items and are out of the ordinary (at least for tamiya/kyosho) that are needed for cat builds and do not come in the box. I have seen the need for super glue (very odd as its a stiff material with almost no flex), RIM tool for making holes in the lexan? i have se...

Re: Can a single tamiya spray paint cover the whole body?

Hi all Where I live its hard to get a hold of the tamiya spray paint cans (or any lexan sprays). I managed to get a hold of 2 cans... (white and blue) I need to be very careful with the amount I use as these 2 cans need to be enough for 2 cars (1/10 avg body size) Would you guys say that a single s...
