[quote="uzzi"]This drive train was very complicated to understand and was an absolute pig to set up as the belts had to be tensioned correctly. Thanks for the heads up. I think I am going to try and keep it completely original and keep this set up I'm really glad that other CAT and non cat...

Here are two excerpts from my instruction manual. I will happily scan the whole thing if anyone needs it. Im not sure if it is any different from others, but if you need it, let me know and I can do a pdf.

The white spur gear is 48p replacement for the original 32p gear included with the XLS cars. The spur gears you have with no holes are for a later version of the car (procat) with a simplified transmission. The white gear uses the balls as shown, and is part of the differential and drive assembly. ...

If You´re planning on joining the BST section, we can have a word about them there :) Very nice jo on the shock, did You do the rest? Working on the rest right now, except 3 are from the XL but one is completely different (internal wise) it has extra seals and a brass collar. Hopefully I can join t...

New to this site, and enjoying it as much as rebuilding buggys and bikes. This was my ride, it took 3 weeks to complete, and the finishing touch were the Pro Class bars. They arrived on my birthday, they were fitted, I went for a ride, i parked the bike up outside a bagel store and when I came out t...

Ha, looks like I will have to start visiting Danish hobby shops. Hopefully overtime some will pop up on ebay.

Got bored of cleaning, so I decided to take things apart, and even though I have the original instructions (which make no sense at all) and I am starting to get a little lost. Along with the car I recieved a bag of spares, which I can not find any reference to in the instructions...... The image wi...

Now I am starting to find some real problems. So i think my front diff is the optional extra assembly....like I said I, think, just because it looks like it has the T084 axle fitted. I daren't take it apart because one way clutches for the front transmission are connected to some plastic cup things ...

So far I have learnt that the only RC store in Brooklyn doesn't stock anything that will help me rebuild this cat......not even shock oil. Everything is oversized, carbon graphite, Lipo and purple I have no idea where I am going to get the complete self tapping and stainless screw set, or even anyth...

Day 2 and from what I can see, it isn't too bad. Needs a damn good clean though.

Its not going to be any sort of shelf queen and in fact I think Im going to run it, but I will keep it as original as possible.

26 years ago, I drooled over the review of the Schumacher CAT XL in RCMC during my Physics lesson and subsequently got kicked out of the class. It was the only car I wanted. That christmas I received a Tamiya Lunchbox. Finally I actually own one, though not as shiny and missing a fair few pieces, it...
