I don't "remember it" as in seeing them on the road, but yeah, this one has fascinated me since I was a teenager. Also, the turbine car that dominated Indy only to have a mechanical failure at the end.

I drove a mild brushless Cougar re-re in my backyard, which would not be noteworthy if it wasn't the first time in many months that I drove anything anywhere apart from brief tests.

Are you planning to paint it orange, perchance?

Never heard of these guys before... pretty solid track. itg6kgijKUY Pointless but true story: I very nearly bought a 63 Fairlane that was owned by the singer. He had sold it on (I assume he moved up scale with the band's success). When I saw it, it had deteriorated a bit from when he had it, but st...

Drooled over this one....

use front wheels in the rear too… My greatest discovery in RC was when I put CAT 2000 fronts on the rear of my Cougar 95 for stock class racing. :lol: It didn't matter because my driving sucked so bad, but I felt the way Costin and Duckworth must have felt when they built the first DFV :twisted: Ba...

I struggle just ripping the NIP bags open.

I also use an Optivisor with the LED light kit on it, which makes seeing the cut line in the lexan so much easier while scoring. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51TUVzG9O1L._AC_SL1000_.jpg :shock: Whoa! Holy crap, you guys are serious! I didn't even know that Ultraviolet Lexan trimming headsets...

We did go off the rails pretty quickly. About 5 posts ago this was about trimming Lexan.

I like this one, too. Thanks for posting. If not for my inability to paint, I would have a replica or two of this paint scheme.

To me this represents the ultimate expression of the original series. Although it doesn't share a lot of parts with the CAT, XLS, or Pro CAT, the overall design philosophy was the same. Last of the "pillow ball" CATs.

I never had one bitd, but I do now

This is me with a new Xacto

What model of Schumacher is this? Does it look like an off road model that has had on road tires added and body mounts added? . 1000010225.png Hopefully Alex or Retro RC can chime in with a good answer. It looks like a Pro CAT to me because it has the Top CAT style rear suspension and the XLS style...

Apart from a basher and a crawler, my collection is all Schumacher. I would keep a Top Cat, an XLS, and another Top Cat.

Have I ever mentioned that I like Top Cats?
