Top Cat Memories...

[LosiXXkid]

Most of the gearbox if aftermarket, the trans case is a Schumacher option, the rest is either MMS or Wasp.

I also have the Wasp high torque gearbox waiting for me to find something to attach it to.

Great, thanks! The memories keep coming back

I also remember having to get a spur gear adapter so that I could run the orange coloured 48dp spur gears that were made by......? ......what was that company called? The header cards were orange in colour as well.

It's been a long time!

Funny though, I can still remember exactly how much I paid for my Novak T-4 esc........£74.95 .....a lot of money for me back then.

If you look again at the picture there's one of the spur adapters there too (the red thing)

They were made by RW Racing (Also known as SRM)

I have 2 nip RW spur adapters knocking around somewhere if you need 1

Thanks for the very kind offer but this is just a trip down memory lane. As much as I'd' love to find a 'project' Top Cat on eBay to tear-down and rebuild, the usual factors of time, money and space won't allow. Sadly.

Now, if I still had my original Top Cat, it could well be 'game on'!

RW and SRM are not the same.
RW made (and still makes) special parts for several cars, sold by them but also trough shops and OEM for international distributors.
SRM was a shop specialized for offroad racing. From what I remember the shop was owned by Bill Jones who was a very good driver also in the 80s. Some of the RW parts were exclusively made for them but I think early SRM parts maybe have been made by Nodis also. I think SRM don´t exist today.
