Well another pic this time of my TOP CAT. I got this in a Trade with Jason ( Bormac) He put one of his classic paint jobs on it for me.( Thanks Jason ) It came with no shocks so i have mounted Yeah racing shocks. New J.C Racing Wheels. Will have Li Po saddels and a new Blubird digital servo. Still have a Little more to go but this will go well with my PRO CAT that also came from Bormcs's stabel.
I know you put alot of time into the paint job. I will be running it assoon as i get the electrics for it. It's slowly getting there. After this your Pro Cat will be next.
Mark you realy have to send me another set of those blue Option House type shocks. I can srtip the blue and polish them for you. They work very well and would make a perfect 'period' upgrade from the original Cat shocks.
You know you want to and besides they'll look right.
Beautiful. As a teenager I ran one in the chicagoland area and did fairly well on a local level. It was a competitor but my budget was not up to the top guys of course. The car was given to me by Cecil Schumacher at the Hobby Expo show here. It may have been one of the first years Schumacher was here as I remember and I worked at a hobby show who also had a booth. I showed interest in the car, explained I worked at shop and my racing schedule and almost fell over when he offered it to me.
I would love to find another one day as mine disappeared a long time ago.
The Cougar is the same car (sans) front end and body sheel and wing. If you had an original Cougar you could very easily convert to a Topcat with the right parts.
OK thanks, sadly I lost my original Topcat many years ago I believe to a monster known as Trash. Who'd a thunk in 1992 I would be longing for it some day. Live and learn!
I have been track testing this for a while now with some very pleasing results so far. On its first run i was surprised how good it feelt to drive. Very smooth with fairly good steering. The 13t brushless was so good with strong acceleration and a...
Ive been trying to drive around the problem of a Topcat's inability to steer through tight sections of the race track. I had tried tyres, extra toe out and a narrower front end, the steering mod kit and a couple of other things but nothing made the...

The author was desapointed regarding Top Cat racer's perf. Due to a front lazy behaviour,
Yeah no doubt the Topcat's front suspension is not the cars strongest atribute. Personaly I think its the 'ratio' of the rocker arms that make for a weak...
I bought a Top Cat as soon as they were released back in 88 or 89. Some of you might remember those Schumacher ads with the towel over the car so you couldn't see it, but there obviously were no front shocks. It was to be my first real race buggy...
