Good job again prp! Send us more and bigger pics even when the car is not ready yet! Is the V-shape battery chassis self made modification or hot up part from Schumaher?

Hi,

The chassis is the V shape, it's a handmade from 2x3 chassis, but it was an hop up from Schumacher.

For the sway bar for now nothing... :( on the b.

Schumacher didn't envisage the XLS using the rear sway bar like they did for the SWB and the XL. So to fit one isn't true to the original XLS manual. However, I don't know whether Jamie Booth used a rear sway bar for his XLS. I'd be surprised if he did though. The XLS manual does envisage the front sway bar and these do come up occasionally on Ebay (quite often listed as a Pro-Cat part but they are the same) so just keep you eyes open...

Here is a pic of Jamie's car from that EFRA GP race and it seems like he used sway bars at least in front and probably in rear also.

Yes it's like this one,the rear sway bar is a bit tortured, he use the rear sway bar the morning when the track is wet...
I put the receiver between the saddle pack...

Hey. I have almost that exact chassis. I bought it from you about year or two ago. So it's been about halfway around the world. Who made those? I cant wait to finish building mine one day.

hi there,

I have attached three pictures of Jamie's car from 88/89. The pictures are from the UK nationals but it looks like the shell is the one from the magazine article.

I hope these help,

Luke
