Parma Cheetah and Bobcat- A mighty handful!

Post by GoMachV »

Ok, been after these for a while and found them new in box. Well, the bobcat was started I think- not positive if it was factory or by the owner. Either way, here they are. What a cut little msc!

Sorry man, V12 wanted em too

They will go well with my panthers. Funny, Parma had lots of "cat" names like bobcat, cheetah, panther....and they were the importer for the Schumacher Cat and Top Cat. Just a coincidence?

Those are cool! I love the clear "boxes." I've seen a Cheetah, but I've never even heard of the Bobcat. I guess with Parma's slot-car roots, a 1/24 scale RC car is just a natural idea. I'll bet with that tiny wheelbase and the battery up so high, it truly is "a real handful" to drive.

I would agree. It looks pretty easy to copy so there may be a clone running around at some point. No mechanical speed control tho, that thing looks crazy!
