Sorry for the poor pictures but its late (in the UK) and the light is poor, will take better pictures tomorrow I hope Comments please, I ll leave you in suspense and post more info up later
Brilliant replica. Masami has all of his cars except the Stealth RC10s.
There are a few very MINOR decal and paint differences, including the World's ID tag. But DAYUM, that's a well-done car! I'm immensely impressed—whomever put that together did one helluva job.

Thanks for the picture BTW
He hasn't said that it is the real deal. No disrespect, but I would be surprised if it is the real thing, it is a piece of history..... it would be kinda like Gene Husting letting go of the proto or one of the Stealth cars, which would mean you would have to know someone and be EXTREMELY liked by that person or you would have to cut off all but one limb on your body to get it. If it is the real deal, we all here will want proof....... then we will bow down in front of the new King! At least I will.

Can anyone tell me whether the parts for the Schumacher Cat, Cat XL and Cat XLS are the same? Also, there appear to be various parts listed on EBAY with part numbers beginning with U. Does anyone know whether I can locate a list which sets out which...

Obvioulsy, that's an open invitation to anyone who can help me out with getting hold of NIP parts or a NIB kit..... :wink:
This one will take a little while since I'm lacking quite a lot of parts. Starting off with a bunch of parts I have left from all of these rere kits I've been throwing together.
So this one is going to be a modernized replica of Masami's car that...

It's interesting that the Masami 1993 car looks like a trimmed and tweaked production car and the earlier 1989 and 1991 are basically specialty prototypes.
The trick item for the 93 Worlds seems to have been the milled tub. Some guys had them,...
Anyone have any history on Masami and his choice to run 4WD with Schumacher (for what looks like one year), then go (permeantly) to Yokomo? I would be interested in the education.
I would assume that because of the Associated/Yokomo relationdhip...

Yes, there were a couple of prototypes running. They were driven by Gil Losi Jr who didn't do too well and by Jay Halsey who got it into the A final.
I assumed Masami's CAT would be the holiest of holies within Schumacher. On the contrary, the current crew seems to know very little about it. I guess that is racing: if it isn't winning races now, it is just an old car.
The video is still good to...

If the Eclipse isn't vintage enough to garner your interest, you may still want to watch that video. It has a brief examination of the vintage Schumacher 1/12 scale racer with the folded Lexan chassis. :D
Spent ages sorting our these decals as couldn't get them anywhere so thanks to J1mbo and Terry for helping me get them produced.
It isn't perfect (my lack of painting skill) but I think it looks quite good :)
Enjoy the pics guys. Some were...

Finally got the issue with your car in dan,was quite a lucky find actually as we don't usually see that mag over here.I found it buried at a non local newsagent :mrgreen:
I was trying to look up what servo was used on Masami’s original winning CAT XL but can’t seem to find any info. I‘m assuming it was a KO Propo. I know what he used for the other electronics, but not the servo. Would anyone happen to know what model...

My first memory of Masami was at one of our club races hearing one of the guys talk about this Japanese kid who just won the Worlds. He couldn't recall his name but he spoke about how the kid races using a stick radio and is so talented he can drive...
Just some quick, probably easy questions...
1. Where is the new CAT XLS Masami kit manufactured? China?
2. Does anyone know what exact driver figure was used in the box art pic of the original car? It's even got steering wheel+hands.
cheers guys.

I just wanted to follow up my original question also, with this. I contacted Schumacher some time after I posted this thread, to ask where the CAT XLS Masami was manufactured. The answer?
Thank you for your E-Mail.
Our kits are still designed and...
