When I was running the early Schumacher cat XLS, Procat, BossCat etc. I was having belts made and was selling them to distributors, hobby shops etc. The company here in the states that I used was SDP (stock drive products). They make nearly every size (pitch and US standard or MM), and formulation (...

Yeah, all the parts I could see were blue anodized. Still bitter :(. Anyways, I was looking at the ZX5 front castor blocks yesterday @ the LHS. They look to be a few MM wider than the stock ZX blocks. But they are available in several different castor ranges (4, 7deg & others I assume). Wonderin...

May be purchasing a Pro X for vintage racing. Saw the post, and was wondering if anyone still a line on a new body? Thanks-Jeff

Just saw this post. I am currently thinking about building an vintage Ultima to race here in California. I saw your tranny querry, and I believe it is actually a Team Pit Stop tranny. They were from Florida if memory serves. I was sponsored by them in the early 90'S and it looks familiar :). Anyways...

Thanks, yeah I had already changed the steering arm since the pics were taken. I just need to mount a speedo and I should be close to running. I received my new universals from Kyosho America today (w5063), and a pure 10 diff assembly as well. In stock, and less than $20 USD :). On a very sad note h...

As for the cat EC I would say sell it because NIB cars are worth more money to collectors (I assume you are not a collector as you are contimplating selling it in the first place and you probably don't appreciate it). Two, there are very few parts that are compatible between the axis and the 3k. you...

Ok, finally have a minute to cover the slipper modification. First, I would like to say that this modification requires some simple but basic machining (lathe to be exact), so if you have no axcess to a lathe, than you are SOL. But if you do have access to a lathe, then this modification should take...

No. It was Very easy actually. I am running out of the house at the moment, but will cover the process later today.-Jeff

you suck... I hate you.. -JK

Thanks! I would never have attempted it if my LHS had not been blowing out all their Kyosho stuff cheap. As for the belt cover, thanks but I have several NIP ones now that will be going on e-bay at some point .

Thanks guys. James, I was looking for an updated tower set, and yours seemed like it would be the ticket. I am nearly finished with the project (begining the radio install) and should have it running soon. I do have one question though, as I have never run one of these cars. Does anybody run the rol...

Here it is, mid project. Nearly all new plastic, new shock towers and upper deck from Fiber Lyte, one way front diff, creamic bearings, rear ball diff, optional heavy duty steering, aluminum steering knuckles and rear hubs, Lunsford tie rods, ZX5 wing mounts. Soon will mount the shocks, new gear cov...

Here are some of the mods that I have done to enhance performance/reliability or looks. First, I retrofitted a modern style Schumacher slipper assembly to the original drive hub. Than I pinned the differential drive rings and bored a 8mm hole in the diff pulley so it would be bearing supported. Next...

Here goes...These are pics of the car how I received it, shame what people can do to a car I got it cheap though, and it has a CF chassis that is in decent shape. I don't believe it is stock -maybe composite craft? Also it came with a different front a-arm and hub set. RS maybe?

Thanks, I will try to reduce the file size.
