Yeah nah, that's not correct. Mk1 was Irvine S15R at .15 / 2.5cc. Mk2 Irvine S15R2, still at .15 / 2.5cc - just a few slight improvements (block, carb, etc.). Mk3 came with the option of a .12 engine (a Leo, from memory), or no engine at all, and you could install your own with a specific engine in...

Another early morning road trip. I don't even know what I have here really, and the [Spanish only] seller had no idea what he had, as he only got it as payment for something. :shock: It seems to be two complete chassis and drivetrains, and some duplicate plastic parts, but only one cab and one set o...

Todd should have pine trees on his bodies, not palm trees !

Not sure why I didn't come up with that...might have to come up with some more $$ for that next time

Also, kudos for beating Alex to the punch RJ!

What model of Schumacher is this? Does it look like an off road model that has had on road tires added and body mounts added? . 1000010225.png Hopefully Alex or Retro RC can chime in with a good answer. It looks like a Pro CAT to me because it has the Top CAT style rear suspension and the XLS style...

Schumacher taking a moment away from single product advertisements to showcase a multitude of their vehicles, from the Cat 2000 and Fireblade 2000 to the SST 2000 and Nitro Storm 21XS

A nitro version of Schumacher's SST 2000 electric 4wd touring car hit the market in 1998, dubbed the Nitro SST it retained the same Cat 2000 4wd buggy sourced drivetrain as the electric SST but on a nitro specific twin deck carbon fiber chassis:

My Storm is the later version based on the Cougar 2000, and wheels for it were tough enough. You may have a hard time with the older ones. :lol: I ended up with proper rears and adapted fronts. There are castle fitment to hex adapters available. This is a good choice for a runner. They are available...

Hi there,

Here is a Storm wheel. Measures should be sort of ok.
From the back edge of the rim to the bottom of the castle: 12ish mm.
Front to surface of wheel nut: 32,5ish mm.

Good luck!

Happy 50th Thumbs (our cousin Benji, NOT Ken)!

Schumacher brought the Nitro 21 XT to market in 1999, two years after releasing the original Nitro 21 XS. The XT's more powerful engine sat atop a bright yellow powder coated Cougar style aluminum chassis with revised shock towers and chrome turbo vane wheels. The Nitro 21 XT could be had as a Stadi...

Painted up a spare Yokomo body over the weekend. Decided to try to replicate the scheme on my XX-4 and X-5. IMG_20240324_220420807.jpg IMG_20240324_210942416.jpg Things I learned: -cutting compound curves is a pain in the ass, especially on curved surfaces -need to get better on consistent cutting d...

Just a little rant I needed to get off my chest, about the epitome of the luck I have been having lately. I have this little project Volvo I have been playing with lately (I know, I know, but I have plans for it :D ), so this weekend was motor mounts. It has a vibration under acceleration, and it ha...

Just a little rant I needed to get off my chest, about the epitome of the luck I have been having lately. Sounds a lot like my usual endeavors. I need to change the oil in the truck. Back truck out of garage, but to get to my tools I have to clean off the bench, but before I can clean the bench, I'...

I can relate! It's one of the reasons why I enjoy sleeping into the afternoon. The less I'm awake during the day, the less I have to put up with. Hey, it works.
