If you are after an XLS you are kind of stuck searching hobby shops that might still have new old stock. If you are USA based, Amain is where most of the Schumachers come from, and they are a distributor to smaller shops that cant afford the buy in for Horizon and HRP. That means you can often find ...

If it's discontinued you have to treat looking for it like an original, with potentially more of them around. If you must have it now and have deep pockets there's plenty of options for big money from people who are looking to flip nib kits. Otherwise it's sitting and waiting for one to pop up at a ...

Buggies shouldn't be a problem, but you will likely need a backing color.

All of the blue on this truck was a single Tamiya can, but it was backed in another color.

Hi all Where I live its hard to get a hold of the tamiya spray paint cans (or any lexan sprays). I managed to get a hold of 2 cans... (white and blue) I need to be very careful with the amount I use as these 2 cans need to be enough for 2 cars (1/10 avg body size) Would you guys say that a single s...

Per Tamiya, the 100ml can is sized specifically to coat one complete model. I tend to use more when doing pan car bodies, but less when doing buggies.

Price of the CAT XLS was $309. Just did a quick search and hot damn folks have them for sale at ridiculous prices. I picked one up at the local HobbyTown when they were still available for $309.

Quick and simple version fit the XLS chassis to a Procat, all other chassis parts are identical. Part number is U7211 and is available from Schumacher and from Factory Works. You can then fit the XLS body and undertray to the buggy. The rest depends on how far you want to go to get it to look like a...

Yes, it is a drop in replacement. My ProCat re-re was built using Jeff's (Factory Works) XLS chassis. I kept the ProCat body and under tray, but could have used an XLS body and undertray had I wanted.

Yep top plate is the same as the procat so no problems there, just get the lower chassis for it

can someone please explain to me how/why is this a Associated release? isnt the YZ10 a yokomo car? what is the relation to Associated and why is Associated the 'owner' of this release and not yokomo like the super dog fighter for example? i probably have insufficient knowledge of RC history and wou...

It's the holes for the shorty lipo holder. The 4 holes in the XLS chassis was the original position, you can see that using that position isn't going to work on the Procat chassis as the holes line up with the edges of the battery slots, so the battery holder was moved forward slightly so they could...
