Super build as usual Jeroen. I like the bosscat uppers. Nice touch!

Are you trying to figure out how to connect the battery?

No problem at all , enough space between battery and upperdeck.

I have to connect the packs and put them in together , a matter off seconds.

I had my first run with the SWB Cat today.
The 4.5T Novak was far to powerfull for the car without a slipper.
The car was much harder to drive than the XLS .

Very impressive build! Good luck with further tuning... perhaps a higher turn motor will make it easier to control? No??? Is there such thing as TOO MUCH POWER??? I don't know...

Good work Matt! I know they had the pattern for towers available, but not listed on their website...however to get the whole lot and especially the long battery strap is ace! Big thumbs up for that :D .

Hi,
I want to rebuild and run my old Schumacher CAT from 1986, as left for the last 30 years on a shelf.
This was one of the first kit imported in France, with short wheel base, I later convert it to an XL/XLS hybrid with long chassis, widened front...

Those are some great action shots, thanks for posting them.
FWIW, I don't believe my CAT's were ever the best jumpers. I'd always fiddle with shock oil and springs and never seem to get it perfect.
I also agree with you about the wind shovel mount,...

Has anyone tried this? I have used dragon plate products before and like them. I was thinking this would be perfect for chassis restoration. Certainly more durable than film.

Last post

Very nice product, although somewhat pricey.

And, I'm an internal ISO 9001 auditor too. It's very crappy extra responsibility; I do about six audits a year. Next week we're also being externally audited to get ISO 17025 certification; 17025 makes...

hey guys, in the middle of a resto, a chassis I have has a few scratches on the bottom, and its a bit...dull. any way I can gloss it up (with a hard-wear finish)

not sure if Tamiya clear gloss would do the trick...perhaps not strong enough?

Cheers

when I was restoring my graphite chassis. I used the clearcoat that duplicolor makes. available at autozone. I did use the whole can on the chassis but its effectively protected. I've raced it and normally just bash it and its held up for a year+...

Some photos of latest project, a carbon fibre tub YZ-10 (courtesy of Sven). Going to need some help with this one; looking at the chassis I'm guessing it's been designed for a Works '93 as it has the slots for adjusting the belt tension? If so, I...

This started at the end of last year I was helping welshy40 find some parts for his Nix91 and he said he had a carbon tub that was made by Fiber-Lyte for him some years ago, he had forgot about it and had been sat in a cupboard ever since. So after...

I've had a similar project in the pipeline for a while... including the FL tub and a few more ;)

It's in the waiting list atm... like most of my projects :roll:
