Re: Very Happy with this ebay purchase
NICE ONE!!
I was watching this too but figured that i'd already spent enough in recent months on this crazy addiction of ours
You sure got that for a good price - a little work cleaning up the ProCat will leave you with a car worth twice what you paid I reckon... let alone what you could assemble from the rest of the parts.

Re: Very Happy with this ebay purchase
Very, very nice car and unusual Corally saddle chassis indeed!!!! Congratulations on that purchase!!!
Re: Very Happy with this ebay purchase
Started the xls build
Gone for some black transmission plates in stead of silver.. Very happy with them against the red chassis....
while searching for parts i found these red uprights was wondering if they would look better than the black ones....
More to follow

Re: Cat Xls Rebuild
So i started on the layshaft, this was all strange to me as i had a Procat when i was younger....3 pins, 2 gears, 1 layshaft and a spur gear done!!
Took me longer to do the layshaft than the diff
Anyway: Here's the diff Now to put it all in the transmission housing Attach it to the chassis with the long belt Outer tranny housing Now i know this putting a hole in the rear was all the rage bitd but what the.....dirt,stones and sand all through the hole didn't see the point sorry....

Re: Cat Xls Rebuild
Wow, you don't hang around!!!
Looking good... never having built/owned a CAT before its great to see how the belt arrangement works - kind very similar to the Mission Touring car?
I guess that hole makes checking the belt tension easier, a small square of insulating tape would be a quick & easy way to cover the hole to stop dirt etc getting-in.

Re: Cat Xls Rebuild
We used to make a little rubber plug to put in the hole. I could never get the tension right without the hole.
Looking good too, what bumper are you going to use on the buggy Mick?
Paul.
