CAT XLS

Post by Rich D » Thu Aug 16, 2012 1:38 pm

Hi guys

I thought id show you a few pics of a CAT XLS i restored.

The body shell was as i bought it aside from having had a bit of a clean. Retro.

Trying to find NIP Chrome wheels was impossible so i had my painter friend spray these with the nearest he had to the kit Chrome.

Really really wish i hadn't moved this one on now and will buy another when i find a tidy one

This CAT went to live in Hong Kong.

Just curious on the difference of the Cat XL, XLS & Pro Cat.

I can't tell the difference looking at my Cat XL to Pro Cat as i'm sure they aren't 100% standard.

From memory the Cat XLS has chrome wheels, Sway bars & one Way. Not Sure.

Than the...

Can anyone tell me whether the parts for the Schumacher Cat, Cat XL and Cat XLS are the same? Also, there appear to be various parts listed on EBAY with part numbers beginning with U. Does anyone know whether I can locate a list which sets out which...

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...

Last post

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,...

All, I'm on the hunt for a Schumacher CAT XL/XLS and would (obviously) prefer to pick up a NIB one. Anyone with any suggestions where best to look for these (apart from Ebay)? Are nib one ultra rare?

Last post

Bit of trivia. I just remembered (while checkin out the bosscat auctions) that Matt Francis ran a Bosscat for a while. I should ask him where it ended up :P -Jeff

The CAT XLS was an upgraded version of the Cat XL, which itself was a long wheelbase version of the original CAT (Competition All Terrain) buggy. Distribution in America was initially handled by Trinity as can be seen in this ad from 1988:

After more than 10 years i had a run with one off my cats.

sanyo 2400 mah battery.

Does anyone have a Procat bumper to swap for this XLS bumper?

As you can see, two lexan strips have been glued to give the correct spacing between the lower belt cover and bumper. The bumper itself is intact.

The quickest way to contact me...

Last post

It took me almost 18 months to replace a broken Procat bumper a while back. I had to buy $80 worth of stuff to get at it too.
Probably easier buying an old junker realy.

CAT XLS question...on the front suspension there is a pin required to connect the two sides to the main chassis. According to the manual I need a 2 x 40 mm pin that has to be bent. Any ideas where I can find the above mentioned pin? I need it to go...

Last post

Hi Mike

A411 is a 40mm pivot pin used on the lower front wishbones of the XLS.

U1246 is a 34mm pivot pin used on the rear hubs of Procat, Bosscat, Topcat etc

Diameter are the same but length is too short
