What the other guys said--looks great, nice consistency with the colors of the stickers, belt, paint stripes.

Nosram AND Demon??
I do like the colours, quite of the time.

Thanks guys, this one has taken me a while. I might get around to finishing some other projects now
Talking about Demon ("Demon Power Products" these days) I still use them for most of my RC purchases. It's still run by Nick, and he's a top bloke who knows a lot about RC. It's one of only a few RC retailers left in the UK that's totally geared towards racers.

Around the time of the XL (87) Demon had moved away from being an ESC manufacturer, actually, they were more of a retailer by then. I think the only thing Nick actually still made around that time was motors, and I used plenty of them.stulec52 wrote:Nosram AND Demon??

I actually just had an e-mail chat with 'Uncle' Nick the past couple of weeks.
He was telling me he still had his original RC-10 that he raced back in about 86.
Loved those old prismatic decals !!

Hi Paul,CAT3K wrote:... It's also got the rear suspention mod kit fitted to widen it (the paperwork for it is in the box)...
Any chance you could post a scan of that paperwork for the rear widening kit? I understand the kit also lowered the top suspension mounts, which seems to have been ignored on the subsequent XLS.
Cheers,
Iain

Here's a pic of the paperwork. Very basic instructions, what Schumacher instructions weren't basic back then
