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

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

Nosram AND Demon??

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.

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.

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 !!

... It's also got the rear suspention mod kit fitted to widen it (the paperwork for it is in the box)...

Hi Paul,
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
