Topcat rere w/ sidewinder

[top cat mike]

Would any of you know if a brushless sidewinder sport be to much for the stock transmission of a rere TOPCAT to handle? I am an utter newb when it comes to brushless and want to ask those with more smarts

tighten that belt or put a pro transmission in it.
Great car tho! one of the best 2wd cars hands down

I just built one, tighten the belt fully and it should handle it. I bought the last pro tranny available currently. Great tho.

I had to google where Energy Illinois was...I’d never heard of it. LOL

Looks like we’re going to tighten the belt and give it a go.

Was just searching the webz for a Topcat. Even though I picked up a rere XLS right before they discontinued, kinda wish I also would've got a Topcat too. The old Schumacher's are just hands down cool as beans.

I also had to google Energy. Whenever I hear of a town in the ol' land of Lincoln that's new to me, I can pretty much safely say it's south of Bloomington.

We have both. Cat is great but the top cat drives so damn good. Not sure why it didnt fair better in the 80s

We are in the deep South! seriously, there are hillbillys here!

The further away from Chicago the better.

I'll have to scoop up a well used Topcat if I ever come across one.
