I finally got my Top Cat in the mail. This was the second car I owned when I was a kid and always wanted one since then. It is quite hard to find these days, I've been watching Ebay for months before this one showed up. I already have a...

Been a while since I last posted a project but here's what has been keeping me entertained the last couple of weeks - the Schumacher re-release Top Cat!

Nice work on all the mods to the front suspension setup, you mention that you might be willing to share the files or put them up on Shapeways.

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...

The author was desapointed regarding Top Cat racer's perf. Due to a front lazy behaviour,
Yeah no doubt the Topcat's front suspension is not the cars strongest atribute. Personaly I think its the 'ratio' of the rocker arms that make for a weak...
I have a quick question I was hoping someone could help with.
