you are! didn't ya know

I now have a CAT XLS NIB also...I am starting to like these cats.....I used to be a dog guy...hahah

should i build the schumacher cart xls that i have NIB or should i leave it since i already have one built? I also found a nib kyosho optima at a yard sale about a month ago....i got it for 100 dollars, is that a good deal?

If you have one built I would leave it in the box.


As for your Optima all that i will say is you got it a real bargain price.

That Cat is a great find! I am still hopeing for a garage sale find, or a buddy with a random old car in the back of his closet some day. And your workshop / collection is amazing!!!

I decided not to build the NIB CAT xls...I think i will just put it aside....The only thing missing out of the box is the original manual.....anyone have one?

Here are just a few other pics of the stuff i have, the vintage stuff i have is on the wall or in boxes, most of the stuff hanging on the wall or in boxes is new never used or unbuilt...the stuff on the shelves are a mix of some use some new builds...most of the stuff on the shelves is not as vintage as the stuff on the wall.

about 10 yrs are so ago maybe longer they were made exclusivly for the Hot Rod Shoot Out down in Saugas CA there were having a spec series of racing and losi i belive was the Co that came out with those blue tires ( appropriately named the smurf tires) for the series, but man they sucked they ran blue groove for the series. And they were so hard and didnt have any traction what so ever, people were trying every type of traction compound and trick to make them soft they where even setting they on fire to try to soften them, they were absolutly junk, those where the hand outs and you had to use them
how did you come about these?
