A bit like the UK version of Losi's BB equipped driveshafts. Well, ok, I think Schumacher came up first with that one ...

Ahhhhh!!!! Not a TopCat!!!!!!! I had one!!! Worst 2wd buggy I have EVER owned!!!! Good luck with the build though, looks good!

However still considered by some as top of the collectability tree

Dear Asso_man!

I'm sorry to reply not sooner !
I have what you need, please send me a request by PM with part number to help me !

Hi

I have this:



But also a rear guard with Top Cat label and a the wing mount but slightly used !

Since I finally trimmed a fresh body and wing for it, I thought I would bump this almost dead thread while we're into vintage Schumies. The only thingy I need to fit on it are the aluminium CVD's that are sitting in a box since forever... Hopefully this one won't see the track Gotta love the Top Cat

that looks great, David. Something about the laydown front shocks ...

a stunning example that mate

The Top Cat is the best looking 2WD buggy ever.This car has polished up great.It's better with the standerd drive shafts though.

I must admit.. I'm utterly in love with this car. For some nuts reason I keep passing on the TC's offered to me. Probably cos none are as nice as this one!

I always like the Schumacher cars. Not so much the Couger/Topcat, but I was really digging the BossCat. The 4wd buggy that they produced.

Nice build none the less.



momo

yeah i was well into schumachers ages back, loved the BossCat

Ahh yes,the Topcat! I have been racing one of these in the vintage scene here in Australia. They dont like big jumps so much though. They are a very unique car ( I own 3) and could possibly sell one if offered a genuine price.
Our good friend Jeroen leant me his new uncut Topcat body set and I inturn sent it to my other good mate-Ant down in Melbourne Australia. It took some convincing but Ant was good enough to pull a mold from it and repro 20 or so shells. For the most part they turned out quite good and it has helped us all have shells for this very cool old girl.

The shell on this one comes directly from him, small world uh?

Ive had the fortunate opportunity to paint a few Topcats now and I like them all. Most have ended up with friends now.
