Bosscat works project.
Posted: Sat Apr 18, 2009 10:00 pm
Being a crazy mad Schumacher fan its hard to go past the Bosscat. For me this was Schumachers ultimate 4WD buggy from the 'crashback' front end line of buggies. Its clearly an evolutionary thing and by the time the Bosscat design was down pat they sorted all the problems that would catch racers out on the earlier cars.
Ive built a handful of Bosscat buggies over the years and I've slowly been collecting nip spares for another build. Luckily a car came up on ebay and it has been the perfect donor for this project. On this occassion I ended up with a very good place to start. The chassis plate is the 'USA' version which mounts the battery packs futher forward and inward of the original chassis layout.
After stripping the donor car down I cleaned and inspected every part of the old car. The rear diff pulley had an unusual wear and was definately going to the bin.
Over the past year Ive managed to collect the following nip items-
*Purple 'works' transmission side plates.
*Front and rear complete 23mm 'pro' alloy diffs,pulleys and accessories.
*Genuine Schumacher drive belts.
*Front suspension arms.
*Front uprights.
*Front hubs.
*Front 'one way' driveshafts.
*Complete set of rubber sheild bearings.
*All four dark green 'pro' shock bodies and seal housings.
*Alloy roller driveshafts for the rear (yet to go on).
*Lexan lower belt cover.
*Stainless steel screw set.
*Front bulk head and bumper set.
*Rear wing mounts.
*Rear wing.
The car isnt finished but Im not from done now. I'll keep the post updated when Im done.
