I recieved my Bosscat works today and was pleasantly surprised to find some extra goodies in the box.
Upon closer inspection.........Alloy steering bellcranks! BONUS!
The seller was also kind enough to throw in a set of alloy eccentrics, spare USA release chassis and a spare shell also in good shape.
Overall I am very happy. It is always nice to get extra rare bits you were not expecting.
More tear down and rebuild pics to follow.

Occassionaly some thing very cool like this turns up and shows us all that the good deals are still out there to be found.
I have a new built works which has taken me the best part of 2 years to put together from new spares. These cars are ace!

I agree. I'm trying to curb my spending on Schumacher Cars....but deals like this just make that so hard to do

Upon initial inspection everything seems to be OK. The front one ways have been removed but were included. The left rear hinge pin was bent so the suspension was binding real bad. But I think I have a spare. I will also need new under tray, belt covers and a rear wing. The alloy rollers are gone too but I think the plastic ones are better for running(less maintenance and easier to replace if they break). I just cannot decide which chassis to use. The USA one puts the batteries closer to center but the one that is on it has more options for battery placement(fore and aft) and mounting electronics. Any thoughts?

I used to have the USA chassis and while it mounts the batteries closer inboard it also pushes them slightly further forward. This usualy means for less grip in the rear and more steering. The original chassis is more to my liking.

My Procat needs a new body, would the Bosscat body fit over the Procat undertray? And if so, are they still available? TIA!

Looks really good
How did you find the quality of the TBG body? I'm still waiting for mine to me delivered.

Thanks. The quality is over all pretty good. The lexan thickness is a little uneven in spots but I am happy. Be careful if using a brushless setup. I had some clearance issues with the motor tabs scratching the inside of the body. The Bosscat body just sits too darn low.
