Mate, if you need a manual to help you out, PM me an e-mail address, and I'll shoot through two XLS manuals, one early, one late, which should help you no end.

Look out for Todd K. - he's a convicted serial killer!!!
Typically they should be facing/swept forward (long wheelbase), but they were designed to go on either way -to adjust castor. So, technically there is no wrong way. -Jeff
CAT XLS question...on the front suspension there is a pin required to connect the two sides to the main chassis. According to the manual I need a 2 x 40 mm pin that has to be bent. Any ideas where I can find the above mentioned pin? I need it to go...

Hi Mike
A411 is a 40mm pivot pin used on the lower front wishbones of the XLS.
U1246 is a 34mm pivot pin used on the rear hubs of Procat, Bosscat, Topcat etc
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to fit a slipper to these? From memory, I am sure that the xls I have has a MMS layshaft so would it be possible to fit a slipper? I am not sure if it has the original layshaft on it as I bought it 2nd hand years...

bormac: Thanks, I think it was actually your restored xls - and beauties they were too, that I saw with the yokomo wheels!
Jay Dub: thank you for the info. Shame I missed the slippers. The search goes on...
Does anyone know or can anyone provide a pic of the decals/stickers that came with either the SWB or LWB Cat kits? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Awesome! Love the Nissan and Toyota stuff. Count me in for those for sure.
I have a CAT XLS re release and haven't built it yet but have a question about the assembly and motor.
I've been reading up on various builds but was wondering if anyone here has some assembly tips for me? Like what to pay attention...

The integrator is what makes this car unique. It is the perfect example of overengineering and the car is easier to setup and run without.
But this setup is part of its british charm.
All, I'm on the hunt for a Schumacher CAT XL/XLS and would (obviously) prefer to pick up a NIB one. Anyone with any suggestions where best to look for these (apart from Ebay)? Are nib one ultra rare?

Bit of trivia. I just remembered (while checkin out the bosscat auctions) that Matt Francis ran a Bosscat for a while. I should ask him where it ended up :P -Jeff
Another car Ive been desperate to finish thats taken me ages to get done.For the most part this car is a Procat but runs a saddle pack XLS chassis with an XLS body and undertray. Not quite done but I intend to race this in an up and coming vintage...

Thanks DM. I have the sway bars and I was ging to slip the front under the top plate as you are suggesting. :D As for the rear camber link-yeah I swapped the pick up point on the RH side to fit a bigger spur and forget to do the same with the other...
I've started a build project that is aiming to bring the Bosscat into the format of the legendary XLS. Basically, I love the original C.A.T. (as a jr I bought a kit from the first batch of SWB's that reached Sweden back in '86, I should have...

RM your Bosscat is looking great!
I've experimented with a few different materials for the long belt. In the end I found a 6mm Kevlar reinforced Polyurethane belt, which is grey NOT orange. It has a higher modulus and you can feel it is less...
Talk on oOple that there's going to be a XL rerelease, lipo ready with upgraded slipper trans, anyone heard anything?

GoMachV is absolutely right, start with the Kyosho.
I have both in original vintage and re-release (Javelin) and the Schumacher is definitely for more experienced builders and racers.
Either way, 4WD buggies are a lot of fun. They offer a completely...
