First Schumacher for me. I'm looking forward to a full restore over the coming months.

Here is a teaser pic

Looks in good shape already, I raced one of those BITD, a good car and alot faster than the older style with the stand-up shocks.

good car and appears to be in good condition and I have one worse this hope soon to begin

I've got one as well sitting in a box in pieces. I need shocks, a wing mount, and the rear pivot brace which I am having a hard time finding.

And don't forget: laid down shocks look so

Finally got it finished, I'll put better pictures up soon.

It's a very well engineered car, I wouldn't fancy changing the belt in a hurry. It has some option parts which include an alloy rear bulkhead, alloy hingepin braces and the clicker from the later SE model.

Just need a new body and undertray, which I'll get from TBG next year.

Why don't you use penguinrc? shipping within the UK should be less costly

I need a Yokomo one too

That looks to be a very neat build indeed, looks like you've been busy this Christmas period! I look forward to seeing some more pics of the car (did you take any photos mid-build?).

In off road racing I've always only raced 2wd, but the only real experience I've had with driving a 4wd buggy was with a Cat2000 that I used to take home & prepare/maintain for the model shop that sponsored me at the time (RJH models in Corby), the car was raced by a lad who was a fellow sponsored driver but was really too young to work on his own car. I would obviously test out the car & the main impression I got was just how easy it was to drive! Obviously prob any 4wd would give me that impression given that I was only used to my 2wd cars but the CAT really dud feel like you could chuck it at any bump or corner & it would come out the other side, racing 4wd must a far more intense experience!

@ Alex..... looking at your wing, will you finish off the shell in Jurgen Lutenbach colours?

Dan, no build pics this time. As for the paint have you got any pics Jurgen Lutenbach colours? This is gonna be my last build for a while, second Alex b jr on the way so I'm saving for all those nappies

Put it in Jukka Steenari color.
