I recently built a Procat. It WAS frustrating, but it wasn't overwhelming for me....those four thru bolts in the front bulkhead though... It's great now. I destroyed the body by using a small amount of Tamiya Paint Remover, couldn´t find a new body in stock (Germany), so converted it to use an XLS body - just the top and Botton chassis plate.

I’m glad you had a little trouble at least 😂 but got through it brother - I’ve finally stopped being pissed about it now but I won’t lie, I refuse to take that bastard apart for any reason, which is why I won’t be driving it again 😆 I do seem to have an issue with both cats whereby the rear diff lasts about a single run before it ends up with one side locked up/not spinning - but I’m just not going to dig in until I absolutely having nothing better to do or die

I can put a Tamiya together in my sleep. Kyoshos, same. I just got done with my Pro Cat, thank god it went together amd and works smooth, cause holy hell, taking it apart again is just something i never want to do hahaha That being said, I wish i had got the pro transmission before hand. Mine also came with a missing grub screw for the lower sway bar link. Probably never buy another Schumacher again tbh. I got one, im good lol

You are correct! There’s a later video somewhere out there where I make an attempt at 3d printing one more like the original - it did seem to eliminate the arm & crashback binding!! You know your cats sir! 😊

Hello again. Looks like you used the bent up- and backwards wing wires for the 870c? That's why it sits so high. They should be straight or slightly bent upwards. And for the Cat: sorry bad news, you need to take it apart again to fit the untertray I think :) Anyway wish you a happy new year!

😄 Thanks & happy new year to you as well!!! That makes total sense I’ve had those wing wires for a while but I just assumed they went with the yz10 - I’ll try some straight ones cuz I pretty much hate the way it looks currently 👍 You’re totally right about the undertray I guess I was kinda hoping to score a new chassis at some point so I didn’t even bother with it - I’m still pissed off so I’m not even going to touch it until the new drag link shows up 😂

Popped the undertray on today and it was a mofo like you said 😂 Also got some straight wires on the yz10 wing and it looks worlds better thanks again for the advice!!

I love your collection. Jealous lol. However, I do not understand what went wrong with the ProCat. I have three Xls and a Pro and I have never had any issue building them🤔

Thanks David I think I was having a real tough time with front end/crash-back parts at the time and/or I’d had too many beers - OR I was being overly dramatic 😂 I don’t love working on the car though I guess my skills are not quite up to that level but I do love the car itself no question 👍

@@wadeskelton7585 I did not realise the video was 9 months old. I thought it was more recent given the recent re-release of the ProCat. I must say that I am amazed that your channel has not (yet) more subscribers. Your vintage collection is absolutely priceless and I know my stuff! You actually have in your possession some of my holy Grail vintage buggies (Hirobo Alien Mid-and Invader-, PB Electra, Ayk Radiant, Yankee Electra, MRC MRX (And I am French; I grew up with these!!!!). And let's not forget the MIP 4x4 RC10!!!! You also have many other rare ones. Honestly I do not understand how you managed to source these. I have been looking for years! You should change your name on KZitem (by including RC vintage or something) because thousands of true RC collectors would be interested in your collection. You certainly deserve a huge follow up. I mean look at the way Gavin from RC Kicks has developed! I would also advise you to advertise your channel on Facebook groups or Instagram. Maybe you ought to get in touch with Glenn from RC Legends / Tamiya Legends. Wishing you well man; because you are sitting on RC gold.🤞👍

@@davidvoisin1925 seriously thank you for your kind words - while I do have a few cool old cars what I don’t have is the personality to make for entertaining content - even I start falling asleep when I’m watching my own videos 😂 I started out just wanting to post some vids of some of the cars I couldn’t find a lot of videos on - fortunately it seems now that there’s a lot more content available covering some of the weird vintage cars and it’s actually well made 😄 I will continue to post vids when I have something I think people might wanna see but I have no intention of “building a channel” I love Gavin and Glenn they’re both great dudes with great channels!!! Do you have some vids up?!? Would love to see some of your cars man!

@@wadeskelton7585 You're welcome. Your collection is truly impressive. I have posted pictures of my collection online on FB channels. I have about 30 odd cars. While all are ready to be driven, they are mainly shelf queens, all in pristine condition and a few professionally painted/ My most prized buggies are a brand new Marui Ninja, some gorgeous RC 10s, 5 Optimas each with lots of options (one brand new vintage), a Serpent Sport 10, 2 HotBody DB4 Cyclone World Champs, a cat xls replica, a cat xls full carbon and alloy options, a Clodbuster with options gallore and several others. I am currently working on a SWB Cat carbon with pro transmission which will be fitted with a PM Maxima body, a Dhawk racing alloy RC10 and a Joel Johnson Replica Ultima with carbon chassis. However, the cars I desire the most are the Alien Mid and the Predator X11.
