Attachment 100575

I'm looking forward to getting mine here in the U.S.A., pre-ordered about a month ago.

Somebody must have one built by now! Surely a photo or two will appear soon :thumbsup:

Got mine in the U.S.A.

Ours is half built :lol:
I notice traffic on here is much quieter of late may be it all takes place on FB (which I dont do
Regards dave

Mine is sitting in customs at the moment can't wait to get my hands on it

i've started to build mine and have noticed the spur gear can be rocked slightly on its ball bearings, i've double checked everything but can't see anything wrong. does anyone know if this is normal?

i feel a bit daft asking but i want to get it right:confused:

Another happy person with his rerelease

Wonder if he got discount on the kit......:lol::lol:

I bet he got it as a present.

Now Yokomo guys should feel some kind of envy a say something like:

'ok, now we`re gonna re-re our masterpiece, the yz10`

Doubt it somehow, was expensive then so imagine cost now.

still waiting for mine. UPS made a *&^% up with delivery!!:mad:

Talking to Robin and Cecil yesterday they were really happy and surprised at the support that it's had. I asked if it was going to be a limited run or not and Robin said they didn't have any intention with limiting the quantity so there should be a plentiful spares supply for years to come!

That's good news Justin :thumbsup: if I ever get mine out of ups' hands I'll be happy, bloody rip off merchants that they are:mad:

Come on guys. It's been a week already. Someone must have at least started a build that they can post some pictures.

I can't afford one of these babies so I need to live my life vicariously through those that can. :)

Here's mine, will do a shell of my own design on day.
Took longer than it should have as had to contact Schumacher 4 times due to parts issues. These were resolved quickly but still annoying

Looking good! Any shell off shots?

What were the part problems?

My Re re XLS, Daniel Rowlands tribute car as used at the revival at the weekend, so not only built, but used too

Interestingly Robin said that Yokomo are Schumacher's distributor in Japan.

I just love that trinity paint so awsome :thumbsup::woot:

They might and they did tease the 834 some years ago but nothing, but you never know if they see the cat doing well

On mine the front anti roll bar was bent in a place it should have been straight, the finish of the eccentrics was really poor, I replaced these with the alloy ones which were really high quality.....apart from that no issues:thumbsup:

I'd love to have one of these as a runner. My original Procat is too dear for me to drive it as much as I want.

Is the upgraded drive train set really necessary? What's the difference?

EDIT:
I read the manual. The upgrade seems to have a coarser belt and pulley pitch. Probably 3mm pitch.

Finished ......

No other word to say but, STUNNING. LOVE IT. :thumbsup:

Words cant express how I feel reading this. Really nice!

Cheers buddy, can't take the credit for the painting...only the mad ramblings that were awesomely translated into the design I was looking for!!

Can you bring it to the club meet for us all too drool over :thumbsup:

loving the paint i used to have a lot of peel (spelling) paintjobs and "splatts" back in the days i guess it was hip or something

:lol:

and if i would like to have anything from yokomo reissued any 91-93 model would be fine and i guess they would fix the arms since they where very soft

help please!!!!!
 

Hi, eventually got my hands on my xls. Never built one before. All was going well upto step 19. Please can anyone help or offer some advice. Ive spent over an hour on this stage and no matter what I do cant get the front end assembled. The holes line up but as soon as I try assemble the side plastic parts (not the gear casing but the outer parts) everything gets thrown out of line and nothing assembles as it should. No idea what is going on!!!!

mine does exactly the same thing. not finished building mine yet so not sure if this is normal. Having a nightmare with the front end. doesnt seen to want to go together

In the end I phoned Schumacher, and spoke to the technical department. They said the spur gear movement is normal.

As for the front end it's just a bit fiddly as you have to line up so many components at the same time.

Mine is a toatal pain, as soon as I line up ones side the other is way out. It might end up on feebay as an abandoned project at this rate!!

LOTs of parts in the front end so is a bit fiddly.

It's almost the same as on my Procat. The front gearbox has steps on each side. The steps need to go under the step on each side piece. The gearbox can slide forward an backwards using these steps as guides, and the steps clamp down on the gearbox later on to hold it in position after pulling the belt tight.
