thats really nice:thumbsup:

trekkker

Thanks! :)

What's a correct period ESC to put in the XLS?

I assume the Tekin 411P I have came on the market a bit later?

Dan

i rekon something like a novak 1 or early tekin but being a proud brit maybe something like demon and being an xls the demon speedo might even fit:lol:

btw i think the 411p might be as late as 93/94

Thanks for the info.

I just received the car I'm going to restore next....it has a belt over chassis design with covered belt....home made or does anyone recognise it?

I'm going to be fitting the standard narrow kit chassis to this car so if anybody wants rhe chassis and fittings shown above just get in touch

Looks like this came with the original parts bags from a new xl kit where they used to use black marker and write the part number on the bag....lots of new parts! I think I can almost make my Masami replica a new build! Proper Schumacher body too.

Used to run mine with a speedmaster silverstar esc. It had this gimungus relay on it for reverse. You can almost hear it engage reverse halfway down the track too. Good times.

Laser Comfet, Nosram International, Nosram Dominator or Demon Kingfet. At club level the Speedmaster Silverstar and Goldstar. Any old ESC covered in shrinkwrap would look right. Of todays big names your only choice would be the Novak 1.

I vote for the Ko Propo CX-1:drool:

I think my Tomy Intruder came with a brand new CX-1.....I'll check!

Update: No, it's a CX-9

I ve still got my old Laser Comfet from my XLS, really didnt fit that well though:thumbdown: look at the size of it:cry:

DT Racing Parts
 

Hi Guys,

Not sure if any of you have heard of DT Racing Parts but they're pretty new - I heard of them via a Kyosho seller on eBay.

Anyway, the chassis, upper deck and shock towers (to be fitted) on this CAT rebuild are all from them, they're great quality, all CNC cut and they're also going to be starting Carbon Fibre soon, prices should be quite a bit cheaper than FibreLyte too! These parts were very reasonable. They're going to be doing all the older Schumacher and Kyosho chassis and shock tower parts.

Just a tip for those hard to find bits. I'll tell you more info as I get it.

Dan

Those parts look great, do they have a website? Or contact details?

Dan your build is looking crisp!

Thanks Naushad :)

I think they're just getting started and mine was a test chassis but drop Terry an email at

Just received some more from him

I found some chrome wheels!

Where did you find those chrome rims from?!

Well there were some slightly tatty ones on eBay UK a few weeks back.....I missed those but dropped the seller a message, it turned out he had another set so I bought em.....the rears are better than the fronts and they were pricey but I'm happy with how they look now.

So many projects concurrently on the go now my room is such a mess....not enough time to spend in there.

2nd XLS in bits still to finish and paint, it'll be a Masami 87 replica with the black rims including the narrow fronts.

Procat/XLS runner to finish and paint too.

Then the Turbo Optima Mid, Turbo Optima Mid SE, Hotshot and Hotshot 2 shelf queens and a runner too and the Tomy Intruder which I haven't decided what to do with yet.

Dan :)

Progress of number 2

Just comparing the original Schumacher XLS shell with a Penguin repro.

And the work in progress runner which is a Procat hybrid using DT racing XLS chassis....perfect fit.
