I couldn't resist buying this....

Well i've resisted an xls ever since I've been back racing (beginning of this year). But couldn't resist the one I have just bought off the bay...

I've bought quite a few vintage Schueys (2000's, 3000, Cougar2 Team and Works) and amassed quite a lot of NIP spares but I never expected to get an xls (had one when I raced as a kid:D) I expect that getting it up to spec isn't going to be cheap, but it will be fun.

Watch this space....:thumbsup:

My old car :D
Have fun with it

Wondered who's it was going to be. Just need to find some wing buttons by the looks of it.

Your not getting rid of any Cougar diff parts still are you?

All the best with the move to OZ there's plenty of vintage racing there i believe.

Cheers

I sold it to someone on here so i guess he has now passed it on to you:D

Northern Monkey 17-09-2011 03:17 PM

Oh right, guess your not moving to OZ then :D

Very nice, looking for an XLS project myself at the moment... had one when they were new too...:wub

Thanks, looking forward to receiving it. It's going to have to go to the top of my work list :lol:

What's the point of getting an XLS if you're going to put a Procat chassis on it???
:eh?:

Northern Monkey 23-09-2011 09:12 PM

Because it's not a Procat chassis, it's a carbon replica of the Schumacher XLS saddle pack chassis. The XLS came with the stick chassis as standard but they sold a saddle chassis as a hopup. Check out the link above for yourself. I have now got a fibre glass original saddle version from a mate to put on now.
