Bosscat

[racingdwarf]

Having built up an optima to run round the track on nice days I thought I would pull my bosscat out of the loft and see what it was like, well pleased as all it needed was a new undertray and some new crash back rings, the belts seem in good nick. The last track this went round before being put away as we moved to norfik was the original EPO track around 1991-92 I think it was, sadly my original LRP ESC that was one of the first as it was supplied in clear heatshrink with an lrp sticker on has long since gone.

It's hats off to schumacher, I forgot how quality and well thought out this car was for how old it is, cleaver things like the totaly sealed ball diff in an off road car...nice, can't wait to get it on the track. errm on a nice day as the car is mint, just needed a new wing and a couple of new stikers on the shell to hide the thin paint job

Nice Bosscat you have there... interesting looking chassis with the angled battery slots, I can't remember that being standard?

I really like the Bosscat series - as a vintage racer it has that basic design & resemblance to the earlier CAT cars.... but includes all the upgrades that makes it a usable proposition - I bet they could handle LiPo & brushless power & show a few of the newer cars a clean set of (CAT) claws

Cheers, I think the chassis is std, but I can't remember now.

few photos of it back together,allready for the radio now and a mild 14x2 to start with

definitely not standard chassis, the cells were parallel both sides on mine.

great car though, definitely my favourite of the ones i have owned. i remember opening the box and pulling out the carbon chassis and going WOW, about all the frp chassis before!

there were a number of chassis available on the bosscats, the assymetric chassis as shown here, the standard 6 slots parallel and also an 8 slot version too.

Hello

I am going to use my bosscat soon! Has anyone run one with a brushless and lipos? Do the standard driveshafts and outdrives stand up to the abuse?

Hello

see my last post

Will the one way driveshafts stand up to brushless and lipo? Does anyone know if you can get the plastic yokes that go around the one way bearing.
