It's definitely a Bosscat, but I have no idea what type of chassis that is. It's not something Schumacher sold - it's got some weird finish on it.

it looks more like a pro cat to me as the belt runs under the chassis and it has the ful inside wheel protecters.

Im not sure if that is a bosscat in the pictures.

It has the procat aero hubs which I dont think the bosscat used.
Also the top deck looks more procat than bosscat to me.
It could be some sort of hybrid as many of the parts were interchangeable.

The easiest way to tell is that the bosscat plastic front gearbox covers the belt over the diff where as on the procat the belt is exposed and the top deck extends further.

defo a pro cat the belt ran under the chassis for sure on the boss cat it ran above chassis the boss cat also had anodised gear box sides the chassis is the same shape as the pro it looks like its been died or somthing as the pro was white fibre glass.

heres some more pics, it was sold to me as a bosscat, not that it matters as I'm after several of each.

The chasis is not repainted
