Default Vintage Cat Re-built, almost ready to race...

Thought I'd post up a few pics of my Cat.. Then I'm going to get some electrics installed, and have a race or two with it..

I'm wondering how I'll fit everything in, given that the chassis space on this is not much dissimilar to my Durango, and the receiver from my JR Apex is almost as big as half a saddle pack! I must have managed it at some point. Of course leaving out the vintage radio is not an option! The oldest speed controller I have is a Novak Cyclone, not really old enough, but being small will help for now.

I would like to fit a nice Parma cat shell to this, so PM me if you have one.

I am also after the small plastic battery strap hook and a rear servo post as they are missing. I will probably have to sort something different to run the car, but would still like one.

Thanks Kaszal,

It wiill most likely be a few runs at my local club, Telford Hot Trax, but I'll see how it goes. If it proves to be a bit of fun, maybe I'll give it a run out somewhere else..

Very nice! An alloy inner mount will finish it off a treat

I've also got some vintage Tekin speedos (411s and the like) if you want to stay retro with the electrics? I love the JR Apex, esp with the flexi antenna.

Hah, shameless plug but yes, you definitely need an inner trans housing... like me!

Indeed, minichamps is a purveyor of quality vintage Schueys goodies.
