Bottom one is a XLS if i remember correctly, although it was over 20 years ago....

In fact looking at the shape of the chassis, I recon both the cars are XLS's just don't know what the red body is....

If I am wrong please don't shout at me

guessing it would depend on if you can get them running, and the diffs, belts are in good nick... a running car is allways worth more than a unknown car... but someone eles will advise... at least you know what to look up on ebay now...

this one went for just over £100, but looked in reasonable condition...

I would say xls on the right, procat on the left, slightly different top chassis's on both cars, would need closer pics really to be sure, nice find though

Blimey, there's a real jumble there. both look like they started out as an xl/xls but have been seriously modified along the way. The one on the right looks like it has a bosscat rear end on it.

Love the Futaba 112b speed controller, very retro. I've got one somewhere

chassis does not look like a procat, if you look carefully there is no provision for saddlepack, looks like the same chassis as the right which is very narrow... the undertray on the other hand is definately not XLS shaped, nor the body...

this is like Time Team for RC cars

XLS chassis

The left hand car has got shocks that look like schumacher, but are the wrong colour for anything I had...

Futaba Spedo as well, if i remember thats simular to my first venture into the wonderful world of ESC in place of mechanical ones....
