After searching for months I finally found one ant it arrived today. Needs a bit of a clean up and polish but I'm happy with it.



Got the new diff balls yesterday so just need to get some time to spend on it now.

Is it correct that the vid is running in slo-mo speed?

[Peakey]

It's not my vid I stole it from the iconicrc Facebook page and yes it's in slow mo

I managed to get a little time last night to build up the new rear diff that I'm going to try in the Procat at WBMCC at the end of the month. I will be removing the MMS rear box and using that on the XLS that I will soon be building, and going back to the custom motor plates I had made.

I managed to build this bosscat pro diff out of completely new parts down to the nip Schumacher diff balls and thrust race.


And now in it's new home


Just need to strip the rear of th Procat now for the belts and re assemble when I get some spare time.

An old but proven cure might to trim the outer row of pins.

I've been told that tonight too, so I'm going to take the outside two rows off. So hopefully that with the new front end mod it should help.
I am also waiting for some piano wire to try and make a custom front anti roll bar to fit on to the inner holes on the wishboans so I can run my shocks on the outside ones.

It's been a while but the Procat is out of storage and been back on the track for the revival. It's had a bit of a revamp with a Bosscat Pro rear diff and a new SV2 slipper.





Since this pic it's had a strip and rebuild again as the new layshaft didn't take to well to the 3mm thick side plates so I had to revert back to the MMS alloy box and with that box I can't run the 6mm belt, so I had to opt for a 4mm one.

It went quite well till I had transmitter issues with I finally sorted for the end of the day, and managed to get a win in the C so not a bad end to the day.



Here you go Damo told you I would ware it with pride 😁



Was nice to share a pit with Gainsy and see Luke's old Procat out on the track
