Back in 1987, I was in secondary school in Singapore. I manged to persuade my parents to get me a Hotshot the year before. I wanted something more race oriented even though I have never raced and will likely never see any track time. Well, I did see track time but that was nearly 20 years in the making. Anyway, I managed to pester my folks to purchase an Optima Mid which I still have until today. Shortly after that acquisition, I heard that the Mid had taken second place in the worlds. Very impressive. Who was the culprit that beat my beloved Mid ? Non other than this Schumacher Cat that I'd never even heard of. The car that beat my Mid. Much hate. If not for this car, the Mid would have world champion. Fast forward to 2017, the CAT XLS was re released. I purchased 1 kit on a whim, did not purchase any hop ups at all. Left it in the store for years until last month. Saw some Youtube videos of Masami driving a re re CAT XLS. Decided that it was finally time to make an attempt on the CAT XLS. Started with the body

I got myself a Procat since I have always been curious about it. A friend of me used to race Schumacher cars back in the days, and I couldn't understand why he would do that instead of Tamiya :-) So ever since that time I have wanted one, and now I got one. I have decided that I will do a restore on this one and it will be a runner, that i could use in vintage races. Here is how the car looked like when i got it I haven't done much to the car yet, but i have dyed the wheels pink and have collected parts i need and other that i now know that i don't need. This is the state the car is in now, most of the parts have been disassembled I will be making some carbon fiber parts for it, to save the old parts until it goes to the shelf. The originals being 2mm, i will be using 3mm CF to make it a bit stronger I should mention that this will be a longterm project as i hardly find any time for RC these days.
