Default Bosscat model ID

Hi, this was a recent purchase from ebay.

I think this is U440 Bosscat competion spec, released in 1992. I do not know what the specification of car should be from the factory.

The asymmetrical chassis is an upgrade (it also came with the standard carbon fibre chassis)

It has works rear wishbones and hubs, slipper clutch, roller drive shafts and front one-ways. It could also have pro-diffs, but have not had a look inside yet.




This car is in very good condition. One of the wing mounts is broken, missing one battery strap and the original wheels.

I have that chassis on my car as well, can't remember why we ran it...was a while back. It's now a pain in the arse as cells are a mutch larger now days and things get very very close to the pinion! I still have my original may have to fit it

The red side plates were off the TEAM version while the purple were from the WORKS spec. Roller drive shafts and slipper were both available on the TEAM and WORKS cars while that chassis plate was a tuning option from Schumacher and I don't remember it being released as part of a kit. (could be worng though)

The USA chassis was different again. The 8 cell slots from the original release were cut down to just 6, moved forward and closer to the centre line of the chassis.

Here's a pic of mine-
