I would definity buy one if I didnt live in the USA.

woooo Bmaaagggg, why can't you have one in the usa?

I'd have to search the internet for parts, because my local tracks wouldnt be able to get parts in for me. Wes broke his predator in half here and cant get parts so it just sits on his shelf. So he bought a B44 to get parts easier.
Same thing with the Cat.

Honestly, getting parts is super simple. Ordering from Schumacher USA takes a day or 2 to get parts. Get your LHS owner to get set up as a Schumacher dealer. Just give Adam a ring, and get it set up

Im in the US. Car works AWESOME. It doesnt break like the 44s, or any other car really. Its just tough as hell LOL, believe me.... I have put this poor thing through abuse to see what will break. Nothing so far

Hi guys,

Here are some pics of my nearly completed CAT.

I will take some better ones when the car is completely finished. Getting ready for my first off road nationals since 1993 and my first modern off road meeting in nearly 13 years! I have been running vintage off road only for the last few years - hardly cutting edge stuff - but alot of fun. What brought me back ito be honest is the CAT....I have never been one to run what everyone else does - I have always liked something different (NOT at the expense of being competitive though). The CAT is a breath of fresh air in a cookie cutter world of 4wd's at the moment. After having a drive of a friends car at a recent meeting - I had to have one. Off road has bitten me again big time.

The paint scheme is pretty simple and no where near as complicated as some on here - I kinda like it though.

Thanks for looking.

Indoors - in the workshop - just after trimming and fitting:

Pussycats love the outdoors though!:

Looks good Darren, question though - do the JC wheels fit without mods?

RETRO R/C · #**128** 16-01-2009

Thanks mate,

The J Concepts wheels do fit - same as the B44 front and rear.

Cheers,

Darryn

You need to use B44 front hexes to use B44 front wheels. Def true for the AE std wheels, and i would assume same for the JC ones.

bender · #**130** 17-01-2009

Is this because of how deep the hex is in the JC wheel?

Could you reduce the depth of the hex in the wheel so it doesn't rub?

BlackedOutMugen · #**131** 17-01-2009

Adam said the relux are fine with the stock hex. I will know tomorrow

i'm using b44 hex's on mine, I've tried the standard hex that comes in the kit, but they cause rulux wheels to bind

The kit supplied adapters seem to be doing a fine job on mine.

Strange.

I will investigate.

Cheers

Which way round are you using the kit hexes? They are supposed to go on before the pin. I can see if you put the pin in then the hex then the wheels might not bind.....

IDK how Adam did his

If you put the hex on after the pin, you still need the washer on the other side, and I think they would rub that wouldnt they?

standard wheels is:- washer, pin, wheel.

hex wheels manaul is:- hex, pin, wheel.

to fit b44 wheels and rulux is:- washer, pin, hex, wheel.

by placing the hex on the outside is a risk of losing them, but no mods are needed to allow for the extra hex depth within b44 and rulux wheels.

you'r right there Si, if you fit the kit hex, like it says in the manual, then they will bind with rulux wheels, i'd never tried putting the washer first, i had the deeper b44 hex as spares, so just fitted them,
