Thumbs up 2 x Procats have just arrived for restoration

Help!

I'm seriously running out of room

A box just arrived containing (caked in cobwebs, dust and crud):

Procat which looks to be in nice condition and will clean up nicely with slipper clutch and full electrics.

Procat in ok but not as nice condition with slipper clutch and full electrics and front crashback black band missing (it's in the bottom of the box broken as it's perished with age).

Both have front one way/diffs fitted - wheels spin freely forwards but diff acts when wheels turned backwards so is there a one way layshaft?

Box full of motors including old Parma, Trinity and Kyosho

2 used Futaba Attack Sport TX's
1 new unused Attack Sport TX

Original (but tatty) Procat box
Original (but tatty) Procat manual
Original (been creased) decals in packet

New original Procat body, undertray and wing still with flat sheet formed base....will clean up nicely.

Bag full of tyres and wheels

Bag of some spares.

Pics to follow!

Plan is to make one Procat shelf queen and make the other into a runner (as per my other thread) with an XLS shell, wheels, chassis, shock tower.

Dan

Is that a blue nosram speedo Dan?

I think Jamie Booth used one in a cat xls in '89?

If it is, it would suit your cat xls.

Better get your gloves and apron on mate...it's clean up time

Hey,

They both have the blue ESC's in the centre of the cell slots underneath the top deck.

Unsure if they're Nosrams - I'll have a check at home as currently at work and stuck everything back in the box after taking the pics.

Yet again Paula will open a can of whoop ass on me but hopefully I've got some brownie point credit as she's just back from a shopping weekend in Dubai with my credit card (ouch).

Cheers,

Dan

Ha! Yes too true...."what do you think Dan, in the lounge - curtains or blinds?".......as I just nod whilst thinking of how to locate a rare Yokomo bumper or what colour wheels to put on my next ZX-R or YZ10......sometimes it's a bit too obvious as I don't even hear her speak and completely tune out......

Nice pro cats mate. Looking forward to seeing them restored.

That box reminds me of the best Xmas ever about 18 years ago...

Thanks all

Naushad, confirmed - the ESC's are Nosram Exterminators with what look like huge relays sticking out the top!

Some quick pics of No. 1 car after a ten minute clean-up.

Thinking about the paintjob for the new shell....





Need the orings for the wing...or small elastic bands!

Were full spikes the supplied kit tyres in the Cat XLS and Procat boxes when new?

Did some research, it seems the Cat XLS had T650 soft rear full spikes in the kit.
