Took longer than it should have as had to contact Schumacher 4 times due to parts issues. These were resolved quickly but still annoying
What were the part problems?

Interestingly Robin said that Yokomo are Schumacher's distributor in Japan.

They might and they did tease the 834 some years ago but nothing, but you never know if they see the cat doing well

I'd love to have one of these as a runner. My original Procat is too dear for me to drive it as much as I want.

Is the upgraded drive train set really necessary? What's the difference?

EDIT:
I read the manual. The upgrade seems to have a coarser belt and pulley pitch. Probably 3mm pitch.

Default help please!!!!!

Hi, eventually got my hands on my xls. Never built one before. All was going well upto step 19. Please can anyone help or offer some advice. Ive spent over an hour on this stage and no matter what I do cant get the front end assembled. The holes line up but as soon as I try assemble the side plastic parts (not the gear casing but the outer parts) everything gets thrown out of line and nothing assembles as it should. No idea what is going on!!!!

In the end I phoned Schumacher, and spoke to the technical department. They said the spur gear movement is normal.

As for the front end it's just a bit fiddly as you have to line up so many components at the same time.

Mine is a toatal pain, as soon as I line up ones side the other is way out. It might end up on feebay as an abandoned project at this rate!!

It's almost the same as on my Procat. The front gearbox has steps on each side. The steps need to go under the step on each side piece. The gearbox can slide forward an backwards using these steps as guides, and the steps clamp down on the gearbox later on to hold it in position after pulling the belt tight.
