The Schumacher CAT revolutionised off road racing when it was introduced in 1986, being years ahead of the competition.
It became an international success winning British, European, Japanese, Australian, and American championships.
It was updated with a longer wheelbase and Masami Hirosaka went on to win the 1987 1/10th 4WD IFMAR World Championships in Romsey, England.
We are now excited to offer this iconic replica of the car that Masami used to win the first of his many World Championships, and put Schumacher Racing on the map as a leading RC car manufacturer.
The CAT XLS Masami features:
- Ball differentials, which had been invented by Cecil Schumacher in 1978.
- Unique integrator system offering adjustable torque split between front and rear.
- Double wishbone suspension with massive travel. - Alloy coil over oil filled shock absorbers. - Full replica decal set.
- Huge steering lock to handle the tightest tracks.
- Front O ring ‘crashback’ system to minimise front end crash damage.
- Compact design with low polar moment of inertia and low centre of gravity gives the CAT remarkable manoeuvrability and balance.
- Tough polycarbonate bodyshell and undertray to keep out the dirt.
- Original Schumacher spiked tyres.
- Accepts period nicad/nimh batteries or modern shorty lipos.
- Accepts brushed or brushless motors.
- Transmission upgrade available to handle modern high powered motors, and create a class leading buggy for historic RC racing.

Hi I have just bought he Schumacher 1 x #SCH-K172 - Schumacher CAT XLS . I’m buying it for my fiancée as a present. I’m not an expert but I would like to know if this car has a battery and a motor? Will he be able to use it straight away or he needs anything else to it. Also does it come painted or we need to paint it ourselves. Regards
Gosia
Asked by Gosia on 23rd November 2019
Hi Gosia,
This is a race kit, so requires all electronics and full assembly - it's not "Ready to Run". If you'd like some help choosing a car that might be more suitable, then don't hesitate to give our team a quick call or email and we will be happy to help!

Can I buy the race package but upgrade the motor?
I will also need a full compliment of tools to build the car.
Thanks
