Well i've resisted an xls ever since I've been back racing (beginning of this year). But couldn't resist the one I have just bought off the bay...

I've bought quite a few vintage Schueys (2000's, 3000, Cougar2 Team and Works) and amassed quite a lot of NIP spares but I never expected to get an xls (had one when I raced as a kid:D) I expect that getting it up to spec isn't going to be cheap, but it will be fun.

Watch this space....:thumbsup:

Wondered who's it was going to be. Just need to find some wing buttons by the looks of it.

Your not getting rid of any Cougar diff parts still are you?

All the best with the move to OZ there's plenty of vintage racing there i believe.

Cheers

What's the point of getting an XLS if you're going to put a Procat chassis on it???
:eh?:

Because it's not a Procat chassis, it's a carbon replica of the Schumacher XLS saddle pack chassis. The XLS came with the stick chassis as standard but they sold a saddle chassis as a hopup. Check out the link above for yourself. I have now got a fibre glass original saddle version from a mate to put on now.
