I wonder if the wheels will be the original 2 inch version, and if they are, I wonder if they will make some 2.2 inch wheels so modern tyres will fit?

The Schumacher factory must be working incredibly hard at the moment, is that the fifth new car in January? I know the CAT XLS is a remake, but I suspect someone has had to go through all the original plans and get it into a modern CAD type program etc. And check all the original moulds..

I suspect most of the tooling is new - big investment

Some fantastic video footage of the CAT XLS from the 80's. Sit back and enjoy if you haven't already seen these!

Thanks for posting, and on viewing these, having not owned a CAT XLS I cannot believe how different it is to a Pro CAT transmission wise (Pro CAT was my first Schumacher car).

Incredible continuous development even then!

Watching the last clip on the 87 Championships, sooo spooky seeing what looks like an early Yokomo YZ-10 prototype..

There seems to be a big demand for this kit. For those who have ordered them, what are their plans for the cars ? Shelf queen, iconic racing, or just reliving their youth ?
