Schumacher Cats were a force to be reckoned with. Looking at the detailed pics at Otley Modelsport (yeah, they’re still going!) I think they were very light and efficient compared to most stuff - there’s really nothing to them! I had an Optima as well and I remember it was quite a heavy car and although it handled very well the 4WD slowed it down quite a lot compared to a 2WD setup and it hammered the battery. I remember I ran mine in 2WD quite a lot of the time to speed it up.
