Noice!:cool:

Are all the plastic parts new? They look so black & shiney!:)

xfactor 21-02-2014 01:05 PM

Hi Dan,

No some of the plastics are new.

New fitted are,

Front bulk head.
Rear bulk head.
Driveshafts.
Transmission case.
Hinge pin blocks.
Shock towers front/rear carbon.
Hinge pins
Rear shock bodies.
Front hinge pin brace.

Think thats it Dan. I clean all my plastics with Pledge, pre-wash with washing up liquid warm not hot then pledge them. :D

Hi all,

Just had to put this up. My race buggy is a Tamiya 201 Vega Gen3 I have just put the Cougar 2 Team against the Gen3 and its nearly as long. If I was to put Cougar front wishbones on I think it would be longer.:woot:

I find this very interesting as the Cougar is 1991 where as the Gen3 is 2013 I just would not of thought that the Cougar 2 was so long. This said the original Cougar would be longer :woot:
