Schumacher Cougar 2 WORKS REBUILD !!
 

So here we go again.....:rolleyes:

I won this on Ebay a while back and have kept it in a box until I was ready to rebuild it.

A good friend of mine knew I was looking for one a while back and found this for me.

It was put in the WRONG area of ebay. It was under Tamiya and that was it.:D

Now being the type of good, honest, trust worthy type of guy I am. !! I DID NOT TELL HIM WHAT IT WAS !!.....:lol::lol:

I bid on it and WON IT !! Now when it turned up I realized it wasnt a Tamiya. It was only a Cougar 2 WORKS.......:D:D:D:D:D

I will be rebuilding soon, so will put pics along the way.....

Here are the pics of it when it was on Ebay. Not sure if they are any good.

Nice Tamiya!

Looking forward to seeing this transformation! - What are your plans for the chassis?

Hi Dan,

The chassis is being Hydro-Dipped. It should be black/silver carbon. Im also having a set of plates done the same. I also have a spare set so will either be purple or the Hydro plates.

I have spent some time on the chassis rubbing down so there is no marks....:thumbsup:

Cougar 2 Works Motor Plates.
 

I have been working on the Cougar 2 Works motor/transmission plates today.

I have stripped and finished them in Mirror Chrome Purple. They look awesome. I will post pics once I have finished the complete Works Gear Box.

:thumbsup::thumbsup:

So do you have to remove all the old purple before you can hydro dip them?

Hi Daz,

No you dont have to remove the purple. Just all grease etc.. and smooth out any marks for a better finish.

I dont do the Hydro-Dipping its RichyUK on here that does all my stuff. There is a waiting list but worth the wait.

I have done the purple plates today, but these are not Hydro-Dipped. I have another set of Cougar works plates being Hydro-Dipped in Black/Silver carbon.

But I think I will use these Chrome purple plates I did today......:D:D:D

Be good to see it when done :thumbsup:

Tease :p
Get it built :D

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Cant rush perfection Gainsy. You know that !!:D:D:D:D

Im trying to get them finished for the ICONIC at A1.:thumbsup:

I will post a sneaky pic of the gearbox for you now.:D

Heres a piccy of the works gearbox. Its not finished just a couple of screws holding it together.

Lol:D

Chrome purple looks shexy - how do you do that?

it does look amazing, can you do the screws in the same colour too?

That does look good id say it was a wrap?

Cheers Lads for the kind words.

Pleased with how they look. Think it will be stunning against the Black/Silver Carbon.

The TOP SECRET IS !!

Glue, tooth paste mixed with crushed parmaviolets purple things you eat.:lol:

The Mrs made it AWESOME Yes !!:lol::lol:

Pro Diff, Slipper and WASP Belt
 

Pro Diff stripped cleaned, came up like new. WASP orange belt ready for the gearbox and slipper shaft cleaned with idler.

New belt adjusters should be here tomorrow, so will be able to finish the gearbox. I also have a new WORKS gear cover to cut out for it to finish it off.

Update !!
 

Hi all,

For those who are interested, just had info on chassis,

Chassis is being worked on at the moment, so I hope to have it by next weekend.

As soon as its here I will post pics of the chassis and plates.......:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Could I get scratched losi xx parts re anodised in the same way?

You could but you need to polish the hell out of it, the better it goes to them the better the finished product :thumbsup:

Saw a pic of xx and it looked quality and I've got more trinity stuff on.mine who does it go to?

Hi Daz,

Peaky is right. You need to polish and smooth out any marks. If you dont you will see every scratch/mark as anodising does not hide marks only colours them.

You would be able to HYDRO DIPPED them though. But as above you will need to get all the marks out for a better finish.

I spent a lot of time rubbing out and polishing up the chassis ready for the HYDRO DIPPING.

Hope that helps matey......:thumbsup:

Thanks mate what do you use to Polish it

I have found Autosol to be the best. Its in a black and gold tube.

Chrome purple .. lovely.. How are you doing this ?
