At £284 I'm gonna give it as miss

£260 at MB Models :woot:

Well overpriced.

Can't see many club racers running it at that price:eh?:

Why is this deemed to be overpriced at £285, compared to the likes of an XB4 2WD or DB1 etc it is cheap. And I would much rather have this than the XB4 2WD regardless of what they cost.

Cougar KF

I agree - seems a fairly mid level price. More than a yokomo, losi etc but less than an xray, kyosho.

Schumacher another hudy new car every 6 month it's a joke

Why a Joke ?

Schumacher are offering three different car's for a dedicated track type, no compromise on use, this KF is designed for high grip surfaces.

I'll be having one, deffo

I understand that looking at the competitors' offerings and the fact it's probably a smaller production run it's a 'normal' price... but I still find it a lot to pay for a car that works in more specific conditions than conventional mid- and rear-motor 2WDs. 2WD So far has been a relatively affordable class...

That said, I like the design of the KF :)

I tend to disagree. This car would be competing directly with the DB1, DB2, XB4 2WD and TM2. All of those cars are designed with high grip tracks in mind also and this new Cougar is priced favourably against all of those.

its still a joke new car every 6 month can't
be that much difference
that's why i got out of touring cars to many
money grabbing manufacturing company

Fair point, but it pushes towards a trend of 2WDs costing nearly the same as 4WDs even if it's favourably priced to the high-bite 2WDs it competes against. It's not criticism to specifically the KF, it's to the fact that a 4WD rear end on a 2WD apparently has to push prices up by 50 quid :thumbdown:

Yea looks nice but expensive will be sticking with my sv. What happened to the days where one car but different setup to suit the different grip levels on different tracks things are getting a little out of hand really

I currently have an SV2 and race on carpet and astro. Fed up with rebuilding diffs and the new car has a gear diff as standard. This is schumacher's answer to the DB1/2 and the TM2 and is well priced with these cars in mind.

Have placed my order. Cannot wait to get it on the track.

with more and more clubs running astro its the newer type of 2wd that is starting to dominate now, and hats off to Schumacher for producing a car that can take on the likes of the TM2, DB1 and such likes, wouldn't it be a boring world if we all drove the same cars.:woot: and it's also priced well.

That's a very nice car, really like the design and the shell and I'm not a schuey guy.
Price wise this is a step compare to a Yok for example, off course, but this is a fair offering, those kind of cars are pricey no matter what.

Considering one season racing the DB1 I would kill for such car if it behaves well on wet astro at least and it seems the last trend of cars are better and better.
You got to drive one of those to understand how good it is.
You'll need a RM car for dirt and maybe winter wet astro but for anything else the new mid forward trend will be a blast, no doubt about it.

Nobody's forcing anyone to buy it!!!

If you think it's too expensive then simply don't get one!

It's comparable in terms if cost with similar cars from other manufacturers so it's competitively priced!

as far as im aware the cougar sv2 and Kr are not being replaced by this, this is an addition,
kr dirt/low grip
sv mid grip
kF high grip

the level of racing im at I will stick to my sv2, that's only due to off road being my fun class! also ran sv2 at robin hood dirt, ok not as fast as an svr/kr but I had fun!

its good to see a manufacture designing products that work on a specific grip level and not trying to do one car that's compromised by its design as it has to cope with all three situations.
