Due to popular demand here's another thread :thumbsup:

This will be my 2WD entry for this year's revival, this was a gift from the legend that is Mr Rowlands :thumbsup:

So this was what I received

It started life as a team car and came with a works rear box. I managed to pick this up from Fiberlyte as part of a project they did for someone but they never got finished.

I started to strip it the other night and the rear diff felt a bit stiff and had a hole in it???

It took some getting apart and it soon became clear why

Yep some numpty had glued it up and for some reason had drilled thought it so the only thing that's good for is the bin!!

I managet to get a works chassis from Chris for a template so I could trim the cf chassis down. All that's left to do is trim a little off the front and then drill it :D

That's about as far as I've got for now, more to follow as soon as I get chance I've got a TC to build first that I need for June. I really need to prioritise thing lol.

Nice J,

Will look awesome with that chassis fitted mate.:thumbsup:

Thanks mark, I just need to make sure I drill It all in the right place and hope it all lines up :lol:

Just build with the chassis I sent. You wouldn't want to hurt that carbon baby on the track. Send it over. I'll give it a nice cozy home in my display case. :D

Hey Justin nice to see yours is underway now too :thumbsup:
do you have a spare diff to use? Or the parts to rebuild it?

Also Damo has the genuine works tower pattern from towers that I gave him to template so if you need some you know where to go:D

Don't worry mate there will be 1 available very soon;)

Not a chance you've got way too much good stuff anyway.

I've got diffs buddy don't worry about that ;) and I've also got a set of works towers I got them with the chassis.

Soon :lol: maybe but he's been saying that for the last 2 years :lol: or is he doing it before all the other stuff he's got on that ever expanding list :thumbsup:

Yes what's the deal with this? We have been waiting for some time now.

Moulds are being made at the moment hopefully have some news in the next week or so

Lol it's only been 1 year;)

Really it seems a lot longer :lol:

I'm hoping for some parts for my Procat in about 4 years then :woot:

Nice work on the Chassis, Justin. I remember the thread from 10talk about getting these made again but FL pulled out as they said it wasn't do able in a practical sense.


I really like the Cougar 2, when its decked out with the silver shocks, carbon towers and metal driveshafts it looks ace. Also nice touch on that one with the white rod ends!!

Any one know good place to get a chassis anodised, I have one but it needs a refurb?

Lol at that diff

I managed to salvage a bearing out the diff 😂😂😂😂😂

I would use nail varnish remover on that diff J.......:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

I use it on my tyres/wheels. Over night the glue has turned to jelly......:D:D:D

Use it, use it, use it

Is that infinity motor going begging?

It's way beyond that buddy trust me!!

Welcome out the shodows Foggy 😉 I don't need it so if you want it buddy it's yours pm me and we'll sort it.

Surely the alloy diff halves might be salvageable after a dip in some acetone??

I'm working on a Cougar 2 rebuild myself

Maybe salvageable but they've got holes in so surly that will unbalance them
