New SV chassis
 

do you know the part numbers

Sorry no

U3849-Chassis
U3848-Top Deck

At last:lol: maybe more grip will be found, just hope it's a reasonable price, unlike the current "soft" top deck:yawn:.

thanks deepdale11

£54.99 chassis
£14.99 top deck

what with the new chassis and top deck,the new gearbox and gears.that will be about the same price in parts as the Losi22:woot:

Can any of the team guys comment on how much difference these make?

Already spent a fortune on "upgrades" on this car and starting to regret buying a car that needs so many major new parts to get it up to scratch.

Gearbox casings, internals, bearings now the complete chassis?

theres no need for any of the Optional upgrades,as it suggest there optional,

wrong thread

That may well be, but some of the upgrades also solve known issues...

Anyway, does anyone have experience of the new chassis?

?????:lol:, Yep only fit them if you want the car to work, but true it's an option

i have spoke with chris hahlen in langenfeld he was running this chassis.
he says it is a lot better in the corner, more cornerspeed.
this chassis has also more flex than standard one.

sorry dubble post

Well I have been testing various length chassis' with the rest of the team and we all feel that the 8mm+ gives the best all round performance increase. I have been using it at the Ardent series and its made the car much easier to drive consistently.

As far as i am concerned it takes away a little of the grip from the front end and makes the car better balanced. It also enables you to move the lipo's about a bit if you want too (im using a bit of foam at the rear)

We are not too sure what this chassis will be like in a mega grip situation outside as obviously we've not done a lot of track time with it. I managed to get a run around coventry with yellows and staggers and i was very happy with it, if that helps.

Again this is only my opinion as some people may like the standard car, its only an optional extra, but in my mind well worth the investment.

Hope that helps.

Perhaps you should look at the results from the team last year before you make such a stupid comment about making 'the car work'

As Danny has said, it is an option which we have been trying as a team over the winter as is very much down to personal preference. It does make the car easier to drive and take some of the aggression away, but personally that is what I love about the car so like I say, each to their own.

Other parts that have been released (alloy gearbox) have been a great addition to the car, and I have no doubt that having ran this chassis, many people will find it another great addition to their own.

I disagree!, It's not a stupid comment, as I suspect there are many normal club drivers who feel they have had to spend money on the car to improve/tame the back end in low grip situations and improve reliability, A few people to be fair have said they have had little problem with ware in the transmission, but most have been a little disapointed in the ware rate.
I think it is fair to say that when the grip is low (damp grass or wet astro) the car can be a wild ride that few enjoy. And I'm no expert, but I would suspect that this chassis is part of the answear to this problem.But at 70quid for chassis and top deck, it's no cheep option,if you have already bought the exsisting soft top deck, and diffrent top link mounts etc costs are adding up

I never look at team drivers results to see how good a car is, As you are a very talented bunch, If I gave you a shoe box with Schumacher on the side, four wheels and a motor , you would most lightly still be a lap in front of us clubies:D.

Don't want to start an oople handbag fight:thumbdown:, I respect the fact you are a quality driver who has stuck with schumacher through thick and thin.

I respect the fact that schumacher are always working on making the car better and solve problems, But I think I and a few other are starting to feel is these improvements are starting to add up cost wise on a car that already has a hefty price tag for a club driver

Lastly, my post was a tong in cheek reply to the previous post, that i felt was a little ubrealistic to a fair few cougar drivers

schumacher should have spent an extra year testing, instead of using the public as testing guinea pigs. Have bought my 1st and last schumacher:thumbdown:

Development.
 

The Cougar is a great car and good on Schumacher for pushing forward with development. In any form of racing if you don’t develop your product you will get overtaken. The Cougar had a stunning first year and Schumacher are just trying to make sure it doesn’t get overtaken as one of the very best 2WD’s out there.
