Thankyou for the compliment.

As with all the schumacher buggies changes were made between models for a reason. Its taken me years to work alot of it out as there is no real source to go to when wondering which parts suite a particular application.

The original Cougar had the longer wheelbase which for me equates to better stabilty while the Cougar2 has a shorter wheelbase with its swept front arms. Then there are the rear arms. There are few options available which range from the LWB through to Medium and even Short wheelbase aswell as the works arms which are somewhere in the middle.

I usualy look at the track i want to drive on and then establish how tight the cornering might be and thats a good start. Then i consider what motor class i want to run and this ends up as part of my decission along with the tyres I have on hand or what works at the track best.

Im far from an expert but just try thinking a bit about what i want from the car and the best way to go about getting it.
