well I'm team driver but I'll try to say what I really think.
When I got this car I really struggled on our very hard packed track with layer of very loose dust. I wasn't able to compete against others who I've beaten year before with my XXX-CR and X6 (switched car during season). Well it was new car and there was only little knowledge about setting car properly for my conditions that was at first 2 races (got to A final but was somewhere on tail), next 4 races were different story, firstly I got to same level then got even faster - resulted in 4 wins. I wouldn't return to X6 - was damn lazy car compared to Cougar and I didn't like that much. Yes it was a bit more work to make car work as I wanted it, but with help of other team drivers (mostly Nathan Ralls) it was achievable.
To tuning parts - personally I don't have any of mentioned - Alloy gearbox or longer chassis. I think I'll look into chassis as it should help me in my loose conditions but it should be just fine on high grip tracks.
Yes I defend this car because I truly like it and I love my Cat (won all national rounds here). I used to be huge Losi fan 2 years ago and didn't want to switch brand at time. So it's definitely not about me running Schuey cars for time being.
