A quick update:
Fibre-Lyte are currently trying to work with a Cougar chassis they have to see if they can make a mould from it. However, are there any clever design people out there that make convert the tub chassis design into a flat one? The entire front and side tub section can be omitted in my opinon. It can be recreated by making the front secion of the chassis a little wider so a replacement GRP 'wall' could be screwed into the chassis to mount the velcro on for the body.
The rear end is where the problem lies due to the wishbones being mounted the the lip of the chassis and then on the top of the tub. Not being smart when it comes to this, the only possible solution I can see is making the rear end a seperate section that bolts onto the front part of the chassis somewhere. We all did something similar 20 years ago when racing Mardave stock cars whereby we sliced the back end of the chassis off and made a rocking T-Bone section to mount the motor on.
