Cougar 95 with laydown front end conversion. It isn't a 95 Team.

Narrow chassis means it's a Cougar 95. The early Cougar 2000 cars had a wider chassis so you had somewhere to mount your radio gear, the Cougar 95 had this narrow chassis and the kit included two vac formed lexan pockets that screwed on to either side of the top deck to sit the receiver and ESC into, although it was a lot simpler just to stick them the undertray.

Front end is Schumachers SACS, standing for Schumacher Active Caster System. The idea is that as the chassis pitches forwards and backwards under acceleration and braking the caster on the front suspension stays the same. It was standard on the 95.

Laydown front shocks was an option part from Schumacher.

Plastic driveshafts were an upgrade from the alloy ones, the plastic ones didn't bend or wear out and were more efficient.

You have the standard Cougar 95 model as it has battery slots in the chassis, the 95 Team version had a separate battery tray and a big hole in the chassis, so you could move the battery to adjust weight balance. The 95 Team also had a different rear suspension with a quite different rear wishbone mount.

If you want to check to compare with the standard 95 manual above, there is the manual for the 95 Team here
