For what it's worth i just got the Carbon chassis. With everything else as per kit and a chunky Tekin RSX it weighs in race ready with transponder and chassis protector at 1496g with dart rears and stagger fronts. The carbon chassis is very cleverly cut with the longitudinal channels allowing twist whilst remaining longitudinally stiff.

Cougar is not getting much exposure in the US as the Losi/TLR and AE steamrollers are releasing laydown versions. With the proliferation of carpet/astro, the Yokomo/X-Ray seem to get first mention everywhere. Bizarre, as Orlowski won the EOS 2wd with a Cougar KC!
