[madmonk]

I was wondering how much is the going rate is for a 7 month old Schumacher cougar sv? its just the car no servos or electrics but has all carbon parts (chassis shock mounts etc) your advice is much appreciated regards chris

Most of the ones that other people have sold on here have gone for around £100-£170. Hope this helps

it does cheers , how good are these i know different people have different views on them as last one i raced was the cougar 2000 and the losi xx

I have one but i have not got round to fitting electrics yet but it does look very well built. They do seen to go very well and it has won many high profile races in the thumbs of Tom Cockerill and there are lots of very good setups on the Schumacher website.

put it this way i watch the for sale section alot and you dont see that many going thru so people who do buy them must like them to drive so worth a dabble were as its another story for the tlr 22 these going thru there like a dog with diarrhea so basicly go for around the same price and there new this year if i had the pennies id defo have a cougar sv.

I'm running one for about a year now and absolutely love it. I had a couple of minor issues in the beginning but it hasn't let me down at all since they were sorted. The 2011 spec fixed all the issues I had. I would definitely recommend the cougar SV.

I'm currently selling a cougar SV pro on ebay starting bid of £130.

My issues were the original layshaft gear which I replaced with an RW steel one piece layshaft, the turnbuckles were originally steel and tbh not very good, changed these to titanium and problem solved. As I said previously the 2011 spec addressed these issues as well the external idler gears which I had no trouble with. The only other thing I did was put good quality ceramic bearings in the gearbox not entirely necessary but I've had no trouble so a good idea in my book.
