Hmm well depends on who you talk to about cougars, not had one, but a few club drivers I know have had a rough time with them in low grip situations, as for the 22, no mortal club driver has one yet, only team drivers....and they say it GREAT, but hey...they would. so untill febuary who knows (mind you I have ordered one)

You have to give the B4.1 a look as it's been a great car for years, my B4 I just love, and driven the same one for 5 years, only trying the 22 as I fancy a go with somthing else...But my B4 stays

i ran the b4 last season, witch half way through the season i had to sell up due to needing house desposit, and now on the hunt for another for next outdoor season, i have heard mixed opions on the cougar and obv not that many on the losi, maybe to early to decide yet, but losi has defo caught my eye n made me think twice about the cougar

The other thing to consider ian is the overall cost, Losi below £200 SV around £250. Not sure on what other stuff would be needed to get either up to race spec !!!

not morage was deposit for rented pace, and selling everything up apart from radio gear pretty much paid for it so managed to get the house and now get to buy new again so all in its a win win, even though didnt seem it at the time of selling up, i think im gonna take the risk and go with the losi and order one up, seems to be a lot of mixed reveiws on the cougar and looks like all the good ones are from people who have spent money changing bits, the schumacher does look nicer to me but, seems losi have ticked all the boxes with the car just depends on weather its any good, will have to wait until get one to find that one out lol, going to be intresting to see what ae come out with now seems the top contender is being pushed slowly down,
