Cougar servo saver?

[sunbeam]

Hi,

I've just put my order in for a Cougar.

I'm told that it is a good idea to have a sevo saver but there is very little room for one. Can anybody tell me where I can buy a good one that has a Savox/Futaba fitting to fit a Cougar?

Also does anybody have a REALLY scrappy body I can have for basically the the postage cost? I'm getting the car Tuesday and want to race it Friday. The new body will be in the painters, so I a need something on the chassis for Friday.

Many thanks

tip: Don't use a servo saver as it slows down the steering, I have never run one with a Savox 1258 servo and never had any probs.

OK, thanks.

Is there any parts I should keep in my pit box or up-grades badly needed for the 2011 SV Pro?

You might want to use an alloy servo horn, the plastic ones can easily strip.

Ones that fit well are the Answer RC straight (non-clamping) horn, and the Losi horns. (Both in stock in all flavours at rcLazy.com).

Otherwise, the only thing I've broken regularly is the front top bulkhead.

Why did you sell the losi 22 i dont mind as i have a cougar just wondering

Only things i have done is is lost the little screws and washer that hold the front axles on,i have a atomic carbon front link plate,and a rw gear set but thats about it.
Washers to alter your links,a set of screws to hold the wheels on for replacement

Front hub carriers, these are a bit of a weak spot on the SV. (You can install B4 ones which are half the price and much stronger)

Do you have a part number for the Associated hub carrier that fits? Is it a direct replacment?

Thanks.

The Losi build quality is great and it really seems better in most areas than most other cars I've used. But I think the mid motor set-up is an after thought made just to keep the European market happy. In mid motor it is imposable to fit R/C neatly. In fact, the car dictates what gear you fit for the most part !!! And when you have finished, you will still have wires squashed in all over the place. You can't even fit a Tekin RS on the ESC mount they provide for ESC fitment, and the Tekin is a 'small' ESC !!!!!

TOTALLY STUPID !!

In rear motor, I'm sure it is all fine, but then it's a Yank car, made for the Yanks, so they have looked after their own, as normal !!

I raced Schumacher all the time 20 years ago, and it's nice to come back to a British car

Interesting, I was half considering a 22 as I have not always got on with my cougar...

Despite a few niggles, the Cougar is a very nice piece of engineering and from what I have been told the more fragile parts are being worked on, hence why I am keeping mine.

I have just rung Schumacher. They say the car has no weak points and are NOT working on any up-grades, but are working on a new 2WD car !!
