Cougar set up

[DB01RS]

What is a good motor/esc and gearing set up for a cougar sv. Running on outdoor AstroTurf using yellow mini spikes?

An 8.5 or 7.5 brushless sensored setup is ideal in a 2wd buggy.
Speed passion, LRP, Tekin, Nosram, Novak are all good brands.
Hobbywing sensored is a very close match to the speed passion if your on a budget for a speedo.
Orion motors also popular.

I would estimate about 23 pinion 81 spur or approx.

Hope this helps

In my Cougar i use an lrp X12 8.5 with a 24 pinion and 80 spur. I find it gives nice smooth delivery and plenty of top end speed .

Im running the spur that come with it, 23 pinion, 10 degrees mechanical on an SPV3 7.5.

Small amount of timing on the esc though, wish id just bought a 6.5 and done away with the boost.
