Schumacher Cougar Project

[MHeadling]

Just thought I would post some pics of my restoration project,

I bought 2 x Cougars, I may build both up but one will do for now!

Here are some pics of what I have so far.........

This is the ebay Cougar I bought:

Just started the strip down of the E bay Cougar, looks all there really.

I have bought a new bulkhead and will start cleaning/re-building soon. So far I have stripped it and given it a basic clean: Here are some pics:

Here is it so far to date,

I have had chassis Vapour Blasted and got new arms/hubs on the front.



Next up is the gearbox, I am going to build this up using my ali trans housing from other Cougar 1 and go from there!

I will post up some more pics soon on the build.

Been buying some new parts and got a Novak period ESC and a Reedy Sonic Motor I got of ebay going in it, just need to find some 1700 SCRC cells!

a good start there. Are you going to build it as an original cougar or a hybrid?

ORIGINAL WOULD BE NICE TO SEE

[MHeadling]

Yes the Cougar with the Vapour blasted chassis will be Original, I may put Cougar SV ball joints on it and the original white glass fibre tower on it, the rest will be as per kit.

The Cougar in the first set of pics maybe be a bling version with Cat SX shocks, Carbon chassis, who knows.........
