The Cougar Thread

lol sorry had to be done ill get my coat

[MattW]

One thing i'd probably suggest getting is a pair of the "dog leg" ball grippers for the front camber link. They aren't expensive, but because of their nature, if you do break one, you wouldn't be happy to be taken out for a day's racing for something so simple....and yes, I have broken one!

[smitty]

i know it was probably a silly question to ask but didn t want it to arrive and find i needed to buy bits to get it running and then finding all these bits are out of stock thanks for your help

I've ran around for around 2 hours at my local track over the past week and a half as well as running it at the first national and all I've 'managed' to break is a Servo!!

The car is seriously strong and I've managed to put it through a fair bit of testing.

as matt said the front ball cup on the outside, is something thats just used on this car so probably worth having,wishbones and hubs as well, may be a front shock tower just in case, we have broken anything yet but this is probably the kiss of death lol

Got wishbones etc. but we'll add that to our stock (share spares with a few other mates).

Any news on the release, I see in the Oople report they were hoping to release it very soon, but the ash cloud caused a few set backs.

SX2 now delayed until 10 - 17th May according to Modelsport, they expect the SV to be the same....

Hey Mike, you wont know what to do with yourself when the car is released, you wont have nothing left to type about once it arrives........

im sure he can tell us by then the quickest way to pick up a polybutler after it has fallen over for the umpteenth time in the same day

Like everyone else, I haven't recieved my cougar yet, but I did order some of the other standard breakables. I am a little O.C.D. I love the quality of the Schumie parts, always clean and solid materials. A couple of guys run TD's and I have to say they sound like trucks, I have no problem waiting for the good stuff

Hi Guys

Going to pre order my Cougar tonight, just wondering if availability is likely to be better with the Pro CF Kit or Assembled version?

Thanks

We have been told that the "kits" will be coming first (this coming week hopefully), followed "shortly" (not sure how long this is) after by the pre-assembled versions.....

[moth898]

Go with the kit either way, putting it together yourself helps diagnose any problems and repair them faster since you know how they fit.

Used my car at the weekend, (Cougar that is) and got to say very impressed. Car was awesome :-)

[Cruise]

Played in the dirt for the first time (Practice and setup search for euro warmup) and was up with the home boy's times.

Setupsheet as soon as it is scanned.
