You know your bitten by the RC Racing bug when your pulling parts off your shelf queens to put on the racecar. !!! Great Stuff

I can confirm schumacher know exactly what they're doing, specifically the MI and CAT series, I have a couple of their cars and they stand well apart from the crowd in a very obvious way, it's like a custom engineering vs stock feel.

Nah,gavin. You're doing a great job with that vintage cougar. You actually need a much better track availability along with faster groups of guys.The car itself, drips capability...Its gorgeous, strong and tight looking. U need tracks where the car can really stretch her legs. The paint and overall looks are vicious..Its awesome gavin..Happy trails and good luck......thanx for the vi6

Very cool. It makes me want to buy lots of those upgrades as my cougar just sits on the shelf. I hope it would get me to go to my local track.

100% worth driving on a track, its a fun one to race for sure :) It will run well out the box really so give it a go.

I also have V2 big bore shocks, but the top cap is a ball socket (instead of a bolt through cap like yours) and the ball-end bolt isn't long enough to add a stand-off...and without a stand-off, the shock is too close to the front shock mount which makes the shock touch the tie rods. I waiting on a response from my hobby shop to see if I can either get a longer ball-screw or a bolt-through shock cap. Also, the bottom spring stopper on the shock sits too low and touches the a-arm which interferes with the movement. I see the you have aftermarket a-arms which I assume eliminates this problem. Suggestions?

It was probably a slip of the tongue, but running the Yokomo rear wheels doesn't increase wheelbase, it increases the track.

Love this build. I've considered a few if these upgrades for my cougar but can't justify the price considering i haven't broken anything.....yet😬 I would built one from parts if i had my time again.

@Droidy77 Жыл бұрын
It's insane how expensive some of those little bits and pieces are, but completely understandable when machining and materials and so on need to be paid for. The important thing to remember is the satisfaction of the craftsmanship and an optimised the build for the hobby, and the fact that you can have just as much fun without all the extras.

Blimey, not much of the original car left🤣🤣 Seriously, whatever anyone else thinks, so long as you're happy with it then that's all that matters. Personally I think it looks awesome!!

The front shock tower came from a guy on eBay UK. I contacted him an asked for a 3mm thick version. The carbon chassis came from www.jcracingproducts.co.uk/schumacher-carbon-chassis for the UK and if you are in the US, best to go direct to MSP RC facebook.com/profile.php?id=100085054200314

Gavin....sorry to bother you with this ...but what screw driver do you find is best fitted for the Schumacher builds as well as Tamiya.... any car that still utilizes the "Phillips style screw head" Thanks in advance Ed
@RCKickschannel 9 ай бұрын
Tamiya use JIS and Schumacher use Philips, so at a quick glance you would think these are the same but NOPE! If you mix them up you will be rounding off screws all over the place.

Nice overview - thank you! Two questions: 1. You did not (need to) use U7985 (LiPo post spacers) as you don't use standard shorties? LCG are longer and do not fit, do they? 2. Where on eBay did you purchase the damper cap protectors? Many thanks in advance!
@RCKickschannel Жыл бұрын
Did I put U7985, it should be U7984 short alloy lipo posts. I run the extra thin battery so need the short posts.
