Really great video, Matthew! Learnt a lot from it. Good pointer about the motor screws washers - never would have thought about that.

Thank you for your review Matthew, its great to see what you dot for the hobby, there are many herds in the hobby, its good you help many others, you should be winning with the Silverstone lot as most that race there are rubbish.

No problem Chris, I’m glad you liked the video. Please come up to the club to help get the driving standard up 🤞🏆

Great video, have subscribed! Any chance of sharing an STL file for your lipo / stiffener creation? I am restoring my club 10 and plan to convert to brushless and shorty lipos. Someone suggested I check out your videos before drilling my chassis as I'd rather not drill it. Would be interested to know what filament you used also to make it stiff. Cheers!

I like your videos a good review from someone who actually races them , not someone who just builds them with every option to stick on the shelf . I have never raced off road before, but just got a Cougar and Procat to have a go at vintage off road. What servo saver do you recommend as the ones in the kits look just like the ones that came with the 1/12 cars and they where rubbish.

Thanks 🙏 On my cat xls I run the Schumacher impact U4328 with pukka parts ballraced pivots. On the Cougar I run a solid alloy core one with a decent metal gear servo. For learning I’d probably run the impact saver just until you get used to it.

Nice cougar! Do you have a part number for your rear hubs? And the front hubs and carriers your using.

Guy did I hear correctly 😮 you said cougar 2 rear bulkheads go for 50 pounds 🤪 no way lol im in the process of restoring my Team cougar 2. I thought those parts were easy to get hold of? Lucky I have been collecting parts for many many years lol

I noticed you have alloy pivot blocks on the back end………any idea who stocks these, are they cougar specific or are they from another car……..can’t find them listed anywhere. Cheers

@tunkstune9373 Жыл бұрын

They are Schumacher parts, known as 1/8 pivot blocks, they designed them into multiple cars they produced. I have asked for them to be re released 😊

Great looking car! Will the chassis strengthen plates be available to buy? They look very useful! Thanks and keep the content on this car coming!

Hi Nathan, possibly, I need to draw a cleaner version that covers the re release chassis holes for mounting.

I am also interested in your chassis strengthening plate. Great video by the way. I'm about to build my Cougar Classic for summer.

Great video, what Schumacher shocks are you using?

@tunkstune9373 Жыл бұрын

Thanks Mark, the shocks are the unbuilt big bores U7132 and U7131. You need to buy the springs separately 😊

Do you find anti roll bars helpful with this car? I was wondering if it could be good for grass and astro.

Yes sometimes on the rear if it’s grippy Astro

It was actually an 80/26 combo for Silverstone buggy clubs long straight but id drop back to 89/25 for a shorter one
