Nice build, think it was a good decision to go buggy rather than truck.

Before making the decision, I looked at a bunch of truck and buggy pics. While the trucks looked ok, there was something about the buggies that made that option more attractive to me. But, I think the final decision was based on the amount of space I needed to store a car vs. a truck.

I won an original Storm (not the 2000) off of ebay. It looks to be mostly complete from the pictures. It was an auction that I just threw a bid on and didn't expect to win it at all. But since I won it I'm interested in converting it to a cougar...

Option is still there to combine the two and sell the Storm with solid layshaft rather than slipper... not like you could sell it for less than you got it for! :lol:

I have always wanted to build a Topcat on steroids . So with mid-motor all the rage these days and my local track switching from dirt to carpet the time seems right for a Topcat mid . I have been thinking about this for a while and collecting...

One thing that came to my mind is a reversed tranny means that the motor will have to spin in reverse. Shouldn't be a problem with brushless especially with the better brushless set up's that can be programed to run in reverse.

inspired by so many great threads here and the fact that I want to build something Schumacher to run against all these RC-10 re-releases I'm sure will be coming out to play, I've started to gather parts for my own Cougar build.

It sounds like you've got the wrong length insert peice for the spacing of the bearings? With the bearings in position & the insert/shaft pressed fully 'home' the castleated end should be flush with the outerface of the bearing.
