PB Maxima Shells or Alternative

Is anyone doing reproductions of these? Or perhaps there is a decent looking (and fitting!) alternative. Any advice appreciated.

Re: New Schumacher Cougar 2wd buggy!!!!

I think the cougar will be just fine on clay, its not really been tested on actual clay, but has been on similar surfaces eg the cork/rubberised flooring here http://www.oople.com/rc/photos/worksopplayersrematch/ , which has some of the characteristics of a clay track.

Re: New Schumacher Cougar 2wd buggy!!!!

I too am not a big fan of the SX body shell till today but the car is very nice. Those alloy mounts are a must in my opinion...seems to tighten up the feel of the diffs. You are right, so many choices now...throw in Durango's new 1/8th buggy man oh man! You have seen the new 2wd 1/10th Durango have...
