Re: Mid motored Cougar 2(ish)

You did a great job with that car ! I just love this kind of work - very nicely thought out :) You are too kind. And, to be honest, surprisingly little thought went into the bulid. The design was more driven by pure randomness of the leftover parts I had available :roll: . I just had to be a little...

Re: Mid motored Cougar 2(ish)

For the improbable scenario that someone would like to build something similar (get help :wink: ) I composed ad parts list. It does not include easy to find hardware like screws, nuts etc., but all the major parts should be listed. For Schumacher Cougar 1 x aluminum tub chassis (preferably already r...

Re: Mid motored Cougar 2(ish)

Any news of this great project ? I'd love to see pics... you've likely hotlinked them from another forum, which doesn't allow hotlinking - it just says "image" instead of showing a pic :( Edit: I can see they're on dropbox from the URL... I just can't see the pix themselves! Thank you eug...

Re: Mid motored Cougar 2(ish)

I made some progress! Before I lose steam (again) I'd thought it would be cool to share it with you guys. I really love building custom parts, but boy it takes a lot of time to get them right. It seems no matter how many times I measure, the cuts keep going wrong.. :roll: To take a step forward, som...

Re: Mid motored Cougar 2(ish)

Bit of a thread bump, did you ever use/race the car, looks great btw! Thanks for the interest Headling. Life has been quite busy and the project has been on hiatus. Since my latest post almost a year (!) ago I've made some prototype motor plates out of plywood, ensured everything fits - and then th...

Re: Mid motored Cougar 2(ish)

If you use a belt and pulleys instead of the spur and pinion you can inverse the motor rotation without changing the motorplate and extra gear. Hmm.. Correct if I'm wrong, but that would warrant an RC innovation "direct drive motor", where the pulley is on the motor axle? Nothing wrong in...

Also thank you Typpo, bully and Retro rc for your positive reception for this abomination. Because my day-to-day ...

Mid motored Cougar 2(ish)

I have rescued a few Cougars from the bin myself. Currently I have one runner, two restoration projects with 99% of the parts but no time nor drive to complete them (Cougar mk1 and C2 Works) ... ... and a pile of parts. This pile, and especially a Cougar 2 chassis that some previous owner had ruine....

Re: my old Cougar 2 works.

The adapter at the far left will be made in nylon and tested before i make any changes. It will make running standard wheels alot easier for me. I've been using Traxxas wheel axles with hex mounts in my C2, but now the problem has shifted to find wheels with correct offset. The standard C2 wheels a...

Re: MMV Challenger: Carpet Kitty

Looks great! What rear arms are you using? Those seem not to be the normal TopCat/Cougar ones..

Re: My Shumacher Virginity Has Been Deflowered

Hey, at least you would know which one was yours in a race! :lol: Altough you probably have problems in determining the direction the car is heading because of the paint pattern. :) The pattern makes me think the "camouflage" used in WW I ships that tried to confuse the spotters in other ...

Re: Topcat project.

While browsing tamyaclub, I encountered this: http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=51714&id=3346 It is hard to say anything sure about the rear toe-in, but the rear wheels seem to point straight enough :) The rear end seems to be somewhat fragile and unstable. Perhaps an top deck is ...

Re: Topcat project.

Hi 8rad,

I think I'd like to try something similar you are doing with your Topcat, but with my basher Cougar. How did it went with the Procat rear arms?
