So I was lucky enough to find a couple nip u820p ball raced steering sets a while back and this buggy never had a set so on they go. Front end mounted up ignore the blue nuts they’ll be changed to purple later

Here’s a pics of something a few out there might not know,Schumacher did a running change on the cougar 2 front arms. They added more material to the front on the inner hinge pin side of the arm. I’ve circled it in the pic below. You can see the earlier right arm top of pic and the reinforced later ...

I’ve decided to go with a pro transmission for this buggy seeing as it’s a runner rather than use the original. Even though I’ve done a full rebuild on the diff and slipper, but thought ease of parts was worth it. DF66A912-9C83-4E54-BDF0-0B08FF91BE56.jpeg Diff and layshaft 50EBC1AF-65D4-41E5-98F3-86...

Another beautiful build. Where do you source all these rare parts? Just Ebay? Some super-secret store? And what do you use for a backdrop? Your photos are always so clean. Thanks, always inspired. I reckon he has a time machine and he travels but in time when ever he’s doing a build….. it can be th...

Rear end going on the chassis. I am using a set of used works rear arms off my original cougar rather that one of my nip sets and the rear bulk head was in mint condition so using that too.

My wife tells me I a stupid old bugger that’s missing out on a heap of stuff….. but really how many cat videos can you watch in a day

Here’s a few of mine

Your welcome marty it wasn’t a Facebook group lol I’m not on Facebook, glad you got them and can’t believe how quick you cleaned them up

Looking awesome

I’d stay with the black case, personally think the Ali spacers would be lost against a white case

The tires in the picture are Hotshot pin spikes and you can still get them new , if not then for the shelf you can pack them with foam inside to restore the shape . Nah Dadio they’re dynamite racing (see the second to last pic). there are a few sets pop up from time to time on evil bay, although wh...
