Carbon Cougar chassis

[Headling]

Just been looking at the RC10 graphite cars

Has anyone done a similar style of flat carbon chassis on the Cougar 1/2??

I have a 3rd car on the way and thinking about ideas!

There is only the Composite Craft one for the Topcat that I know of.

Alternatively there was a carbon fiber tub made for it but they are uber rare. Been looking for years with no luck.

Out of curiosity Jeroen, did you have to drill new holes for the Cougar 2 works, or were there different versions of the carbon tub?

Either way, as everyone has said these are the holy grail.

No they are not. Many have tried and failed to get some made. They threw out the mold years ago.

I tried years ago but they wanted $1400.

A member here CATS tried to get some made a while back too but he said they were rubbish so it never went anywhere.

Also a guy on OOPLE tried without success.

I have a CAD drawing of the chassis if anyone is interested in pursuing it. I would be in for 2 at least.

The chassis were for the Topcat and cougar1+2 , so i had to drill some new holes in the chassis , to fit the C2W transmission.
