Welcome to the forum Looks like you've got 2 good projects there. It's hard to tell if your Topcat started out life as a Topcat or Cougar as it has the Cougar front end.

Re: Hi all new to the forum
If there´s scuffs/marks from the inboard shock mounts (laydown) in the chassis, it could be another sign of upgraded Topcat ?

Re: Hi all new to the forum
Hi & welcome to the board - looks like you've got a nice pair of Schumachers there to re-build/play with. If you get stuck & need some advice along the way, there will be members here that can help you.
I'm guessing if your Cougar has a TopCat shell & wing then its most likely it started out in life as a TopCat.... so many got converted as the unique lay-down TopCat front end was not 'ideal'
I see both cars have Speedmaster Silverstar speed controllers - these were so popular amongst UK racers in the late 80s beginning of 90s.

Re: Hi all new to the forum
Are we talking about the O-rings/ rubberbands at the crashback front setup?
I guess schumacher´s UK webshop still has them.

Re: Hi all new to the forum
I think they are out of stock at Schumacher.
I just use cheap o-rings off eBay. I think the crashback ones are 20x3mm
