That body shell makes any car which it fits, look really good.
I so regret I cut his one up a bit too much:

Thanks for clearing that up Mick. All seems to make sense now.
Anyone need an XPC chassis? :lol:

Couldn't agree more Mr ED, one of the sexiest buggy bodies ever.

Maybe it was the Storm2000 chassis that had the 7 cell slots? It's been a while.

So what was it that made the XPC 'special'?

Does your 95T have a longer wheelbase than your 2000?

It is marginally lighter, but I didn't have the lexan cups for the receiver and esc to make an accurate comparison.

If it is for a runner I'd replace it with the new durango body. While the styling is not so sleek the overall shape should fit the cougar model on the top picture quite well and ithas some kind of bulge around the steering area too; just like the shum body.
Apparently bugle is making undertrays for the durango already too.

Or Kamtec's Astute body and undercowl for something more vintage appropriate perhaps?
that steering bulge could get difficult though

Mr Ed its so close to being a proper Cougar 2000 i couldn't in my right mind put any but the Cougar 2000 body on it, but thanks for the info as i have a runner........

Paul send me a pic mate please.....

8rad i've been watching this body for 12 months at least, cat3k as well as myself had commented on it b4 but weren't prepared to spend £28+ postage on something were unsure which body it is???? But thanks for the link mate....

P.s 8rad love the Topcat protobuild!!!!

After examining it a bit the body is not C2K. The side pods are not the right shape. Looks more like the 95T body.

p.s. Thanks.

I have the bodyset in question along with the undertray. I will have to check but I think it might be made by TMS for post 2000 Cougar

I always thought it was a Racecraft shell but i might be wrong. Racecraft numbered their shells Bxxx and undertrays Uxxx. Only reason i think racecraft is because it says in the auction B112.
