If you're willing to spend a little, you can ship it to an experienced painter. Plenty of good painters on the forum, myself NOT included!

I’m retired so I’m on a fixed income so I’m just going to have to try to make it as not ugly as I can possibly get.THEYTOOKMYTHUMB wrote: ↑Wed Nov 13, 2024 3:22 pm If you're willing to spend a little, you can ship it to an experienced painter.

Re: Cougar Classic Motor and ESC rec’s
I’m in the same boat as Brendan, but I’m looking to run modern electronics but by the traditional companies.
I know early Schumacher teams ran LRP, but what were they running for a motor?… Reedy?

Chuck Norris built my small block. It makes 10,000 horsepower and runs on the tears of little children. He calls it his street version.

For now I have a HW 1060 and an Apex 17T motor. All brushed for now.phaze1todd wrote: ↑Tue Nov 26, 2024 11:05 am I’m in the same boat as Brendan, but I’m looking to run modern electronics but by the traditional companies.

Re: Cougar Classic Motor and ESC rec’s
Well if you’re a Wrestling Fan like I am you will understand this. Since I suck at painting and taping etc I decided to make my Cougar body look like Kanes mask.1911Colt wrote: ↑Wed Nov 13, 2024 8:31 amAs far as you having the worst painted Cougar, hold my beer!Brendan2904 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 12, 2024 11:59 pm I got to the sticker sheet and it was not what I was expecting.![]()

Re: Cougar Classic Motor and ESC rec’s
Nice! You have a paint job that means something and ties back to another hobby/interest.
I am guided by Dirty Harry's comment "a man has got to know his limitations" when choosing my paint schemes.
Of the 10 cars I painted myself, 7 are monochrome.
I really hope you enjoy running your Cougar. I jumped from Schumacher to Losi when I raced, so I never had a Cougar until the re-re. To me it is as good as anything else from the period. Also, Schumacher re-releases are very true to the originals. I like that.
