Hi all

This just arrived from ebay which i thought was a cougar but has a different gearbox and cheap looking shocks, could this be a Club10?







Thanks

Yes , you got a cougar club 10/2 , with the gearbox.

Thanks Jeroen, are these gearboxes reliable I have never come across one before?

If you use the U2335 alloy diffwasher carrriers (look here) http://www.racing-cars.com/images/Technical_info/Schumacher/Old%20Cars/Big%206%20EP/Exploded%20Diagram/lotus_exploded.pdf

Than you got a bulletproof transmission . http://forum.racing-cars.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9488&PN=8

Ill run it with a 4.5T Novak at the moment , with no problems.

Years ago I got 4x nib Club10 kits, 3 trucks and a buggy. The plastic shocks were terrible but they used the same geardrive transmission you have there.
I built and kept one of the trucks, ran a 12 turn motor and matched 3300 cells back then. I opted to run much bigger 2.2" truck tyres and used to drive it flat out at the beach all the time. The stock standard transmission never let me down.
Touch wood.

Wow, thank you all for your help

I plan on putting some rc10 shocks on it instead of the awful plastic ones and using it to teach my daughter to drive
with it, oh and replace the plastic bearings too!?!?
