I picked this up off of craigslist for a pretty good price. Overall its in ok condition, but the top shaft of the transmission is really jacked up. I dont expect to turn this into a shelf queen, but I would like to make it into a runner.

I think your motorplate needs looking at, the motor screw slots should be horizontal not vertical

I have the same gearbox and the slots are vertical, what's up with that?

I'm sort of new to vintage Schumachers so I have no idea. As soon as Richieflax mentioned it I tried to find some pics of other motorplates but couldnt find any.

The vertical slots are correct! It has to do with the clearance of the motor. The gearbox is elongated compared to stock cougar 2 so there is not enough horizontal play for the motor to use different pinions. Mine is the same way.

I have one of those as well. Neat cars!

You got alloy rollers too. You lucky dog. I have one set but I am so afraid of shearing off the plastic ends that I have not even put them on. I run the plastics because they are a dime a dozen. One of the best looking buggies of all time IMO.

Awesome find, wish I could be so lucky.

Nice car in pretty decent condition, don't see many Works models

I'll probably start tearing it down this weekend. I'm already gathering part numbers. I'm hoping that with the help of ebay and the nice folks here on rc10talk, I can get her running soon.

Very nice find...I look forward to pictures her cleaned up

Are those alloy eccentrics I see? I cant tell if they are alloy or white plastic.

Sorry about the duff info

I have never seen a works cougar up close, thats my excuse and I am sticking to it!

Cougar 2 WORKS are tha bomb!

The Cougar2 is my all time favourite 2WD but the works has all the good stuff!

Seriously hard to find a genuine original in good condition now days.

They pop up occasionally on Ebay.co.uk but often sellers dont post outside of UK.
