Top Cat Build

Post by Chadz » Thu Apr 09, 2020 2:48 pm

So 2days in and it’s starting to look like a car now - I’ve taken it slow though and removed all the moulding lines on the plastics.

What’s people’s thoughts on the front crashback system - seems way too soft - so much so that it’s bugged me enough to tighten it up and modify the car already & it’s not even running yet!

What’s people’s thoughts - thought I’d show you my efforts.

All mine have a similar arrangement, though I don't fit the ones in the original location.

Super cool!

Bushings on the rear diff??? :shock: :?:

Yup - that was how they came as standard - the only bearings that were supplied in the kit were for the front wheels oddly enough? :?

This has since been sold on ebay - demand seems high,...

Does anyone know how to get the pan shinny?

The Topcat chassis I had when I opened my NIB kit had been sanded on the underside. I thought it was quite weird. :?

Sanded smooth or sanded to look brushed? IIRC they're left with a brushed finish when they leave the factory.

Having no...

Top cat chassis

by mogul » Fri Aug 19, 2011 1:44 am » in Schumacher Forum

First post

I have a quick question I was hoping someone could help with.

Do the Topcat and the original Cougar share the same chassis?
Apart from the front end damper design, what other changes were made to the cougar?

Regards

Last post

Thank you for the comments everyone. It was very helpful.
These cars dont seem to come up for sale so often, so I was just looking into the possibility of restoration using Cougar parts.

Thanks, what about these spur gears, the one on there is 96 tooth, is there something available today that fits with this o-ring set up spur gear.

Despite my best efforts with this car its the 'ratio' of those pivot rockers thats the real problem. Even with the heaviest of coils and dampening the front end still feels too light at times. Not like the upright set up at all.

I think the...
