Cougar 2 Works differences?
Cougar 2 Works differences?
I recently got myself a boxed Cougar 2 Works U452. I was wondering if anyone had noticed any differences between the U452 and U453 versions of the buggy? Or are these completely identical and just a part number change.
Thanks
Paul.

On your box U452 , the rollerdriveshafts are included.

How odd! I thought the 'Works' kit was always sold as the 'full fat' version - with roller shafts & ball raced steering!jeroen206 wrote:CAT3K wrote:I recently got myself a boxed Cougar 2 Works U452.

That's what i was thinking. I always assumed the works cougar was the best, but it seems not all were created equal.DerbyDan wrote:How odd! I thought the 'Works' kit was always sold as the 'full fat' version - with roller shafts & ball raced steering!

The two boxes are from built up cars, one's a works the other is a team. I bought them a few weeks ago and havn't had a chance to do much with them.
That's my spare room storage area, far too much here to actually work on cars, i save that for the dining room table I'll post up some more pictures of the cougars when i get a chance

Re: Cougar 2 Works differences?
Great!.... I recognise that Works from the Tamiyaclub site, if I remember correctly its pretty much new built, with a minty chassis?
Looks like we have similar history/tastes in R/C racers, most of mine have been two wheel drives, i've also owned/own a Cobra, Meteor, Cougars 1 & 2 & Fireblades also (USA then EVO)
P.S; do you still have the Mardave Meteor, i'm having a bit of a 'thing' for them at the moment, i've just scored some spares & LWB chassis for one off ebay - but haven't got a car to fit them too!

No... I brought some saddle pack trays/straps from the guy that owned it - they actually came out of CAT3K's car & now reside in my 'Works'..... he then later had it advertised for sale.CATS wrote:sure your not thinking of my cougar from tamiyaclub dan (check my avatar and reany on tamiyaclub) if you are then this is not it, its still firmly in my possesion and not going anywhere (ha ha)

Scott your car is one of my all time favourites & quite distinctive with the 'advert' shell.... incidentally I was chatting to the guy that raced the 'original' (when he was a Schumacher employee) the other day

Re: Cougar 2 Works differences?
Yes, that's the one!
I've actually swapped the shells around, as i prefer the pink one on the works until i get myself a new one from Kamtec and spray it up.
The Meteor i've only had a week, i got it from a local house clearance auction for a fiver it's nice and original just waiting for a restoration, when i've cleared other projects that is... maybe. I always prefer Schumies though...

Re: Cougar 2 Works differences?
My US Works Cougar came with no roller shafts. I guess Stormer Hobbies back in the day didn't want to tell me that when I ordered..............
35 years of RC and still broke!
Re: Cougar 2 Works differences?
Thats interesting. So my works that does not have rollers but has BB steering is anatomically correct?
