running my Cougar 2
running my Cougar 2
Hey guys
I finished off my Cougar 2 rebuild at the weekend, with the geared gearbox in place (Thanks Mr. Serious )
I tested it out on carpet, stuck an old 12 double brushed motor in it !
diff was slipping, so I tightened that up a little.
but the problem is I don't have a slipper layshaft I can fit to this gearbox without some handy modifying...
So, for now although the car runs great, and has a nice turn of speed, I CANNOT keep the front wheels on the track.
I even threw about 30grams of lead on the front, and it still pops up under the lightest of throttle
any thoughts, or ideas, listened to

Hi Stu.
Good to hear mate. Don't you like the belt transmission? I run my cars on loose dirt and don't have high bight issues.

Does the speedo have a torque adjustment?

Re: running my Cougar 2
Must admit - I never really found a big difference when we went to LiPo batteries - just more consistant punch throughout a run.Lonestar wrote:let me guess... lipos, right?
A freshly built 12t Double is always going to be a bit 'much' for any 2wd without a slipper!

Re: running my Cougar 2
The nominal run voltage for a LiPo pack is about a volt higher than for a 6 cell NiCd or NiMh pack. Roughly equivelent to an extra cell. The 7.4v rating on a LiPo pack is its discharged voltage. -J

li-po shorty pack
I did just pick up another brushless speedo, so I think I'll stick a 17.5 or 13.5 in there.
It sure was fun with the 12 double though.
The gears are new, all my belt stuff is used, so I knew this would work well.

Re: running my Cougar 2
I have a couple of these geared transmissions plus new internals. Can't say that I love them but I did find a use for it in my Storm truck out in the sand on the beach.
