Hi Guys, Im going to start my re-build soon, just starting to think about paint for it.

What famous drivers raced the Cougar 1/2??

Any pictures would be great

I need some inspiration for paint jobs....

Crikey, that'll give him an ENORMOUS head.....

At least, he won't be able to wear his undies on his head for a while.....

Thanks for the link Jirka, I'll have a read up.

I seem to remember Kevin Moore driving Cougars, to maybe the famous red/white triangle paint job?

L-O-L-!!!!

Unfortunately I never did get to race a Cougar of any kind back
In the day. I've driven and raced a handful of different incarnations over recent years though but I'm definitely not famous (thanks anyway Paul )
They are a very good racer though and mine have always been very reliable and fast enough.

Keep eyes on also for something different, Kevin used that Carlos Gonzales triangle style painting later during his Losi & TTech days. The first Kevin car that I have seen was gold and later he used white-red-blue painting.

Here's a pic of the review Cougar.



There were probably more famous drives worldwide, but in the UK i remember Phil Davies and Kev Moore.

I can't find any really good photos of their cars at the moment, but i do have these :





If i find better ones i'll post them for you.

Paul.

Thanks, I'll see what pictures I can find

Want to try and find a cool scheme for my new Kamtec shell

Thanks Cat3k, superb link/photo there

Im loving the vintage stuff, really taking me back to my youth!

thanks guys!

How about Jurgen Lautenbach.... of LRP fame? His shells of this era were white with a pink/red 'star' across the middle of the shell, there must be a pic somewhere in a race report in the scans section?

I was going to say Jurgen....I believe he was a co designer for the car and placed it quite high in some big races. Which races I cant remember....

Carlos Gonzales....a blast from the past! I used to race with him in the northwest (WA state). I wonder what he is doing now?

Cool I will try and search for the Jurgen paint job, if anyone can find it quicker please post one up.

Got a few shells to post of to Custom blitz including my Predator X11 shell
