I'm not a big schumacher fan but that looks really cool

Me when Thunder Tiger released a dozen RC10 variants
Me today when Schumacher announced the C2

Retro RC "Adrian panting audibly......, Reaching for his cvc number on his credit card......

lol already had mine ordered to go with the other 6 originals

Nice! That violet chassis looks absolutely awesome.

The C2W transmission uses the same belt as the standard transmission, which means we have an easy upgrade path to add a slipper clutch to the early cars.

Resourceful, energetic folks always had a solution by piecing together bits from current cars and printing a pulley to add a slipper. But now lazy folks like me can just order U8703. The top pulley is the weakest link in the TC and Cougar re-res, so the 1 piece alloy layshaft solves that issue as well.

Some nice parts emerging on the horizon. Looking forward to roller driveshafts, pro shock bodies, slipper pulley, F&R roll bars etc

I'm wondering if one of these 2wd aluminum pan buggies could have a Schumacher 4wd setup transplanted into it. The biggest part of that question is how different are the rear gearbox mount setups? I know there would need to be a belt pass through hole.

If anyone could do it, it would be you. I will donate the standard trans from my Masami kit if you want to give it a go...

It might end up just being a Cougar chassis pan under a 4wd buggy.

Here are the plans I drew up for a 4WD Top Cat with the Losi 5 link rear if you want to use them:

Don't let Schumacher get ahold of these plans! It could be disastrous for them!

The mounting positions are way different or you could mid mount the cougar box and mod it to 4wd but why bother. you’d just buy a xls or procat where the hard stuff has already been worked out on a platform that was made for 4wd
