Cougar 2000 carbon fibre tub chassis

hey bormac you wouldn't have any 3 spoke rims would you ?

[Bormac]

I never liked the 3 spoke rims so I sold those off years ago. Sorry.

[minichamps11]

Cheers for the photos J. See Schumacher used the same box for both the electric & Nitro versions. Unusual move, obviously didn't expect to sell many...

Schumacher, I may have one set of 3-spoke Storm 2000 wheels going spare (rears I think). If not, your best bet is to PM Incredible_Serious as he sold them to me.

[minichamps11]

Now with new rims - what do you prefer, white disc wheels or black spoked?

[jeroen206]

I would go for the three-spoke wheels.
The extra holes in the chassis are for the servo-mounts.

[Mr. ED]

If you're not going to paint the shell I'd say stay with the black rims, otherwise it really depends on what colourscheme you use

[minichamps11]

Well, I'd like to paint the shell, but I'm rubbish at spraying. I calculated the other day how much it would cost me to get all my clear shells professionally painted at £25 each...and had a minor heart attack..........so it stays clear.

My local model shop has some retro Schumacher 3 spokes NIP on the shelf! I think they are for the CAT2000 though. They are for buttons too!

If anyone wants them, let me know.

Does anyone have the manual for the storm 2000 - or any pics of a built up truck?

Thanks,
Andy.

Fakiee,

Some Storm 2000 photos on my tamiyaclub page here. I have a manual somewhere also, but it's only a 2 sheet of paper addendum to the Cougar 2000 manual....

Cheers Ian, nice looking truck. Just got one but it needs lots of parts, doubt I will be able to restore it cause the gearbox is missing Did they use a hydra drive setup? Would like to see the cougar 2000 manual and the storm pages

I think the tri-spokes are rare as is the whole car (contrary to some comments in TC)

Thanks,
Andy

Look here Andy

Maybe Jason has some parts left.

[minichamps11]

The gearbox is straight from a Cougar 2000 if I remember correctly. If you've got all the Storm 2000 unique bits, you'll be able to pick up a battered C2K to finish it off for little money as they're not very popular.....

Cheers Jeroen I sent Jason a PM to see if he has anything.

Thanks Ian, might have to go down this route as it could work out cheaper in the long run - not looking for a replica, just a built up truck. I can use Fibre lyte for parts as they seem to cater for lots of the 2k & 95t stuff.

I am looking for the rear wheels for my Nitro Storm 2000. The Smooth dish ones.

Anyone have a set? I have some NIP fronts to trade.

I also have the manual if anyone needs scans.

Cheers
