After looking at the cougar sv2, I have decided it will be my new car. On the pictures though, I can't work out how you put your cells in - the top deck seems to be screwed down all over. Could someone tell me how you put them in please?

Undo 4 screws and at the front is a body clip pull that out then the purple pin from the front then the whole top deck lifts.

I have just purchased 2 SV2's and they look awesome can not wait to get them running.

Wouldn't taking all those screws out be really time consuming? If you were in a rush for your heat, you'd have no chance!

Just use body pins instead of the screws

Yes its time consuming but using the 4 screws or changing to 4 pins or even removing the posts completley changes the flex on the chassis.

Hope this info helps.

Try looking at the durango 210 then because cells are quick to change it that along with the x2c

I own the SV2 and share the sentiment that it is a little bit of a pain to change the cells. However, not sure I agree with the idea about having to change out your cells in quick time simply because if you are using lipos, and give them a top up in between heats (and charge them in the buggy), why would you need to be rushing to put them in etc?

I run the sv2 and cells ain't an issue to remove. I removed the screws and use body clips job done

Not at a normal run of the mill club it wouldn't. At National Level etc All charging may be required in a lipo bag but at most clubs this is not the case.
