Mmm this thing is going to be good, I think I'll hold out buying a 2WD until this is released

Does anybody know which day(s) of the Toy Fair that the big names actually unveil all their newest products such as the Cougar (if they do) and the DNX408 e.t.c.. I happen to be in Germany a day before the fair starts so might be worth trying to get along for photos!

Maybe a bizarre question but I'm going to ask it anyhow.

What does the "SV" in Cougar SV stand for ?

@Ry @ JE Spares:be aware that the toy fair is not open public.You need an invitation as dealer (I suppose you are) or you have to prove that you are press.

Seriously are big bores needed on a 2WD car and depends what they define as big bores?

Team Losi and Associated shocks are bigger than the current Schumacher shocks so does that mean they are big bore shocks?

I could be totally wrong here..... but my guess is the Cat SX was the tenth (or so) generation of the "Cat" hence the roman numeral "X" for 10 and this will be the fifth generation of Cougar, hence "V" for 5.......

That's what I thought but the S made me doubt it hence my question.

Thanks for confirming and clarifying.

I think most manufacturers make up some letters that sound cool (usually containing a number or the letter X) and then sometimes try to make up a reason for it.

Someone mentioned £200 as a selling price.
Is that a valid presumption? Or very unlickely?

I'd agree, "S" is normally a roman letter for 1/2.

So that'd be Cat 5 and Cougar 2.5
