Schumacher Cougar SV photos and info

[jimmy]

Schumacher said they wanted to keep the Cougar SV for the upcoming Nuremberg Toyfair - but someone got impatient and released a couple of teaser shots to whet the appitite!

The new mid-motor 2WD Cougar SV will come with the new PTFE coated 13mm 'big bore' dampers which have been tested on the CAT SX over recent months. The car can use stick or saddle-type lipo batteries. A 'reversed' motor position and multi-gear gearbox help put the power down.

We're also told the car features industry standard wheel fitment - though the front wheel fitment isn't clear yet.

The car also features what Schumacher are calling a 'constant radius steering system'.

The bodyshell looks like a throwback to the older cougars but features a built-in gear cover for the new mid-motor layout. A huge rear wing is nice change from the weedy CAT SX one and an undertray helps seal things up from the elements.

Car looks very inpressive and should be awesome - even better with an all orange body shell - what do you think Jonesy

Does anyone know any prices for this at all?
Ive heard that there will be 4 versions of the Cougar, but dont quote me on that (who am I, eh )

I reckon it'll be north of £250

I assume there will be the S1 and full Phil Booth style editions again.

according to the web site front and rear wheels are industry standard so ae rims should fit and vice versa

[jono83]

Don't think the front wheels will fit the B4 as Shumacher use metric ball bearings.

[tony12795]

Looks like you will have to buy CF links for the camber positions... Like the CAT SX

Am keeping my x6 till the hype calm's down, then take a look maybe...
