Cougar set up

[DB01RS]

What is a good motor/esc and gearing set up for a cougar sv. Running on outdoor AstroTurf using yellow mini spikes?

[markwilliamson2001]

An 8.5 or 7.5 brushless sensored setup is ideal in a 2wd buggy.
Speed passion, LRP, Tekin, Nosram, Novak are all good brands.
Hobbywing sensored is a very close match to the speed passion if your on a budget for a speedo.
Orion motors also popular.

I would estimate about 23 pinion 81 spur or approx.

Hope this helps

In my Cougar i use an lrp X12 8.5 with a 24 pinion and 80 spur. I find it gives nice smooth delivery and plenty of top end speed .

Im running the spur that come with it, 23 pinion, 10 degrees mechanical on an SPV3 7.5.

Small amount of timing on the esc though, wish id just bought a 6.5 and done away with the boost.

Which software are you running?

[bigred5765]

1 -1
2 -2
3 -1
4 -4
5 -3
6 -1
7 -2
8 -1
9 - 6
10 - 1

mattys runs most of the time
1=1
2=1
3=4
4=3 or 4
5=3
6=1
7=2
8=1
9=5 or 6
10=1
so very similar
turbo settings are of for most indoor tracks, unless large and high grip

my cougar has the 81t spur, a 22/23 pinion, 7.5T SP motor, vortex R10 Pro speedo(as from box), not added or changed any setting on the esc, its smooth, fast, easy drive and no turbo unsettling to worry about, had 2 others drive it as is and loved the easy drive and smoothness......

i am old school and not a fan of turbo etc......

YET!

But the grearing and motor T is about right either way, but many seem to have a higher turn(8.5 to 10.5) and add timing and turbo etc..... I prefer lower T and pure grunt...........

just my 2p..............................
