COUGAR SV2

[Benjy1]

Firstly is anyone in the know to if there will be a convertion kit and if so how much will it be?

If not can anyone list all the changes and parts that would have to be bought new to change a cougar SV into a cougar SV2?

If you go on to the Schumacher website and type in SV2 in the search box it'll come up with all the SV2 parts you would need. However at £229.99 for the kit you may as well buy a whole kit and sell you current car.

Is there a known delivery date for this beautiful car ?
Tom Cockerill told me during the EIR @ Charleroi Belgium February 5, another 3 weeks wait for delivery !

[mattybucks]

Yeah, I was told 2-3 weeks last week. We're taking pre-orders £229.99 for the Pro kit, and we'll be picking them up on the release day from Schumacher.

Hello All,

Does anyone think it will be possible just to mount the new chassis
en the new top deck to the old gearbox?
The front end looks the same to me.
My old tranny is fine so i figured this would be a short cut to get
the new chassis.

Greetings

Hans

as the new sv2 gear box has larger bearings i would say not, though the whole gearbox may

Indeed it did. My first R/C car and did a fine job when I was starting out.
