Schumacher Cougar SF

[Oliv996]

Here is my project i started a few months ago,its based on the idea of combining a Cougar KF/KR front end and a Cat SX rear end.

After seeing the new Yokomo YZ-2 released,with the all flat style transmission, i was reminded of the rear transmission of a Cat SX. My old Cats SX was still sleeping in its box,so after dusting it off i looked at it and imagined how i could combine the two car elements together.

I started by taking measurements of both cars and began the design process in Solidworks. I've taken advantage of using some parts directly from the YZ-2

1. Z2-118P: Yokomo graphite battery plate
2. Z2-118FS: Yokomo battery foam set
3. Z2-118S: Yokomo battery spacer
4. Z2-118PN: Yokomo battery post and nut set
5. Z2-101: Yokomo yZ2 body

My inspiration is taken from the design of the YZ-2,and its weight distribution which allows for either shorty or saddle lipo's. By using the complete front end of a Cougar KF/KR and the complete rear end of a Cat SX i have been able to keep the conversion parts needed to a minimum, these are as follows:

1. Carbon Chassis
2. Side guards
3. Motor waterfall
4. Front Top deck connecting plate

These are the specific parts needed for this conversion.

Below are the pictures of the first assembly where only motor waterfall part is missing on the chassis

Top work looks like a proper factory car

I will post more pics once the complete car is ready

what a nice job you have done...
true engineering

I confess, I'm a engineer, nobody's perfect

Looks totally amazing, I've often thought about making a KM (a KF with a SV2 rear end). Please let us know how it drives once it's up and running.

Really like the look of this project, one question though, why are you no using the Schuy Shocks ?

[Oliv996]

Thanks

I did not mount Schuy shocks because the only I got are coming from SX1 (so not bigbore and were crappy). I'm addicted to Kyosho BB model and I've setup for them always in mind. Thus, instead of buying Schuy ones I prefer to mount K ones.

Electronic install done. I can't wait to test:

I'm currently making an all schumacher version of your sx based car, similar to the km i made.

[Treedudeben]

Please could you tell me which part you used to connect the carbon top deck to the front bulkhead?

Many thanks Ben.
