Never knew they made buggies. But I did have a Shumacher nitro stadium truck. It came with a .21 engine. And it was awesome. And 20 years ago. The chassy looked the same but painted a yellow-gold. See ya next time Glen.
Looking forward to your build video. I haven’t built my cougar yet and have never built a Schumacher car before so hopefully it will help when I eventually build mine. Can’t wait to see your finished shell with those neon colours 😎 and decals.
Looking forward to this build Glenn, ive seen mollys cars in the flesh and they really do pop. Im awaiting my two shells to come for my cougar classics, but i’ll be doing a few more 😎 but you know i do love my cougars haha.
Awesome to see some Schumacher 2wd cars Glenn! There was no greater innovator in the industry than Schumacher in my opinion, they really did push the technology available. I’m hoping they re-release the Cougar 2 team. Cheers!
I wonder how RC racing is done now. Back in the day I used to have my own dyno and wind and tune my own motors . We were allowed 6 or 7 cell packs , depending on the track rules for the Amain events . They usually ran 3:30 minutes to 3:50 minutes. I used to buy custom matched cells from sanyo and make my own packs . Some packs I used foam filled cells. In the A main there were weight limits but no restriction on the motors mainly because the hard part was making that 3:30 runtime minimum. My A main motor used to run usually between 25k to 30k rpm . No restriction on brushes . I usually ran advanced cut timing brushes , so I just didn't dig 2 ruts everytime I took off lol . Ball diffs , slipper clutch on a custom cut and modified losi chassis . I ran T Spike tires in reversed on the back in 2wd . My truck was always tuned to run 15 to 20 seconds longer than the race duration. Not much room for mistakes. At that level a mistake would usually lose a race back then tho. I used a Novak receiver and speed control . What would a newer setup run now for an A main contender ? Limits and rules etc.?
Another blast from the RC club past I used to attend on a Thursday night. These were absolute beasts in action and used to fly around, rinsing most of the competition....until folks got hold of the Boss Cat and Lazer ZX. I quite like the boxy body but I also remember most folks had the Alley Cat body shell as well - so kudos on that! The livery you're going for looks great, personally I'd love more pink and less white but either way, it's going to be brilliant.
I absolutely love Schumacher buggies, miss my topcat but when I 1st saw the cougar I've gotta say I preferred the stand up shocks instead of the topcat's lay downs👍. P.s just got say I can't stop looking round the new studio Glenn, it's epic👍👍
Yeah love it Glenn....old retro Schumacher neon colours. Did you ever do the build Glenn? I didn't see it on your channel. Was really looking forward to seeing the final result my friend
We regularly ran 13t, 12t and even 11t motors through Schumacher transmissions back in the day. They’re far more capable in standard form than they make out… obviously LiPo batteries have a lot more punch than the old NiMh cells ever did. Having said that - most guys ditched the ‘integrator’ and fitted aftermarket drum diffs which is basically what the pro- transmission kit is (with the addition of a slipper clutch).
Hi Glenn, glad you are happy with the Tomy motor, better for it to be in the hands of an ardent collector rather than it sit in a box in my garage for another 25 years 😂 So you have finally got hold of a Cougar Classic. You will love this build, though you may encounter a couple of niggles along the way. But it's worth it, it's a brilliant car to build and drive. Mine is fully decked out now with every hop-up available from Schumacher and I have moved the shorty battery mounts to the middle position to balance it better - it really flies and handles beautifully!! Looking forward to your build and running videos 👍
Nice one Glenn. Looking forward to seeing your finished. The Alley cat body is superb looking. Incidentally I’ve just order two bodys from Steve at penguin, Dandy Dash and a Losi JRX pro. Take care :)
I've just got the standard transmission in my cougar classic in fact its completely standard with a 12t brushed motor and 2s shortie lipo and it's an absolute blast to drive and I've had no issues with the gearbox🤷♂️ the upgrade transmission runs more belts (I think) 👍
Absolutely Sven but you’re making the assumption I have that option where I live! I don’t unfortunately, absolutely zero vintage racing that I know of. In fact the closest track is over 1 and a half hours drive from me 🤷🏼♂️ So I do the best I can with what I have 😅
Hey Sven, this point always catches me thinking. Vintage racing. But this is a brand new car. Sure, it’s based on an older car, but it’s brand new. How does that work in general?
Man when I was a kid and then a teenager girls didn't care about the fact that I had radio control cars none of the girls I knew were even barely interested but I enjoyed it immensely
Great video Glenn. Looking forward to the build and running videos. Are the Jc racing wheels 2.2”, I was wondering if those tyres will fit the larger wheels.
Looking like a great project,. love a bit of neon, looks like you're getting settled into the new studio, not sure if you've done something but the lighting was spot on.
Looking forward to the build of this one! I told you i was gonna get the cougar but i went for the storm st instead and what a kit it is! Very different from Tamiya and Kyosho as you ecspect.
Looking forward to seeing it! I am still waiting for my backorder to be filled so this has me excited to see what yours is going to look like as all the pint schemes I can think of are fairly bland. I have not done a neon one yet so I am intrigued to seeing the results of your build!
Been thinking about this kit 🤔 every time I pop into modelsport I nearly buy it, but end up buying upgrades for my current runners 😂 maybe a Xmas pressie 🤞
@RC Legends I notice you still use mainly your UK shops for your orders. Is that manly down to the lackluster Canadian infrastructure for many of these brands.

Nitro 🤩🤩🤩
Great video 1ce again Glenn 👏
Thank you 👍
Loved building my cougar 🤌
Thanks buddy 😊😊😊
That's going to look epic Glenn! Loving that motor too what a find! Beautiful thing!
I didn´t even know that Tomy made modified motors...Looks very cool with the purple endbell 🤙
Thanks James 😎👊🏻
That motor is a thing of beauty! (The cougar is pretty sweet too) 😉👍
Haha you’re not wrong Rob 🤩👊🏻

Thanks Jon 😎👊🏻
The cougar is a nice RC. I found the stock Servo saver rubbish when running, a solid arm makes it steers straight and more precise
Looking forward to this build Glenn, ive seen mollys cars in the flesh and they really do pop. Im awaiting my two shells to come for my cougar classics, but i’ll be doing a few more 😎 but you know i do love my cougars haha.
Oh wow that’s fantastic you’ve seen the actual car 😍
Cool, be interesting to see with the alternative body.
Thank you 😊

@@RCLegends2022 I ordered one, but it's a preorder. I have to wait and I can learn from your build.

Haha I’m the same lol 😂 it’s actually harder to build stuff now I catch myself just looking around 🤣
Looking forward to seeing it come together. Going to be awesome!
Thanks buddy 😊👊🏻

Nice one Glenn. Looking forward to seeing your finished. The Alley cat body is superb looking. Incidentally I’ve just order two bodys from Steve at penguin, Dandy Dash and a Losi JRX pro. Take care :)
I’ve wanted a Schumacher since I was a kid. Not because they’re epic buggies, but because my last name is Shumaker.. 😁
Haha that’s awesome 😎
Looking forward to see it built and ran. It's going to look super cool running around 👍

Oh that’s good to hear 😎👊🏻
You should do some vintage racing instead of driving on a parking lot ... These cars Were Made for that
Absolutely Sven but you’re making the assumption I have that option where I live! I don’t unfortunately, absolutely zero vintage racing that I know of. In fact the closest track is over 1 and a half hours drive from me 🤷🏼♂️
So I do the best I can with what I have 😅
Hey Sven, this point always catches me thinking.
Vintage racing. But this is a brand new car.
Sure, it’s based on an older car, but it’s brand new.
How does that work in general?
@@stuartleckie those 1:1 rere are totally legal in vintage racing. Even the updated kyosho legendary cars are allowed 👍
As Glen said vintage racing is nearly unheard here in Southern Ontario.
Man when I was a kid and then a teenager girls didn't care about the fact that I had radio control cars none of the girls I knew were even barely interested but I enjoyed it immensely

Excellent thanks for the feedback Tony 😊👊🏻
Love it.
Thanks Glenn.

Looking forward to the build of this one! I told you i was gonna get the cougar but i went for the storm st instead and what a kit it is!
Very different from Tamiya and Kyosho as you ecspect.
Schumacher Cougar 2 Body is much nicer and brings the car justice and also the flat disc wheels are much cooler then those from the classic cougar
Yeah I totally agree 😎👊🏻
Looking forward to seeing it! I am still waiting for my backorder to be filled so this has me excited to see what yours is going to look like as all the pint schemes I can think of are fairly bland. I have not done a neon one yet so I am intrigued to seeing the results of your build!
Oh you have to have one neon car in your collection my friend 🤩🤩🤩
Really want one of those but then I really want a TD2 as well, damn you're making my decision hard mate lol
Haha sorry 🤣🤣👊🏻
Been thinking about this kit 🤔 every time I pop into modelsport I nearly buy it, but end up buying upgrades for my current runners 😂 maybe a Xmas pressie 🤞
Haha upgrades are always my downfall to 🤣👊🏻
Glenn the pro transmission is much more substantial than the standard kit. Has an updated ball diff, stronger belts and a slipper clutch
Glenn, where do you get the brushes for your vintage motors? I need a set for a trinity Joel magic Johnson trinity motor
Hey I was lucky I had a new pair I bought years ago. I’m actually not sure who sells them 🧐🤷🏼♂️
Awesome kit, I'm really looking forward to your review! Off topic question: what is the car right next to the shogun on your display 😅
Have to agree - the cougar 2 style bodies are much better looking… much lower, longer and sleeker
Yeah totally agree 😎👊🏻
Mines number 33,gotta build it but need to finish the durga 1st
Durga 🤩🤩🤩
I am excited to see this build. Will the video be up shortly? been patiently waiting
@RC Legends I notice you still use mainly your UK shops for your orders. Is that manly down to the lackluster Canadian infrastructure for many of these brands.
Another great video 🎉 have you got a link for Otley model shop

Hi Glenn. Did you ever get round to building this, or did I miss the vid?
Molly now thinks she’s famous 😂
That’s awesome I hope the car did the business on the track 🤩👊🏻
Link to the wheels? Thanks
