    The original Schumacher COUGAR was the first of a long line of successful COUGAR 2WD buggies which are still winning races today.
    In this video we talk to Cecil Schumacher and Jurgen Lautenbach from LRP about the car and its history.
    The COUGAR Classic is an authentic re-release using much of the original tooling, but with a few subtle improvements such as fittings for modern lipo batteries.

    Fantastic release and congratulations. My order is in and it will be on the show quick sharp :) It's fascinating listening to Cecil talk about the design ideas back in the day.

    I'm a massive Kyosho Ultima fan but it's great to see more old school RC. Very pleased to see this happening.

      same here, I had an Ultima Pro and was about to switch to this one or the RC10 Graphite......I stuck to the Ultima, I knew it, I loved it.

    My order is going in! I've wanted this buggy since 1990......you've made my year! I just crave a Top Cat but sadly will probably never be now 😥

    Exciting times for sure 😍. Having been a loyal Schumacher enthusiast/racer and racing Topcats and Cougars, this car is a very welcome release.

    Amazing interview with Cecil and Jurgen. I miss the good old days, but with these wonderful re-re's from many manufacturers I can relive my heydays.... Thanks you Schumacher! Keep the re-releases coming please.

    Great video, brilliant to see Cecil reminisce about the car and older racing days and just I really love that you are re-releasing these classic cars!

    I raced a second hand one of these cars in a far off country. It was my first proper race car. The owner before me had installed the long front shocks Cecil talks about. I really loved that car, and am gutted I ever got rid of it! So cool to hear Cecil. I watched the 1993 Worlds video about 100 times and he is on there a bit too, great to hear he is still about, you can tell how he cracks into some super in depth theory how smart he is. And I enjoyed Jurgen's contribution too! I always used LRP when I could. Who knows, one of these may be in my future :)

    I had a Top Cat when they first came out, and brought the Cougar conversion kit when the Cougar arrived. I never raced it much though, as I preferred 4wd (for which I had a Kyosho Lazer).

    This car looks better than 90% of today's over-saturated junk RTR type cars in the market!

      Hallo,
      please…no offence or insistence of being right at all… 🙏🌈☮️… just kidding…
      But…
      We did not have NiMH those days… 😉🧐😂
      …and anyway… NiCd cells where actually way better and much more solid than NiMH… if there just would not have been the capacity aspect… 😉😂😊…
      And of course I know what you mean... 6 Sub-C cells...
      Keep on having a great RC FUN time…!!! 🍀
