Aerox Cougar KC/KD buggy body shell

UK Aerox distributor Schumacher has introduced a new body shell for the Cougar KC/KD 2WD buggy. The body is designed to improve the aero package of the Cougar KD and particularly KC models.

Michal Orlowski used it to great effect at the recent EOS in Poland claiming 4th place from 3rd on the grid and he says: “The new Aerox bodyshell feels great to drive. Car is more agile and rolls round less so it makes you feel more confident. That makes you faster on the track.
