Revive RC Cougar LD3 ‘Hunter’ Low Profile body

With Schumacher Racing adding body shell producer Revive RC to its product line, they have shared images of the special Low Profile ‘Hunter’ body for its Cougar LD3 1:10 2WD buggy.  Key Design Features of the body include a low, smooth profile which is designed to keep the centre of gravity down while allowing space around the motor for additional fans and electronics.  The final design is over 2 grams lighter than the stock body. A sculpted section behind the cab creates a rear airflow deflector that channels air upward onto the wing, improving stability.  At the rear of the deflector are also three optional 5mm diameter cut-outs to help vent residual motor heat rather than side air intakes.  With a purpose-built rear wing that measures 160mm wide, 65mm chord, 40mm high, the front centre follows the LD3 shock tower’s “V” profile to capture airflow that normally passes through.  Multiple 5mm incremental cut lines at the rear providing tuning options.
