Schumacher Cougar SV optional chassis & top deck

Schumacher have announced the release of two new products for the Cougar SV 2wd buggy. The new chassis and top deck set has been developed over several months by their high level team drivers in a variety of conditions. The chassis is 8mm longer than the standard kit which significantly changes the weight balance of the car, while the weight distribution is now shifted further towards the rear which makes the car more stable, easier to drive and offers better rear traction on medium to low grip surfaces. In addition to the chassis, the above longer top deck is also required. Once again it has been developed by their team to provide the optimal flex for this chassis design.
