Remarks: The Polish Schumacher driver is proving himself in very good form here at the Wels Modellbau. His Cougar KF II has been updated since the last EOS round in Berlin with a carbon fibre chassis that replaced the stock aluminium one. Despite the track offering good bite he is also using the ‘Low grip conversion’ kit which moves the motor backwards and allows the use of a shorty battery pack. Aluminium rear bulkheads, hubs and front steering knuckles complete the list of option parts.

In order to limit the weight, aluminium centre driveshafts as well as titanium screws and titanium turnbuckles have been installed on the car.

Motor: Reedy

Batteries: Reedy
Radio/Servo: Sanwa/XP
Remarks – The Norwegian AE driver is running an interesting example of the B5M chassis here in Berlin. The front arms and shock tower are from the rear motor version of the car, in order to obtain a different suspension ratio. The buggy sports a brass front bulkhead, titanium screws and a number of aluminum bits, such as the steering rack, the front hinge pin holder and the rear camber link mounts. Joakim opted for a 4-gear transmission, and decided to use a rear swaybar to better suit the track conditions. His car also features JConcepts wing and Silencer bodyshell.
