Default Cougar 2000 vintage racer project

Looking at doing some vintage racing, i managed to get hold of a pretty tidy cougar 2000 on eBay. The 94 spec, so straight arms, but some random driveshafts. Could be the ones after the red ones that always failed!
Anyway, this is what i received... Very happy!

So far i've completely stripped the car down, ordered a new screw and bearing set, rebuilt the diff and shocks, and now waiting for screws, bearings, body and gear cover. Once the last few bits arrive i can begin the rebuild properly!

I've got one of these to start on soon too, mine has the red drive shafts, I thought they were the weak ones actually!

Mine has plastic slider driveshafts... Not sure how they'll hold up to a 7.5 brushless setup... Time will tell!

the plastic shafts are ok, the red ones broke easily. my fab2000 has the plastic shafts, used for a couple of years in the welsh league and then as a mess around car and never broke one, old 11 double brushed in it so probably more like an 8.5 brushless

The plastic were the first ones followed by the red shafts.
Breakage wasn't the issue. They were too short and would pop out constantly so longer silver ones were introduced
