I have just been on to Schumacher.
They are aware that there is an issue with some of the driveshafts falling apart, and are sending me a replacement one out today, so no complaints there. I am sure once these problems are sorted out with my car it will be all good - I couldn't catch Tom Pattison at Southport yesterday with his, and I was running 4wd! |

Good to hear
Yeah our quick guy at our track is getting close to the 4WD track record with his! |

Took the cougar out yesterday for its first run and it drove really well. Performance wise i was really impressed but wasnt too keen on the quality of the turnbuckles. The 2 front camber link turnbuckles both bent at about 45 degrees at the bendy ball cup end, and then a rear bent as well in a seperate heat with no accidents
I rang schumacher to see if there was any quality issues with these and they said they know of none, and that their turnbuckles are as hard as any of their competitors. Anyone experienced turnbuckles made of cheese??? |

Was going to order an SX2 C/F, but they don't come with titanium turnbuckles etc. which bumps the price back up |

Not 'experienced' them as the team drivers simply told me not to bother. This Cougar lark gets damned expensive after Ti turnbuckles, camber link options etc!

Gearbox. I have used some wet and dry sand paper on a very flat surface and sanded the high spots of the off the moundings, thus helping the fit and reducing the gap between the two halfs.
Don`t take to much off or you`ll make the layshaft and idle gears bind.

I might take mine apart before i get to far into the building just to double check it sits flat... once assembled the gear box shows the gap no matter which order i did the screws up.. but once installed on the car and removing the spru burs off the diff cups housings i cant see a gap at all .. i thought i did see a gap last night just under the camber link, but after looking again today i cant see a gap at all anywhere. during assembly .. I did come across a crushed ball stud in the first packet i opened for the build... had to raid my parts bin. |

thats some pretty bad QC at schu.
I have never seen a ball stud like that before, not even in the cheapest kits. im starting to have 2nd thoughts now, knowing how dodgy this car is/can be. does the original cat sx have ti turnbuckles? if not, are they the same as the SV's? |

It looks like there is some tweaking of the moulding when it is cooling, with the gearbox.
As for the ball stud, I have seen that in other kits too, they can't physically check every metal piece like screws and such.

You want them to check every ballstud thread, seriously?? How much are you prepared to pay for the kit?? Sadly the odd one will always slip through, same for every single kit manufacture.

Ive pulled my diff housing down and sanded it back a bit.. taken very little off, using 1200 grade wet and dry.. the 3 screw sections seem to have ever so slight differences and wont allow the other housing bits to sit flush, after a very little skims over some glass with sand paper on it the housing sit nice and flush and went back onto the car perfect. Its a model after all, some fit and finish work on such a new item maybe required. |

We all rushed them to give use the car so little problems like this will happen...they'll be corrected in the near future for sure. But if Cockril and Moss can win with it, it can't be that bad

Here is another Issue with my steering.
I am using a JR 9100s Servo. With the stock servo horn they supplied. It is hitting the Inside of the Nose and Binds for a split second. Anyone else having this Issue.

remove the slipper assembly and back of the three screws that hold the gearbox half's together, leave them loose and remount the gearbox top on the chassis again tighten it down then re tighten the three screws, taken care not to over tighten them, and re assemble the slipper layshaft assembly and tight spot should be gone and gap also,if theres still a small tight spot run it gently around for 5 10 mins it will go free,

Indeed I was about to say where in the manual does it say put that washer in.
I've used a Savox and Sanwa with no issues in the car. |
