Good man! I'm really feeling the love for my favourite 2WD buggy of all time. Can't wait to see what you do on this one.

Hi BORMAC, I have to agree with you. There is something about the Cougar 2 in general that makes it special with it fans and probably the most followed schumacher IMO . The Cougar 2 WORKS on the other hand is something else and I have to say that the WORKS is my favorite as well.

Keep an eye on this build because I have something special coming for this build very special.....

Default Diff and Layshaft Build !!!!!!

So I started the build of the diff and layshaft. Diff has been completely cleaned and greased up. The layshaft has been polished up along with all spacers. The idler has also been removed of a greasy covering and now spotless.

So heres the start of the Cougar Works rebuild.....

Quick question ( maybe a stupid one ) but how do you know if the ball bearings need replacing or is it a case of take it apart clean it up and if they look ok re grease and put back together. I ask cus I have a mms diff set that needs doing.

Default Gearbox build !!!!!!!!!!!!

The gearbox is now built. All went together again really well. All new screws to the complete gearbox fitted.

Looking a little better than when first removed.

Just out of curiosity do you need to shave the front wishbones slightly to fit the pin brace or is there a slightly longer hinge pin?
