Schumacher has announced today their all-new 2wd offroad buggy platform. This unique car features a wide-variety of new features that have not been seen or used by other manufacturers.
The new Cougar KF is a high performance 2WD racing buggy that has been designed especially for high traction carpet and astro circuits. The key feature of the KF is its forward motor position that is designed to make the car more responsive than traditional designs. The Cougar KF is equipped with a low maintenance gear diff, efficient belt drive, industry standard 12mm hex front and rear wheels, lightweight carbon fiber chassis, and big bore shocks.
It also now sports Schumachers new aggressive stealth black look, first seen on the CAT K1 4WD. The original prototype cars were unexpectedly used at the recent IFMAR World Championships and had top 10 runs against the Worlds best. The car also TQ'ed the opening round of the EOS with Tom Cockerill behind the wheel.
(Notice the innovative shock tower protectors both front and rear.)
