Schumacher have introduced their new Cougar Laydown Stock Spec 2WD buggy kit. The Stock Spec is an evolution of the EOS winning Cougar Laydown and huge attention to detail has been paid to reducing the car’s overall weight for the increasingly popular Stock 2WD buggy class, as shown with Schumacher engineer Tristram Neal’s recent TQ and win at EOS round 1 in Daun. The Stock Spec kit includes a carbon fibre chassis, carbon fibre motor plate, alloy layshaft and spur lockout, carbon fibre lower transmission housings and an Aerox 0.5mm ultra light body. The Stock Spec still retains its versatility with exceptional performance on a wide range of grip levels, from carpet, astro and dirt.

Coming soon from H2 Racing Development are new carbon fibre battery holders for their Tamiya TRF420MM and TRF419MM mid-motor conversion kits. Machined from high-quality Torayca carbon fibre for a low weight and exceptional durability the adjustable battery mounts are usable with H2RD’s own MM chassis plates while the mounts will also fit the 419X and 419XR original chassis plates, however this requires some easy to perform modifications to the main plates. Due to the design of the chassis, the hooks are not usable with the original TRF419 chassis. The battery mount set, that uses fibre-reinforced tape to secure the battery, is available for pre-order now and it will become available around early March.
Coming from Yokomo and made for the rear motor YD-2 series of RWD drift cars is a special heatsink aluminium motor mount. Machined from aluminium and featuring a heatsink design for improved heat dissipation, the motor mount also allows for seven motor height adjustments that enable the owner to adjust the car’s centre of gravity according to the driving style and track conditions. A new ultra low mounting position allows for an even wider range of settings. The motor mount comes black anodised for looks and with machined silver highlights.
